Steffen Henssler furious: “The toughest jury wants to shit”

Steffen Henssler furious: “The toughest jury wants to shit”

For the TV chef, the fall season of “Grill den Henssler” was extremely turbulent. Steffen Henssler, 48, tore a torn muscle fiber and lost two shows in a row. Sunday night, however, had a happy ending, because so far both he and his opponents had won a total of three games. Everything would be decided at the end of the season.

Alluding to his injury, Henssler gave the slogan “The Christmas Menu”, “pinch your ass”. It involved “Lets’s Dance” judge Joachim Llambi, author Laura Karasek, and host Sonja Zietlow, who, under the direction of Stefan Marquard, did everything they could to spoil the upcoming Henssler festival.

Henssler deals against Joachim Llambi

The beginning immediately put Henssler in a bad mood, because printen, kale and corned beef were going to be used for the improv course. In the usual direct way, Henssler commented on the adventurous mix of ingredients as follows: “This is bullshit, this is crazy! It doesn’t fit in front and back.”

Not only the veal (“It’s one by one like dog food!”), But shortly afterwards Joachim Llambi made life difficult for the cook. The early rock of “Let’s Dance,” known for its ruthless commercials, distributed a set on one of the jury’s decks after time ran out. Henssler couldn’t take that:

Sonja Zietlow, meanwhile, exercised modesty during the first round and complained to the presenter Laura Wontorra: “I can’t cook like this and if I’m supposed to talk at the same time, it’s terrible.”

Henssler then decided the first round with enough confidence for himself, but the highest number of points awarded was a modest six by Rainer Calmund. Corned beef definitely didn’t win any friends that night, not even on the jury.

Joachim Llambi (no) is silent about his private life

In the initial duel there was a direct battle of forces between Steffen Henssler and Joachim Llambi. The latter thought he was safe with a fish dish, as he had already won a fish dish against the cook. The fillet of walleye with potato flakes and Mediterranean vegetables was the task now.

Laura Wontorra took the opportunity to obtain information from Llambi about her private life, or at least she tried. According to rumors, the RTL jury is back with his wife. When he himself first brought this into play (“At home, I am always my dearest, says my wife”), Wontorra bit his question about the state of the relationship on the granite: “I don’t have to comment on anything,” Llambi said.

However, that didn’t stop him from picking up the subject a few minutes later: “My wife would probably want me to cook more.” Now Wontorra smelled the morning air: “Can you cook well, your wife?” He asked. But then only a brief “yes” from Llambi follows. The moderator certainly had less complicated guests at “Grill den Henssler”.

The little dispute between Henssler and Llambi, of course, should not be taken too seriously tonight. The TV chef made it clear: “You can turn it off, you feel like it. You like to give, but you also take with great success. In this sense, you can send one.”

Laura Wontorra and Laura Karasek on the same wavelength

Laura Wontorra and Laura Karasek are not only connected by their first name, but also by the fact that they both have famous parents (literary critic Hellmuth Karasek died in 2015), with whom they repeatedly clash. That had to be discussed, of course, and the two had a lively conversation as they prepared the main course: duck with red cabbage and dumplings.

“Always these famous daughters, who do the same as their father, have nothing to say except what their family relationships are like,” Wontorra sarcastically opens the dialogue. They both discover that they are often asked about their father. Karasek is in a little conflict in this regard and stated:

“Apparently, women can only function in reference to a man,” Karasek said at the time, noting that she is mostly seen as the daughter of Hellmuth Karasek or as a representative of Jan Böhmermann on ZDF Neo.

Laura Karasek’s career as a writer was also discussed and Wontorra came out as a huge fan of her feminist literature. The Karasek didn’t help with the jury’s evaluation, instead Henssler put them in place on the points.

Sonja Zietlow misses Dirk Bach

Now it was Zietlow’s turn to pull the irons out of the fire for the challengers. The dessert consisting of eggnog tart with pistachio cream and marinated oranges was the last chance. A fairly elaborate dessert that didn’t make Henssler jump for joy: “Got a slap or something?” Zietlow laughed.

Next, Wontorra wanted to remind a bit of Zietlow’s long television career. The jungle camp, for example, has been moderating these for 16 years, as Laura Wontorra noted. That, in turn, led the host of “I’m a star, get me out of here” to make an emotional commitment:

Zietlow also remembered his former colleague Dirk Bach, who died in 2012. He apparently developed a close connection to this, especially since the reality show repeatedly sparked controversy and came under fire. That is welded together. Zietlow’s comment on the jungle camp with Bach:

With these insights into the emotional world of Zietlow, the hearts of many viewers should open up. Steffen Henssler, however, showed no mercy and also authorized the last cooking dish. the Jurors Christian Rach and Mirja Boes even scored ten points for the star chef’s creation. On the other hand, there was simply no participation for the competition.

The final score was 100 points against 89 points for Henssler. He only submitted two cooking contests, one of them, by the way, because he wrote the text of the classic “Last Christmas” by Wham! He did not know. But he could easily afford it.
