Overview
- Host Chiarina launched the Bodensee week in Singen with a burrata starter, ossobuco with risotto, and a pistachio lava cake served with chocolate–chili ice cream.
- Guest Andreas bit into a fresh chili from the dessert, briefly felt unwell by his account, and was given bread to temper the heat.
- The lava cake’s molten center did not flow as planned for some plates, though diners still praised the taste and the convivial mood.
- Scoring for the opening dinner totaled 32 points, marking a solid start to the week’s competition.
- Reports highlighted Chiarina’s Calabrian roots and mixed heritage, as well as husband Daniele’s helping hand during prep.
