Overview
- Trettl, who steps in as host on Sunday, fronts Episode 2 against Martin Klein with challenges set in Amsterdam and Tórshavn, while Klein cooks in Cologne and Helsinki.
- Season 11 runs eight episodes through early June on VOX, with each installment streaming on RTL+ the same evening.
- The format sends chefs to unfamiliar kitchens to recreate local dishes without recipes using only taste and sight, with local juries scoring the results.
- In an interview published Friday, Trettl called Mälzer the timpani and himself the triangle and framed his appearance as a friendly stand‑in rather than a reboot.
- This season adds a Team‑Edition featuring Cornelia Poletto, Elif Oskan, and Viktoria Fuchs competing in rotating pairs, expanding the duels without changing the rules.
