Zum Nürnberger Finale findet sich Mike im "Palmyra" ein, wo Argan arabische Küche präsentiert. Der Profi erwartet nebst einer Gewürzkeule auch den Beweis vom Koch, dass er alles besser kann, was er die Woche über reichlich kritisierte. Mike Süsser ist von der Sauberkeit in Argans Küche angetan, doch dass er Lebensmittelfarbe und allzu gern die Fritteuse benutzt sowie seine Gewürzmischung nicht kennt, macht den Starkoch dann doch etwas skeptisch...
„Mein Lokal, Dein Lokal“ stellt fünf sympathische Restaurantbesitzer mit ihren Lokalitäten vor und lässt diese gegeneinander antreten - aber nicht auf dem normalen Weg. Die Restaurantbesitzer lassen sich als Gast in vier weiteren Restaurants verwöhnen und nehmen die anderen Betriebe unter die Lupe. Im Gegenzug müssten Sie natürlich auch die anderen Teilnehmer für einen Besuch in Ihren Betrieb einchecken und Ihr Essen und Restaurant testen lassen. Wo der normale Gast in einem Restaurant vielleicht nur auf den vollen Teller achtet, wissen die Profis genau, worauf es ankommt: Geschmack, Service, Atmosphäre, Sauberkeit, ein unschlagbares Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und natürlich das Gesamtkonzept. Außerdem ist der Profikoch Mike Süsser mit an Bord und gibt seine Bewertung ab.
A finale from 1001 Nights in Nuremberg.
I'll show you what kind of Arabic cuisine we have.
Come on, Habibi, come on!
It's too dry for me.
The fritter is a failure here.
I think Corinna can experience something now.
Mother's recipes and large portions.
To be honest, I can't eat it when I see it like this.
Don't throw everything into the fritter.
Fry dead.
Is the spice right?
I'm a little fed up with the taste.
Nuremberg is one of the places with the highest quality of life.
Which gastronomist increases the city's well-being factor in terms of food?
The Il Rossini leads with 34 points.
Today it's the restaurant Palmira's turn.
It's in the neighboring Erlangen and is now being tested by Maik Süßer.
So, the week is coming to an end.
It was an exciting week.
It's funny how everything is showing off.
And what concepts are going on in the city.
And now it's going to be Arabic.
Arjan cooks Arabic.
So spices, coriander, cumin.
Whatever.
I'm curious if he can keep up.
The shop is over there. I'm going in now.
Just where?
You have to look carefully to find the shop.
I think it's a shame.
It's a great kitchen, an exciting kitchen.
It has to be here.
The Arabic has to be known outside.
Let's see if it's inside.
Arjan wants to make sure of that.
Hello Maik.
Hello.
Now it's your turn.
Four days of eating and now cooking yourself.
You are the brother.
Arjan, suddenly in the cooking jacket.
I think, aha.
He's making a whole new impression now.
Now he can prove everything.
He has put in a lot of effort this week.
Now he can put everything in place
to make everything better,
what he found in criticism.
Now you come in here and think,
wow, nice.
But outside you still have to do something.
Because it's great what you're doing.
We're already there.
Only two years ago, Arjan's brother Ivan
opened the restaurant.
Have you always arranged it so nicely here, guys?
Yes, always.
Always nicely covered
with napkins
and a little covered with the wine.
It's a little rougher.
It's not too playful.
Is it still going on back there?
Come on, let's go in there.
The two Iraqis love the Arabic cuisine,
especially those of the Syrian neighbors.
You are the owner,
your brother is in the kitchen.
Arjan builds his calories while cooking.
The 20 square meter kitchen
is practically his fitness club.
I'm more into the Syrian-Lebanese cuisine.
Because it really tastes great.
I really want to dive into the kitchen.
You'll take me with you now.
In between, I'll change.
And you have to prepare,
because the contestants are coming right away.
They're coming.
We're ready.
But I want to cook with you now.
Shall we do it that way?
Yes, of course.
Look a little like this.
Okay, Arjan.
He's shaped by the green line.
Slim and tall.
And his brother is like me.
We'd rather eat.
And so that no one falls off the meat here,
it goes down to the kitchen,
where the slim Arjan
wants to convince Profi Mike with his cooking skills.
So, Mike.
What's up?
Okrashoten Bamiya.
That's an Arabic dish.
Right.
I know okrashoten.
I'm looking forward to it.
It's like a stew with okrashoten.
Right.
Okra or green schnabel
has been grown for 4,000 years.
What do you do first?
The meat.
Let's go.
This is beef.
What do we have here?
Should I show it to you?
Yes.
Should I show it to you?
Yes.
The lower part.
The thigh.
The outer area.
That's the lower part.
Okay.
So it's the outer part of the beef.
When it's ordered
in the butcher shop,
it's already pre-cooked.
We pre-cook it every day
for the evening.
Don't you want to do everything right away?
Do you just make a small part for me?
Exactly.
The main thing is that I see it.
Yes.
To hear it,
the Arabic word for meat is lachem.
Your meat is from this region, right?
It doesn't come from Egypt, does it?
No.
But we buy it.
There is a Turkish shop here.
That's halal.
Halal
doesn't mean that you
shake it.
It's about a permissible,
clean, separate,
preservation,
and that you work clean and clean.
Halal means halal.
The opposite is haram,
i.e. forbidden.
Look at this.
Everything is clean here too, right?
Believe me, I see a lot of kitchens.
The food has to taste now.
But this is really fine.
I like it.
What do we do next?
Now we make Bamya.
Bamya.
Okrashote.
Is that a fresh one?
Fresh.
I know okrashote from the Asian,
Arabic, Indian area.
It's a very special vegetable.
You have to cut off the top of the head.
They are very greasy,
slimy when they are cooked.
I would say it's a gentleman's thing.
Okra vegetables are slimy.
But that's why it's also a good
binder for stews and
stew dishes.
Do you make the tomato paste later?
Yes.
Why?
Is there a reason?
We always do it this way,
because it doesn't get too strong.
It gets a little lighter.
And then I put the Bamya in here.
Oh, they come in right away.
I've never seen it like that before.
Okrashote, but this preparation
and frying it
beforehand,
that's so ...
I don't know, I don't quite understand.
I hope the taste will convince me.
Arjan loves spices.
And what do you have there?
These are the seven spices.
What's in there,
if I remember correctly?
Cumin, cumin.
What else do we have?
I think there's also
pepper in there.
I know the hot spice
and the pepper spice.
There's something else, but you don't know.
I don't know, but I know ...
Clove is in there and cinnamon is in there too.
Cinnamon is in there too.
Nimo has to think for himself and help him
with his spice mixture.
But thanks for the warning.
That's a basmati rice, right?
Are you doing anything special there?
Can I see that too?
The chef leaves the rice
in peace.
What's that?
That's the color.
Real food color.
And that makes the rice yellow.
Why don't you take turmeric?
The taste.
Turmeric doesn't have that much taste.
You don't need anything.
It's not a natural ...
Do it now, but a tip for you.
Just try it.
I think now ...
Just because it came out of his mouth this week.
Turmeric, I would have expected more.
He then takes turmeric to incorporate
from the rice.
Or saffron, that's costly.
But we don't need food color.
No.
Chef Mike remains skeptical.
This is the meat.
Can I try it like this?
Of course.
In any case, very original, nothing else.
Now comes one to the other.
Meat plus vegetables plus rice.
Almost done.
I'm thrilled.
I know how I do it.
But I think it tastes good.
I'm a little worried about these okra shoots.
It's not mine.
This mucus.
I'm looking forward to it.
And you have to be curious
how it tastes.
Maybe there are healthy
extra points for the many ballast substances
and the vitamin C in okra vegetables.
It tastes very good.
It also has this Arabic touch, of course.
So through the cinnamon, of course.
That's very typical.
The okra shoot has to be soft-boiled.
It's a good dish at some point.
A dish I've never eaten like this before.
You need this cucumber story.
You don't do that anymore.
Maybe you can optically
get something out of it.
For the competition right now.
Cook properly.
You have to prepare the main course
and really sell the best.
Where you say,
I hope these tips
really taste good
in your heart and stomach.
Right.
I wish you all the best for the competition.
I won't reveal my points yet.
Thank you very much.
Ivan, thank you.
You're welcome.
Bamia.
Premiere for me.
The okra shoot is not my favorite vegetable.
That's why I didn't pull it out right away.
But well done.
Decisive week. Decisive last day.
The last points will be given.
I'm curious if all the competitors can
classify it.
I hope they rate it fairly.
But for me it was the heart.
We'll see.
