Tim Raue: Why the Star Chef Avoids His Own Kitchen and Prefers to Enjoy Currywurst!

"I absolutely won't do that. For no money in the world," the 51-year-old Berlin chef made clear. For him, cooking in a private setting is simply not an issue. It is his job, a part of his personality, but when he has time off, it truly means free time for him – and that excludes the home kitchen. Imagine you're a baker and you bake cakes for friends in your free time? Exactly!

The Refrigerator Shock: Empty Shelves for a Celebrity Chef?

So what does a celebrity chef do when he's hungry and doesn't want to cook? The answer might be even more surprising: Tim Raue goes out to eat. And it doesn't always have to be a three-star restaurant! Instead, he likes to look for the "local equivalent of a currywurst or a döner." If he doesn't go to a restaurant, he simply orders in. And the proof that his own kitchen remains unused? His refrigerator is, except for drinks – brace yourselves – empty!

A Private Retreat: Home is Sacred

For Tim Raue and his wife, their home is an absolutely private place. Here they can unwind and escape the hustle and bustle that his celebrity status brings. It is the only place where no one asks for a selfie or a cooking question. An understandable attitude, considering how much he travels for work and is in the spotlight, as recently seen with the opening of his new restaurant "Sphere Tim Raue" in the Berlin TV Tower.

Leisure Time? What's That?

Although he now takes Sundays off, the celebrity chef emphasizes that he must generally be reachable for his work. There are only a few exceptions, such as his wife's birthday, when he does put his phone aside until the evening. That really doesn't leave much time for private cooking experiments.

This confession once again shows that even the greatest professionals have their limits and use their free time differently than one might expect. Respect for this honest openness!
