Liefern ab! (2024)
Synopsis
Two top chefs duel in a delivery service of a special kind. Here you can't just order something, but the cooks are confronted with selected tasks. But these have it all: based on information alone, which the chefs only receive gradually, they have to guess for themselves how many customers there are and what these customers might like. Helpful hints only come gradually and - often - too late.

Episodes
Mälzer and Mraz deliver!
Even after Steffen Henssler's departure, this unusual delivery service opens its doors. Besides duels between Tim Mälzer and a challenger, there are also duels between two chefs without Mälzer. In the first episode, Mälzer meets Lukas Mraz. The Austrian, who runs the two-Michelin-starred restaurant "Mraz und Sohn" in Vienna with his father (a restaurant that has held two Michelin stars since 2016), is no stranger to cooking show fans in Germany. In addition to various appearances on "Kitchen Impossible," he has also participated in "Ready to Beef" and "Knife Fight Club." Mraz's very special humor, combined with his loose tongue, his sometimes chaotic manner, and his unique way of cooking, guarantee top-notch entertainment in combination with Mälzer's "Hamburg wit".
Fuchs and Vogel deliver!
In the second episode Viktoria Fuchs and Philipp Vogel face off. Besides appearances on "Kitchen Impossible," Fuchs has been a guest on the delivery service several times and knows the challenge inside and out. In duels with Max Strohe, the charming Black Forest native demonstrated her culinary skills and proved she's not afraid to speak her mind. Philipp Vogel boasts an impressive résumé: he has cooked in several 1-, 2-, and even 3-Michelin-starred restaurants in Germany and has also worked not only in Europe but also in Asia. Like Fuchs, he too has faced Mälzer's opponent on "Kitchen Impossible" and is therefore familiar with the unique challenges of the tasks.
Mälzer and Klipp deliver!
In the third episode, Tim Mälzer and Zora Klipp meet. The trained chef from the Black Forest has been running the "Weidenkantine" café in Hamburg with her sister since 2020 and the vegetarian restaurant "Blattgold" with her sister and brother since 2023. Klipp was and is no stranger to the world of cooking shows. She has already appeared several times as a chef, judge, and presenter on various shows and she's not easily intimidated.
Mälzer and Strohe deliver!
In episode 4, Tim Mälzer and Max Strohe face off once again. The Bonn native, who opened the restaurant "tulus lotrek" in Berlin with Ilona Scholl in 2015 and received a Michelin star in 2016, has been a guest on "Kitchen Impossible" several times and has already competed twice against Viktoria Fuchs in the delivery service challenge titled "Fuchs und Strohe deliver." He therefore not only knows Tim Mälzer's strengths and weaknesses, but also exactly what the delivery service's "customers" expect.
Mälzer and Herrmann deliver!
In episode 5, Tim Mälzer meets Alexander Herrmann, a well-known figure in the world of cooking shows. The Franconian, who runs the Romantik Post Hotel in Wirsberg and whose restaurant boasts two Michelin stars, has likely appeared on virtually every cooking show on German television. However, this is Herrmann's first time encountering the challenges of a delivery service. He knows Tim Mälzer well from "Kitchen Impossible," and the two share a friendly, love-hate relationship. Perfect conditions, then, for an entertaining cook-off between two "alpha personalities."
