Star chef threatens jail time – he remains silent

Munich Alfons Schuhbeck walked in his world completely in white. Whether in one of his establishments on the Platzl in Munich right next to the Hofbräuhaus or while partying in the “Teatro” theater tent, as was the case recently at the Oktoberfest – he celebrated the star chef with the FC Bayern Munich emblem on the chest of his light-colored overall. A top dog. The man, who is known from Bavarian television or his numerous cookbooks, also spoiled the footballers of the top club.

On this Wednesday morning, the permanent ambassador of the Schuhbeck brand is not in a cooking outfit, but in a dark suit – without a tie, with a handkerchief – in the elegant Munich Palace of Justice. He overcomes the minute-long photographer’s session standing and stoically. There have been better times. In Room 134, the Maître de Cuisine is accused of tax evasion by District Court I.
