Tim Mälzer is sitting relaxed at dinner. But in the middle of the peace and quiet, Lucki Maurer comes around the corner and surprises Tim Mälzer with a box! For the first time in the history of "Kitchen Impossible", an opposing chef turns into the original chef.

The heart of the Turkish community in Cologne beats on Keupstrasse. Tim Mälzer is accompanied along Keupstrasse by one of the restaurant owners himself and immerses himself in the hustle and bustle of this special street.

When it comes to cooking in the Wulf family, only one name comes up: Luba. No one cooks Kazakh dishes as faithfully and authentically as she does. Alexander Wulf sends Tim Mälzer to the closest family circle in Erkelenz.

Philip Rachinger has taken over his father's reins in the historic Rachinger family business on the Mühltalhof. Tim Mälzer is reserved when he opens the box - he doesn't really understand the dish.

Tim Mälzer has only had to recreate the dish of a chef with the highest award of three Michelin stars in two shows. In this respect, it is not surprising that his rival chef would send him to a highly starred colleague.

In this Kitchen Impossible "Best Friends Edition", Tim Mälzer, Tim Raue and Alexander Herrmann compete against each other to find out face to face who is the best among them.
