Frank Rosin Exposes Chaos at Wildeshauser Ratskeller in TV Episode
Celebrity chef Frank Rosin visited the Wildeshauser Ratskeller in December 2025 during the tenure of former host Holger Munke and documented severe organizational and kitchen failures, kreiszeitung.de reported. The episode of the cable series “Rosins Restaurants” premieres on Kabel 1 on Thursday, October 15, at 8:15 PM and is available for streaming in advance on Joyn.de.
Munke closed the restaurant in December 2025, just weeks after the television production wrapped. The establishment is currently operated by Florian Spichalski.
Kitchen Hygiene and Timing Failures During the First Test Dinner
During the initial unannounced visit, Rosin inspected the kitchen and identified severe sanitation issues alongside major communication breakdowns between the service staff and the cooks. According to the show’s broadcast, the chef stated, Absolutes Chaos. Das Spülwasser schimmelt, als wenn da Leichen drin wären,
criticizing the hygiene standards on site. The kitchen struggled to prepare for a fully booked dining room featuring two large announced tour groups, leading to extended wait times and dishes served cold to test diners. Reviewing the first evening, Rosin awarded the restaurant three out of five stars, noting it earned that rating nur, weil die Kellnerinnen so nett waren,
while characterizing the score itself as a slap in the face.
Menu Overhaul and Financial Consulting Implemented Before Follow-Up
To address the culinary shortcomings, Rosin overhauled the menu alongside the kitchen staff, replacing a basic house pan consisting of potato slices, vegetables, pork tenderloin, and packaged hollandaise sauce with new options including cod, goulash soup, schnitzel, and a vegetarian casserole. A subsequent team meeting revealed that Munke routinely permitted excessive complimentary drinks and allowed staff to take over planning responsibilities. The production team provided financial and event consulting, alongside efforts to optimize the dining room layout and repair broken kitchen equipment.
Persistent Disorganization on the Second Test Evening
A second test dinner conducted nearly a week later demonstrated improvements in food quality, but administrative and planning flaws persisted among the management. Commentary during the broadcast highlighted ongoing delegation issues, noting, Es ist bezeichnend: Alles, was planerisch realisiert wird, aufgeschrieben wird, machen die Mitarbeiter. Nicht der Chef. Der lässt sich das komplett aus der Hand nehmen.
The episode concludes with Rosin offering parting well wishes to Munke, who shuttered the business shortly afterward.
