Lufthansa is from this month treating Business Class passengers to new and exciting menu variations from Michelin star-awarded Chef Mario Kotaska on flights in Europe.

Mario Kotaska is noted for his unusual menu combinations. He refines traditional homestyle dishes with extravagant ingredients and aromas. In Germany, he is a popular figure on a round of cooking shows on TV. He expertly serves up fast food with finesse typically demonstrated at mobile snackbars, which he labels ”Bratwerk by Mario Kotaska“. Since 2009, he has operated mobile snack booths under his name across Germany, serving top-quality fast food classics at constantly changing locations.

On German domestic and short cross-border flights, for example from Frankfurt to Basel, his imaginative creations will be served in the cabin under the motto “Streetfood“. Passengers have a choice of Kotaska classics, such as a savoury curried hot pork sausage recipe which he himself has invented. Also on the menu is Stecklfish (fish grilled on a stick) on wax bean salad, refined with sour cream, savory, diced onions and parsley. As a tasty dessert, passengers will be served “mango fries“ with mascarpone crème and strawberry puree. Another of the popular TV chef’s variations are Frankfurters on “Anapurna” lentil salad, potatoes with herbal green sauce, egg and parsley and, as dessert, Frankfurter Kranz (buttercream-filled cake).
