Overview
- Under the theme “Bella ciao – aber erst nach dem Dessert,” the 33-year-old served tomato tartare, tagliata di manzo with homemade pasta, and a lemon-bar dessert.
- He welcomed contestants to his self-converted row house in Osnabrück, where the garden drew praise, including Christina’s “schockverliebt” and Heiner’s nod to his professional skill.
- The prep featured labor-intensive tomato work with friend Niklas, and a torn pasta dough prompted a rescue tip from Mirko’s sister to add water.
- Feedback was mixed: the tomato tartare was called mushy and lacking full tomato flavor, while the main course was enjoyed despite one guest expecting warmer tagliata from past meals in Italy.
- Mirko finished the night with 30 points—6 from Jonas and 8 from each of the others—matching his personal minimum goal.
