Unanimous Verdict and €4,000 Charity Twist Define 'Europa Grillt Den Henssler' Episode

A personal on-air proposal story and national-dish duels set the tone as a three-person jury weighed authenticity and execution.

Overview

  • Four celebrity teams representing the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy and Greece cooked signature dishes in the Dec. 7 installment of the VOX series.
  • Steffen Henssler blasted the Dutch deep-fry lineup as not real cooking but won that opener against Harry Wijnvoord and chef Jasper Meijer.
  • Italy’s Graciela Cucchiara defeated Henssler with trofie alla Genovese praised by the panel for its home-style authenticity.
  • Judges Alexander Herrmann, Ralf Zacherl and Jana Ina Zarrella delivered their first unanimous decision of the night against Greece’s Panagiota Petridou, awarding that round to Henssler.
  • After losing her round, Petridou recounted a bungled marriage proposal and successfully talked Henssler into handing over €4,000 for her fundraising cause.
