Atelier Moessner - Norbert Niederkofler

A wonderful dinner at this 3 michelin star restaurant in Brunico Italy in South Tyrol.

Chef Niederkofler's philosophy is called "Cook the Mountain" and he only uses local ingredients.

I love food!

I love thinking about it, preparing it, looking at it, smelling it, and eating it.

I read about food. I watch TV documentaries about chefs and their restaurants. I collect cookbooks and recipes.

I love good food, and I love bad food. My food spectrum encompasses everything from the worst junk food to the world’s top haute cuisine and gourmet restaurants.

To date, I have dined in hundreds of restaurants worldwide, among them over 180 Michelin-star rated restaurants (including over 70 3-stars).

I feel that today’s most creative chefs produce art masterpieces just like the geniuses like Da Vinci, Michelangelo & Van Gogh. I enjoy such creativity immensely and have therefore targeted visiting as many Michelin-star restaurants as possible (because the Michelin guide is a type of curator for these creative geniuses).

The Michelin Guide, produced by the same Michelin manufacturer of tires, is a guidebook originally created to increase driving. It recommended restaurants based on a simple format:
[ ] A no-star review means that a restaurant is good, and worthy of a try if you are nearby.
[ ] A 1-star review means that a restaurant is very good and worthy of a stop on your trip.
[ ] A 2-star review means that a restaurant is excellent and worthy of a detour on your trip.
[ ] A 3-star review means that a restaurant is exceptional and worthy of a special journey.
