Marcel Tauschek

The Climb

Training at Restaurant Nuvolari gave Tauschek his entry into the trade, but the shape of his career was formed in the sequence of stations that followed. The Post in Berlin, Traube Tonbach in Baiersbronn, Vlet in der Speicherstadt in Hamburg, Jellfish in Hamburg, and Weinsinn in Frankfurt each added another service environment to the same disciplined foundation. The list matters less as a résumé flourish than as evidence of repetition under pressure, where craft is built through exposure to different kitchens and the same demands of timing, control, and consistency. That foundation eventually brought him to Mountain Hub Gourmet, Hilton Munich Airport in Munich, where he served as Sous Chef from 2020–2023. The significance of those years lies in continuity: first as part of the kitchen structure, then as the place from which he stepped into leadership. In 2023, he was also Executive Sous Chef at Hilton Munich Airport in Munich, underscoring how closely his work remained tied to the same hotel and culinary setting.

Today

Since 2023, Tauschek has led the kitchen as Head Chef at Mountain Hub Gourmet. The move from Sous Chef to Head Chef within the same restaurant marks a clear transfer of trust, with the house promoting from inside rather than importing a new hand. For the brigade, that kind of continuity can matter as much as any title: the pace of service, the standards on the pass, and the shape of the kitchen all stay legible under a leader who already knows the room.

In Their Words “I can’t imagine a better profession than being a cook.” The line is direct, and it fits a career built through steady kitchen work rather than public performance. It also frames the trade in plain terms: the profession itself is the point, and the work is where the satisfaction sits. “My expectations and hopes were already fulfilled during my apprenticeship.” Read alongside the rest of his record, the statement points to an apprenticeship that confirmed the trade early and fixed the direction that followed. The craft was not presented as an outside pursuit; it was established as the thing he was already prepared to keep doing.

Recognition

The clearest recognition in Tauschek’s record is the move into the head-chef role after earlier service as Sous Chef at Mountain Hub Gourmet and Executive Sous Chef at Hilton Munich Airport. It reflects a career advanced through internal trust and steady responsibility: training, stations, support roles, and then leadership at Mountain Hub Gourmet in Munich in 2023.
