Chef Christian was born in Austria and raised on a large farm in the mountains with cattle, pigs, chickens, sheep’s and goats. Not to forget to mention the large vegetable garden and fruit trees, all grown organically. Our dinner table was always full of home-made produce and meats. At the age of 5 years, he showed a passion for cooking. He started helping his mother making homemade bread, cakes, and other dishes. During school breaks he stayed with my aunt, she operated a farm-to-table inn, where he helped her in the kitchen.

At age 15 he started to work as Chef Apprentice in the best restaurant in the state of Styria. After his hard three years of apprenticeship, he moved around Austria working in Toque crowned Restaurants. In 1992 he has joined an ultra-deluxe cruise line and that’s where he got the flavor for the international word. He worked in Australia, Sydney for 2 years and now resides in Cayman.

His passion is brought out most when given fresh produce from land and sea and left alone to create the most consumptions compositions, which he has proven on countless opportunities while running his international kitchen at the Wharf for now over 18 years
