Description

Today on our episode #391 of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer's guest is Rasmus Munk, head chef and co-owner of Alchemist in Copenhagen, Denmark, where Shari dined in late April and interviewed Rasmus on-location. Shari also has a follow-up interview with Rasmus in Las Vegas in June during The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2024. Alchemist was ranked No. 5 on 50 Best in 2023, and is currently No. 8 on its 2024 list. Alchemist has also received two Michelin Stars, and is No. 1 on OAD (Opinionated About Dining) 2024 in Europe, and Rasmus is No. 6 on The Best Chef list 2023. All remarkable achievements. Rasmus was born in Randers in Jutland, Denmark, and at age 22, he became head chef at TreeTop in Vejle, where he started combining ingredients, textures, and flavors in new ways, ultimately leading to the opening of the first Alchemist in Copenhagen in 2015. After two years of preparation, in 2019, he moved Alchemist to a 22,000 square foot space in the industrial district of Refshaleøen in Copenhagen, showcasing “Holistic Cuisine” with 50 edible impressions and an artfully composed dining experience with performers, installations, and incredible architecture, including a planetarium dome. Rasmus has teamed up with SpaceVIP, a luxury space travel group, described as a carbon-neutral spaceflight experience company, to offer ‘stratospheric dining’ on a six-hour flight taking off from Florida, US, in 2025. 

Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to be a conversation starter; Speed Round; and Shari's Solo Dining experience at chef and owner Beau Clugston's wonderful seafood restaurant, ILUKA, in Copenhagen, Denmark.
