But what exactly is it that attracts lovers and new discoverers to L.A. Jordan? moves to Deidesheim?
“The almost unparalleled cuisine at L.A. Jordan, which impresses with its great taste and craftsmanship,” say some. “It’s the touch of Japan,” say the others. In fact, inspired by the Asian world of flavors, Schimkowitsch clearly picks up on Japanese elements, but does not copy them, remaining true to his line and bringing true flavor bombs to the plate with the Kinmedai from the Dry-Ager and the Wagyu beef. His cuisine is set in the here and now, and he concentrates on the essentials: the highest quality products.
And what does the Executive Chef himself see as the core of his cuisine?
“I love everything from the water, so fish and seafood, as well as meat,” he admits with a grin. A passion that drives him to create exceptional flavors at the highest level!
