Renowned chef Zdeněk Pohlreich (65) will be the star of the new show How was it, boss? In it, he will not only show the harshest culinary hells from the past. Yes, boss !, but it will also bring evidence that today’s gastronomy is no longer a disgrace. “It is no longer such a thing with Czech gastronomy,” he told eXtra.cz. But it may be disappointing for some that this time they will let others cook for themselves.

Zdeněk Pohlreich: Czech gastronomy has improved rapidly
How was it, boss? is an interesting concept of the show, in which archive footage from the former hellish Czech restaurant kitchens blends with today’s, fine and professional ones. And it has to do with the interest original Yes, boss! until now it evokes in the nation.
“TV Prima keeps playing it around and it seems that viewers are still reacting to it. It even happens that he goes to pubs that had played well on the show. And another five-year-old people have grown up who are already looking at it”Explains the popular interest of people chef Zdeněk Pohlreich.
“I realized it’s been about thirteen years since Yes, boss! started spinning, and gastronomy at this moment looks completely different than it was in the original works of the Boss. It’s actually a cross-section of how it used to be and a comparison to who people cook today. This time we don’t go to bad pubs, on the contrary, guys who do well today cook. We want to document that with Czech gastronomy it is not such a pr * ser“Says Zdeněk for eXtra.cz.
“It simply came to our notice then. We shoot in restaurants that cook a very decent European standard. Even the blind see that pubs are much better today. Because we travel relatively often, my wife and I also observe a lot. I wish everything in the Czech Republic developed as positively as gastronomy. That would be great, “he does not hide his enthusiasm for the changes, on which he himself has a great deal of credit.
Success Yes, boss!
Although he clearly has a share in this, because the popularity of his show has forced diners and business owners to think more about food and cooking, he refuses to credit himself.
“There are probably some bad guys left, but it’s changing. When we started and asked the innkeeper what his concept was, everyone stared at us with their mouths open. Today, without a concept, you can’t think of starting a business in this field at all. I’m not saying everything is flooded with the sun, anymore I do not claim at all that I am responsible for all the positive changes, but the slight above-average gastronomy in the Czech Republic is already easily comparable with the rest of the world at ease.”Says the renowned chef.
This time, however, he will not get to the plates that much. More like almost never.
“I do play on the show, but I’m not cooking this time. I think there is a good space for viewers to see on the screen that others can cook. That’s the main idea for me. Why should I stand there and cook the same recipes again? Let’s take a look at which guys set the tone today. I think it can be quite interesting, “added Zdeněk Pohlreich.
