The Duc Ngo: ‘Kitchen Impossible’ chef finds lost phone via Instagram | Regional

Halle (Saxony-Anhalt) – With 14 restaurants and several TV appearances on cooking shows such as “Kitchen Impossible”, Duc Ngo is one of the best known restaurateurs in Germany. He lost his cell phone on a train ride. The fact that he got it back intact is due to a happy coincidence!

“I just dropped my cell phone on the Halle (Saale) platform when the train left. I’m sitting on the ICE for Berlin! ” he writes him desperately in his story on Instagram. Duc asks for help from his community (82.2 thousand followers): “Who lives near the central station in Halle would be kind enough to pick him up?”

The Vietnam-born star chef (48) apparently had the right instinct for this unusual call for help on Thursday. A follower must have read it, because shortly after Duc Ngo reports to Instagram and gives the green light: “Someone found it and gives it to Mono in Braunschweig!”. Mono is one of 14 restaurants he runs.

The TV chef told BILD: “Someone who knew me must have gone off the rails. At least they knew I have a restaurant in Braunschweig. But unfortunately I don’t know anything about him or her!”

And in fact, the promise was kept and the phone was delivered there intact about two hours later. It is thanks to the stranger that Duc Ngo can be contacted again by telephone.

Unfortunately, he still doesn’t know his rescuer because he hasn’t left any contact. An exciting reward on the way: the chef thanks you personally with an invitation to eat!
