TV chef takes out weird insurance policy: “Basic for me”

Guitarists need their fingers, models need their feet: sometimes it’s physical characteristics that determine the success of their career – and that require insurance coverage. This is also the case with star chef Tim Raue.

The 50-year-old has insured his capital – namely his nose and tongue. “The senses of taste and smell are fundamental to me. And yes: I have insured both,” said the star chef in an interview with the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung”. “However, it is still an uncertain area. If something were to happen to me, it would be difficult to prove that the insured event occurred.”

Not the only one with such body part insurance. Many star musicians are said to have a policy for their guitar playing hands.

However, Raue has refrained from insuring his hands. “I can delegate the turbot and I don’t have to fill the turbot myself. In my case, the most important thing is not to cook anymore,” said the star chef from Berlin. (dpa/mp)
