Austria’s sweetest national dish is set to take center stage once again in 2026: Three top chefs will compete against each other in the legendary Kaiserschmarrn Contest. Defending champion Sebastian Frank, a two-star chef at Horváth, aims to defend his title from last year. He’ll be challenged by Nikodemus Berger, a Michelin-starred chef at the Bonvivant Cocktail Bistro and last year’s finalist, as well as by Lucas Huemer, executive chef at the Austrian Embassy in Berlin, who is entering the competition for the first time.
