Jumeirah Frankfurt Announces Martin Steiner as Executive Chef

Jumeirah Frankfurt has announced the appointment of Martin Steiner as executive chef.

2011-06-09

HESSE, GERMANY, June 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) Jumeirah, the Dubai-based luxury hospitality group, has announced it will be opening its first property in mainland Europe, Jumeirah Frankfurt. The property will be welcoming its first guest in August, while the Grand Opening is scheduled for September.

One of the main goals of Dagmar Woodward, general manager of Jumeirah Frankfurt, is to turn the hotel into a gastronomical destination. With the appointment of Martin Steiner as executive chef, this dream is becoming a reality and the Austrian national will soon enrich Frankfurt's culinary scene thanks to the hotel's signature restaurant, "Max on One".

After having completed a professional chef apprenticeship in his home town in Austria, Martin Steiner started his career in Germany, where he worked at the Stromburg for two years. He soon moved on to work for luxury hospitality brands such as Relais & Chateau, Savoy and Kempinski. 12 years after his time at the Stromburg, celebrity chef Johann Lafer remembered the talent and commitment of the young chef and brought him back into his team in 2008 to head the Michelin starred gourmet restaurant Val D'Or.

For his latest challenge, the 32-year old will be supported by a superb group of colleagues in a stunning restaurant, designed by leading Japanese designer Takashi Sugimoto and his team at Super Potato. "Max On One" is divided into an open kitchen, a private dining area, two walk-in wine cubes and a steakhouse front-grill, creating a contemporary, urban atmosphere in the centre of Frankfurt. The restaurant name highlights the cultural connection to Emperor Maximilian I. (Max). The founder of the German postal system worked closely with the Thurn und Taxis family, who later established their headquarters at the Thurn und Taxis Palais, adjacent to the hotel. "On One" indicates the location of the restaurant on the first floor.

Chef Martin Steiner puts a strong emphasis on the creative reinterpretation of regional dishes while incorporating Austrian influences. The menu reads imaginative creations such as "apple wine-risotto" with poached char and horse radish foam or grilled zander in pepper sauce and roasted gnocchi, "ahle wurscht" and caraway foam.

Next to "Max On One", the hotel in central Frankfurt features a vibrant cafe, evoking the charme of Paris' elegant bistros. With direct access to the shopping mall MyZeil, it is open throughout the day and offers light snacks, fine pastries as well as champagne and selected wines to cater to Frankfurt's metropolitan crowd.

The 5 star hotel in Frankfurt features a lobby bar on the ground floor which invites hotel guests and locals to spend some time in a relaxed atmosphere. For more exclusive events, conferences and meetings as well as private celebrations, a separate floor and dedicated event managers are on hand. The venues on the third floor cover a total area of 730 m2 and include an impressive ballroom featuring a ceiling with more than 100,000 crystals and a panoramic view of the Frankfurt skyline.

No such thing as a red or blue state

2011-06-09

Take a random person from a so-called "red state," and the odds are nearly 50/50 that he or she would actually be more liberal on political issues than a random resident of a "blue state." More specifically, the chances of any one red state citizen scoring more liberal than a blue state citizen are 46 percent on economic issues and 51 percent on social issues. The research, conducted by political scientists at the University of Pennsylvania and Brigham Young University, paints an entirely different picture of American politics than the popular narrative of a polarized ...

2011-06-09

Small, healthy lifestyle changes and involvement in meaningful activities—going beyond just diet and exercise—are critical to healthy aging, according to a new USC study.

Digital democracy? Study finds elite viewpoints dominate online content

2011-06-09

Anyone with Internet access can generate online content and influence public opinion, according to popular belief. But a new study from the University of California, Berkeley, suggests that the social Web is becoming more of a playground for the affluent than a digital democracy. Despite the proliferation of social media – with Twitter and Facebook touted as playing pivotal roles in such pro-democracy movements as the Arab Spring – the bulk of today's blogs, websites and video-sharing sites represent the perspectives of college-educated, Web 2.0-savvy users, the study ...

Adjuvant combo shows potential for universal influenza vaccine

2011-06-09

Researchers at National Jewish Health have discovered how to prime a second arm of the immune system to potentially boost influenza vaccine effectiveness. A combination of two adjuvants, chemicals used to boost the effectiveness of some vaccines, induced CD8, or killer, T cells to join antibodies in response to influenza infection. Since the killer T cells targeted a highly conserved protein that does not change from year to year, the adjuvant strategy suggests potential for a universal flu vaccine. "Most vaccines protect against disease by boosting antibody protection," ...

Sweeping studies vindicate genetic theory of autism

2011-06-09

With autism affecting close to one percent of children in the U.S., the urgency to find some sort of explanation for the disorder has never been greater. This week, three studies published in the 9 June issue of Neuron offer a definitive vindication of the theory that spontaneous, or de novo, genetic mutations underlie the development of autism in many families with no history of the disorder. Two of the new papers, independent microarray studies of unprecedented scale, point to an array of genetic variants that are likely to increase the risk of developing an autism ...

Moderate to intense exercise may protect the brain

2011-06-09

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Older people who regularly exercise at a moderate to intense level may be less likely to develop the small brain lesions, sometimes referred to as "silent strokes," that are the first sign of cerebrovascular disease, according to a new study published in the June 8, 2011, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). "These 'silent strokes' are more significant than the name implies, because they have been associated with an increased risk of falls and impaired mobility, memory problems and even dementia, ...
