Who we are

The Food Experts Group FEG GmbH is a company with flat hierarchies, without rigid rules and with lean processes. The heart and head of our team is Patrik Jaroš, Germany's youngest star chef in 1994 and Bocuse d'Or Bronze winner in 1995. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrik_Jaros

He brings 30 years of experience from the upscale hotel industry and star gastronomy (Eckart Witzigmann's Aubergine in Munich, among others) as well as an international network to your project and is always there for you as a permanent contact person.

We also offer you this continuity through our interdisciplinary basic team: a group of creatives, F&B specialists, shop fitters, architects and interior designers, designers, marketing experts, financial experts and controllers, as well as IT professionals, where everyone can rely on the strengths of the others. That's exactly why we enjoy working together so much. And you can see that in our work!

We strengthen the team from our pool of external employees and with our cooperation partners according to the requirements of your project.

Our network

Our different projects, our openness and curiosity have led us to expand our network far beyond the culinary arts. Therefore, we work for and together with partners from the following areas:

Food Industry • Retail • Cash & Carry • Shopping Malls • Project Development • Media Houses • Communication Agencies • Automotive • Airline Catering • F&B Start Ups • Art • IT • Investors

Bocuse d'Or

Patrik Jaros placed on the podium in 1995 and won the bronze title. Since then he has been part of the Bocuse d'Or Winners Academy. In 2009, he took over the presidency of Bocuse d'Or Germany.

 

Bocuse d'Or is the world's most prestigious cooking competition with participants from 67 countries. It has since served as an international stage for culinary trends and an important indicator of innovation. An event where the opinion leaders of the gastronomic world and top chefs come together to exchange ideas and choose the most innovative and best chef in the world.
