Head chef Thomas Martin celebrates his anniversary

Thomas Martin has been at the helm of Jacobs Restaurant’s kitchen since 1997 and has, ever since, shaped the culinary soul of Louis C. Jacob like no other. In 2027, he will celebrate his 30th anniversary as head chef on the banks of the Elbe: three decades of precision, passion and a signature style that is renowned far beyond the borders of Hamburg.

In 2011, his culinary art was recognised for the first time with two Michelin stars – the restaurant held this accolade for ten years. But Thomas Martin is more than just an award-winning chef: as a judge on the cooking show “Die Küchenschlacht”, he has been delighting a wide audience since 2017, whilst on Instagram he takes his followers into his kitchen with easy-to-follow cooking videos. In 2021, “Der Feinschmecker” named him one of the most influential figures in the culinary scene.

What has set him apart all these years remains the same: a cuisine that is precise, clear and full of flavour – inspired by regional ingredients, a passion for his craft and the rhythm of the River Elbe.
