HEAD COOK: Olaf Oldenburg
COMPETITION: World Burger Championship
QUALIFYING EVENT: World Burger Championship
My name is Olaf Oldenburg 48 and together with my business partner Pim de Lange 29 we started in January 2014 Ter Marsch & Co. My expertise is the culinary input and Pim is the creative business developer of Ter Marsch & Co. At an early age I started cooking at home by making the most beautiful breakfasts for the family. When I was 11 years old I started as a dishwasher in a neighborhood restaurant. The cooks asked me to help them a little bit here and a little bit there, and accordinly the passion for cooking was born. Afterwards, it became more and more professional because I got got in touch with some grand masters and learned how to bring flavors to a "higher level.” During my career I've worked in multiple Michelin star restaurants in the Netherlands but also abroad and lived for a longer period in Spain. At the moment I works in Ter Marsch & Co and on the background me and Pim are thinking of opening a new kind of restaurant.
