The German television network VOX has scheduled several cooking programs for broadcast and streaming in August 2026. Featured programming includes the ninth season of the summer specials of ‘Grill den Henssler,’ hosted by Steffen Henssler and moderated by Laura Wontorra. These six outdoor episodes, filmed at the Seebühne in Elbauenpark, Magdeburg, are scheduled to run weekly on Sundays at 20:15 from 23 August 2026 until 27 September 2026. Celebrity guests competing against Henssler include Gustav Schäfer, Isi Glück, Markus Rühl, Carola Holzner, and Tony Bauer. The episodes feature a jury consisting of Alexander Herrmann, Jana Ina Zarrella, and Joachim Llambi, and will be available on the RTL+ streaming platform. Promotional material for the series includes jury member Alexander Herrmann teasing Henssler, remarking that a grilled cheese sandwich looked ‘as if it had been run over.’ By its second week of broadcast, ‘Grill den Henssler Sommer-Special’ achieved significant viewership success, securing a 9.1 percent market share among viewers aged 14 to 59 and a 10.4 percent share in the 14 to 49 demographic. During a ‘Coach Special’ episode involving contestants Ralf Zacherl and Max Stiegl, Henssler shared a personal childhood fear regarding saunas, explaining that he avoids public saunas due to a fear of being trapped inside. This topic was raised during a segment involving Szechuan pepper. In a subsequent episode, comedian Mario Barth participated in the competition, humorously referencing his educational background during a segment involving watermelon rolling. During the recordings, Henssler’s childhood fear of being trapped in saunas was revisited, prompted by flavors in a dish prepared by Lucki Maurer. Regarding the show’s participation, Steffen Henssler has noted that some professional chefs decline invitations to appear due to concerns that losing a competition might negatively impact their professional reputation. ~~Henssler emphasized that the program is intended for entertainment and fun, noting that losing does not diminish a chef’s actual ability.~~
