Walter Kruspel has been running his café for exactly 40 years. Cafetier legend Leopold Hawelka, who already celebrated the 66-year-old’s birthday, is enthroned as a work of art in front of his house in Mistelbach. As a gastro professional, Kruspel provides insight into the scene, explaining the change in the industry and why his award-winning chefs also had to lend a hand with the dishes.
“Only those who can look behind the scenes have an idea of what is really happening here at the moment”: Walter Kruspel from Mistelbach speaks plainly. Exactly 40 years ago, the industry legend bought Café Harlekin and turned it into a cultural institution. He knows what he is talking about: gastronomy is in the midst of a radical change that is driving culture and tradition to its knees.
