It was not easy! For a while, I was even desperate; déjà vu crept up on me as I went through one deluxe offering after another, all Wof which pleased me well, but did not move me. Until I met a remarkable couple, Georges and Andrea Wenger, who in 1981 turned an old restaurant – it looked like it was still in 1904 – into one of the grand tables of Switzerland (see Longhaul Switzerland, pages 52-54). I did not expect to see the Wengers when I visited their establishment in Noirmont, in the Swiss Jura. By now, three decades after their toil-and-strug- gle story of making it big, the Wengers have earned their stripes to let their name and an entourage of workers do the talking. He, after all, is a celebrated chef with two Michelin stars, and a grand chef of Relais & Châteaux. Rich city folks and CEOs don’t mind travelling two hours from Zurich, Bern, Basel, Geneva, etc, just to eat at Georges Wenger. But there was Andrea Wenger herself, welcoming me personally. Through- out the seven-course dinner, she never left the dining room, standing three to four hours in doing the rounds from table to table to chat with guests, as per- fect hosts do. Georges Wenger, needless to say, was in the kitchen preparing dinner himself, and he wasn’t too grand to come out and serve some plates. I peered into the face of a chef turning 60 years next year, the lines showing all the hard work, yet there was fire in the eyes and when he spoke, you knew theres still a lot of fire in the belly and humility in the heart, despite the long hours and the long years. he engers are authentic to themselves first. hey bring meaning to luxury by understanding what they do best and loving what they do, which is what guests will feel and enjoy ultimately. In contrast, in our competitive industry, many lose the plot by doing what they think others love or will love, which is a good recipe to leave guests cold – and longing for meaning.
