New gastronomy duo in Gmünd: from smoke-catchpots to music restaurant!

There are exciting news in the Gmünd shopping mile: The café "Espresso & Music" has new operators! Thomas Ableiding and his wife Katja, experienced chimney sweepers from Litschau, take over the popular restaurant. This exciting development comes because the couple wants to expand their business area. As a trained chimney sweeper, Thomas has already worked as a DJ and has valuable experience from the music scene, which gives hope for a successful connection between gastronomy and entertainment, as the local newspaper Noen reported.

But there is not only new things in the catering sector: Thomas Spitzer, the legendary musician, known as the head of the band, first general uncertainty (EAV), looks back on an extraordinary career. Born in Graz, he made a name for himself not only as a musician, but also as a graphic designer. With the EAV, he celebrated numerous successes, including hits such as "BA-BA bank robbery". Spitzer, whose musical journey began with the establishment of the EAV in the 1970s, made himself immortal with its unique humor and ironic texts. Even after the band was dissolved in 2019, Spitzer will be active in the music scene and recently caused a sensation with the song "Against the Wind". According to his biography on Wikipedia, Spitzer is also known for his artistic work in graphics and painting, which he developed in parallel to his music career.

The symbiosis of music and gastronomy

The connection between the new café owner and Spitzer could not be more suitable. While Ableidinger drives his gastronomy career ahead, Spitzer remains an important figure in the music landscape of Austria. The takeover of the café could offer Thomas and Katja Ableidinger the opportunity to combine cultural events and attract a new audience, similar to how Spitzer often did with the EAV. Noen reported on the commitment of the new operators who want to ensure a fresh wind in the catering trade, while Spitzer continues to achieve the hearts of people with his musical experiences, as his numerous successes show.
