Horst Lichter: Does cooking come back with Johann Lafer?

Horst Lichter, the well-known moderator of the popular ZDF program "Bares for Rares", has recently given his television viewers exciting insights into his career. While he is known for his humorous presentation style, it is less known that he started his career as a television chef. Together with his Austrian colleague Johann Lafer, he formed an unmistakable duo that in the cooking show "Lafer! Lights! Delicious!" celebrated great success between 2006 and 2017.

In the current discussion about his comeback in the world of cooking show, Lichter emphasizes that the decision to end his career as a cook was more far than many think. In an interview, he noticed: "What many may not know is that at that time I not only stopped with 'Lafer! Lights! Delicious!', But in parallel with five television programs." This clarifies that his decision was driven by internal considerations and the feeling of having found the right time for changes.

Review of the program

Although Lichter's departure from cooking on TV took place a few years ago, the question of a return to the cooking programs remains relevant. He explains to the background that Lafer also had many obligations during her time together and "was also much busy". Despite the termination of their work together, both show that they are looking for and take a look back on their great time.

The chemistry between lights and Lafer, which is still active in the cooking area - including a new program on Sat.1 in 2024 - gives many fans hope that they could soon be seen as a team in front of the camera. But Horst Lichter's view of today's cooking show landscape is clear: "In the meantime everyone cooks-and it only gets louder and crazy. I'm out of that." His decision to leave the cooking programs behind is closely related to the development of the format on television, which in his opinion has changed significantly.

a possible return?

Despite his skepticism, Lichter does not completely rule out a return to the cooking business. He commented on: "If someone should come up with a really good concept for a cooking show today, I would probably rethink it again." This leaves space for speculation about the possibility of a comeback if the right offer results. Until then, he remains true to the spectators in a different way by continuing to maintain them in the flea show "Bares for Rares".

A look at his personal side shows that Horst Lichter has a great passion for travel. He prefers to explore Europe on his classic car motorcycle. He recently celebrated her 15th anniversary with his wife Nada. Despite his successful career, Lichter also seems to have found happiness in private life. He confessed that her relationship began anything but romantic, which shows another interesting aspect of his multifaceted personality.

The audience can be happy, because "BARES FOR RARES" will even be broadcast on Christmas Eve in 2024 with a special Christmas event. In this festive Prime Time show, lights will continue to inspire the viewers with the unique treasures of the flea candidates.

Overall, it remains to be seen whether the doors open for a comeback from lights and lafers in the world of cooking show. Until then, Horst Lichter remains a fixture on German television and shows that it can shine in different formats.
