Thomas Bissegger
Chef at The Essence
With a degree as a federally certified chef and a prestigious Michelin star for his former restaurant "1904" Thomas Bissegger's talent shines. But instead of sticking to the usual route of cooking in top restaurants, Thomas focused on competitions, which led to an impressive array of achievements such as being a two-time world champion with the junior national culinary team and winning the Swiss Culinary Cup twice.
He also gained valuable experience from stages abroad, including a two-week stint at the renowned Eleven Madison Park in New York and working with Swiss chef Felix Episser in Burma. With his impressive culinary background, Thomas brings his expertise to EHL Passugg, where he is cherished by students and faculty alike.
