Star chef Reinhard Gerer died just a few days before his 70th birthday. Corresponding media reports were confirmed by the APA on Thursday in the gastronomy guide Gault&Millau. The restaurateur celebrated his greatest successes in the 1990s and 2000s with the Vienna Korso at the State Opera. Turbulent and economically difficult times followed for Gerer until the end. Next week (April 12) the native of Styria would have been 70 years old.
