At 24.5.2017 Tom Heinzle presented his new book “Roast’n Roll Forever” to the gourmet press at 25Hours Hotel in the inner city of Vienna. The presentation was accompanied by a 4 course menu, of course everything prepared at the grill. But as surprise for all of his guests he served only dishes that are not associated with grilling at all.
