 | #1 Zdeněk Pohlreich | "I can imagine two branches of Mama's Burger in Nová Zbrojovka" We couldn't have kicked off the first episode of the fifth season any other way than with a great guest! So we brought in gastro expert Zdeněk Pohlreich, best known for his show "Yes, Chef!" He is behind the creation of Mama's Burger in the basement of our Hrad. In addition to top-class burgers, we also discussed the ability to adapt outside the established tracks, what is most important when opening a gastro operation, what concepts should definitely not be missing in Nová Zbrojovka or where the gastro scene will gradually evolve.

These are the words of a former Czech professional football player who was the first to buy an apartment in Nová Zbrojovka. Since Švanci comes from Židenice, we couldn't have asked for anyone more iconic as the first resident of the growing neighbourhood.
