Author name: Chef Karl Wilder

Chef Karl Wilder is a culinary innovator whose career spans continents and cuisines. From his roots in New Orleans, where he reimagined Southern classics at The Country Club, to launching the acclaimed Empire Biscuit in New York City, Wilder has consistently pushed the boundaries of traditional cooking. Previously, with both Eating Europe and Secret Food tours, he, along with PJ, set out to redefine what food tourism means. His passion for authentic, immersive food experiences led him to co-found The Chef Tours, offering intimate culinary journeys in cities like Paris, Seville, Istanbul and Berlin. In Berlin, his tours blend historical exploration with gourmet dining, reinventing food tourism. Beyond the kitchen, Wilder is an advocate for food accessibility, having undertaken a project to live on a food stamp budget to raise awareness about food insecurity. He's also an author, with his novel It's Not Always Murder published in 2024, You Can Get A Man With A Gun published in 2025, both by Vintage Pulp Press. Based in Berlin, Chef Karl Wilder continues to craft experiences that are as rich in story as they are in flavour, inviting travellers to taste the world through his unique lens. He is the proud human father of Milou, the company mascot.
