About Oliver Lange  

Chef Lange was born in Berlin, where he developed his passion for cooking at a young age. After studying the art of Japanese cuisine, he caught the attention of star chef Mario Lohninger and honed his sushi skills, collaborating to earn a Michelin star for Silk restaurant in Frankfurt, Germany.

In 2009, after winning the German reality cooking show, “Restaurant sucht Chef,” Lange opened his own temporary restaurant to critical acclaim, receiving 14 Gault Millau points before winning the title of “best innovative and creative sushi” in Germany from Guide Michelin 2011. With his own catering and hospitality company, “Kokoro,” Chef Lange garnered critical acclaim throughout Europe and the Americas and went on to become corporate executive chef for Zuma United States. His work is driven by a continuous search for new inspiration, creativity, teamwork, and “Kokoro” (Japanese for the heart, mind, and spirit), which was a natural fit for the Wegmans sushi team.
