In this episode of Building Success Stories, I interviewed Christian Raeth, Owner/Chef, Spargel on Nine, the newest restaurant in Queensbury, New York, which opens on Friday, December 8, 2023.
Raeth started his culinary training with an apprenticeship in his native Germany in 1984 and has worked in some of the top restaurants in Germany, Italy, France, and Switzerland. After an initial stay in the US in the early 1990s, he returned to stay permanently in 2000 and has since worked in a number of the area's top country clubs and restaurants. For the last 13 years, Raeth spent most of his time out of the kitchen, working in sales for Sysco, the world’s largest wholesale food distributor.
Listen to Raeth speak about his experience, his vision for the new restaurant, how he has built an amazing team, and how he is bringing a more authentic, less touristy, German dining experience to Queensbury.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Raeth for an article in the Glens Falls Business Journal: Click here to read the article.
