Closing time my ass! Fortunately, the Nabegger landlord family in the Mostviertel region did not have to search long for a successor for their inn. Son Christian (26) is now taking over the reins in the kitchen.

Good news in times of dying inns comes from the municipality of Bergland in the district of Melk. Because here, at Gasthof Plaikawirt to be precise, they are not thinking of giving up. At just 26 years old, Christian Nabegger has now taken over his parents' business. And the senior bosses Ewa and Wolfgang are naturally delighted about this: "After all, our family has been running the inn for several generations!"

Famous fried chicken
The son doesn't want to break with this long tradition. On the contrary: "With us, you can still experience pub culture as it lives and breathes," says the new landlord, relying on the recipe for success with regional ingredients and a seasonal menu. Why? "Because it simply tastes better," laughs Christian. And disappears back into the kitchen to conjure up the fried chicken that is so popular with guests from near and far.
