Cooking with Benjamin

The Benjamin likes to eat, as we know, most likely sugar cubes.
But right at the beginning of the episode we learn that it Benjamin quite lust sometimes for something different and therefore has one of the biggest contradictions of the series its grand entrance. As the narrator in this situation quite correctly says: Elephants eat really only greens and-at least in Benjamin Fall and sugar cubes.
This contradiction emerges in the series every now and again: once Benjamin does not like meat, once he raves about steaks and Co.
In this episode, at least he likes meat and so go Otto and he. In a new fast-food restaurant, where you can experience what it is the point that I feel as the greatest Aufreger result
The revised, bitchy operator wants Benjamin point of the restaurant, but they did not count on Großkotz Otto, the cold calls for the manager.
Let's be honest, a 10-year boy who protested in this way? If the abgucken the small handset Then drink this meal!
Shortly thereafter, at any rate, it was decided to open a restaurant in the zoo, Benjamin wanted to cook there and of course be much more friendly to its guests.
From here you get a really nice episode to hear the charm of the early Benjamin sequences. Once excited by an idea, Benjamin rushes as usual in the preparations and that involves a lively time.
There are some very funny points, for example, as the furniture acquired an advertisement arrive and to be turn out as scrap heap and especially the scene at the butcher when he enumerates his meats: "Pork, beef, veal, lamb , chicken, from Elef ... "macabre but funny!
As might be expected, the restaurant is at the zoo thinking a huge success and we so could result but actually come to an end. But then the company to Benjamin's soft heart threatens to fail, here it is then once again thrilling to peace-joy-pancake-end.

As bitchy operation in fast food restaurant Eva-Maria Werth is heard, which is in many other Benjamin sequences going there. Usually in minor supporting roles, very often as an unnamed person in a crowd Their distinctive voice is heard out everywhere, and also in Benjamin as a chef knows how to convince in their roles.
With Otto Czarski is another Kiosk Original of the party. He speaks the seller in the butcher with a hilarious dry clay.
The woman, the Benjamin eventually owed that his restaurant but not down the drain is, Gerda Glotz on television, spoken by Mary Axe.
Just like the singing teacher Mrs. Diva in Bibi Blocksberg - The bewitched charts, it is also described in this episode Benjamin as very stately lady who one takes her immediately.

The effects me the scene in fast-food restaurant has impressed. What is there in the background listening, which is already very rich by the standards of the series. In the local, it must go as high at this time forth like a children's birthday party at McDonald's.
Otherwise, there are some kitchen noise to hear a truck and at the end and very funny the sound of Benjamin tears.

On the cover of the first edition you can see Benjamin and Otto, as they work in their local and serve the guests, just as it corresponds to the action.
The cover of the second edition is held remarkably sparse, the restaurant no trace. And despite the chef's hat could be at the sight also believe Benjamin cook holding times a day in Mr. Lieb animal kitchen for his friends. On a local there is no indication here.
That has remained even in the current edition so, but to the other extreme. Where Benjamin cooking there? Was the monkey house stone masonry as a medieval castle? Hardly likely! Maybe it's the backdrop of the television studios.

Conclusion: Apart from the weaknesses mentioned here, we have one of the best episodes of the series. As it gets nachzukochen immediately desire to go myself eating a hamburger, or the spaghetti a la Benjamin. Have Fun!
