Klaus Glaetzner - KLAUS GRILLT - Der BB RADIO Mitternachtstalk Podcast

When he fires up his grill, hundreds of thousands click "Play." My guest today on the BB RADIO Midnight Talk Podcast has built a real success story from a simple passion. And not in some fancy TV kitchen in a trendy metropolis, but in the relaxed setting of Bad Freienwalde in Brandenburg. There, in his garden, stand around 20 grills. Some almost as big as a small car. That's exactly where the videos for "Klaus Grills" are filmed. Today, the man behind it all is with me: Klaus Glaetzner. Almost half a million people have subscribed to his YouTube channel. Some of his videos reach well over a million views. The crazy thing is: it all seems completely uncomplicated. Camera on. Meat on the grill. Let's go. No elaborate script, no artificial show. Klaus grills, his wife films. That's it. Klaus really grills everything: From Oreo ice cream burgers to a shake-and-bake pizza cooked on a plancha to a €500 Kobe Wagyu entrecôte from Japan. Maybe that's exactly why people love him. Because nothing about him seems pretentious. No glossy TV, no affected mannerisms. Instead, honest humor, straightforwardness, and that typically down-to-earth attitude that you just can't fake. He's been doing this for about eleven years. And what started as a hobby is now a full-time job. One that involves considerably more work than just throwing a few steaks on the grill. Planning and editing videos, managing social media, organizing collaborations, answering comments, coordinating employees, bureaucracy, and taxes. A mix of entrepreneur and grill master. Despite all this, Klaus has maintained his relaxed demeanor. He's someone who just gets things done. With dry humor, a clear stance, and a good dose of Brandenburg. Exactly the kind of guy you'd want to spend a barbecue with right away. He's even touring now. With his show, "KLAUS GRILLS - The Totally Incorrect Barbecue Show Without a Barbecue!", he brings his stories to the stage. He'll be coming to our region of Berlin/Brandenburg in 2027. It's all about barbecue myths, discussions around the grill, curious experiences, and those legendary evenings that probably every one of you has experienced. But it wasn't always like this. Only in recent years has he become more forthcoming. As he himself says, he probably would have turned down a podcast about his own story in the past, especially with a platform like ours. That's why, as a "Klaus Grills" fan, I'm especially excited to finally welcome the man behind it all and hear his story with you. How he built one of Germany's most well-known barbecue brands on a New Year's Eve whim. And why, despite his success on YouTube and millions of clicks, he's simply remained Klaus to this day. Get ready for a truly honest, funny, and very relaxed chat.
