Standing out There were times when you didn't encounter older women in advertising. They only made it to the big screen as successful actresses - albeit in limited numbers. That's a thing of the past. Today, seniors are generally considered trendy, in and integrated. A social evolution that is also reflected in advertising, as the examples of Moschino or Benetton make clear. However, whether it is always necessary to look behind the scenes or under the skirt...well, sometimes it is better to show only the traces that the years have left on the face and not also on the body. Because with these perspectives one wishes the old order back again, in which not everything had to be shown. Chandra Kurt [email protected]
Business Lunch Sometimes it's really nicer outside than inside
In life, you have to make a choice: Either you become an art critic or you criticize the art of preparing dishes with food. In both cases, a bit of craftsmanship is still required. Yes, should restaurants now also be judged on the basis of the artistry of their owners? That's all that's missing.
In Taggenberg, at any rate, the artistic mind has not gone far: The already unadorned farmhouse parlor above Winterthur, with its splendid panoramic view of the calming greenery, has its walls covered with pictures. They are reminiscent of an American artist who is said to have gone to mass on Sundays in the middle of Manhattan to get ready for work at the Factory. Yes, Andy would certainly have liked Taggenberg - but it would probably never have occurred to him to see his pictures hanging there.
The culinary offer is presented verbally. The service lady articulates the offer loudly and clearly. So come to the table: a salad composition piled to the timbale - lovely. A grilled tuna on vongole with a nice tart tomato. It goes great with the well-behaved fish. For the main course: suckling pig with morels, rich sauce, vegetables, chopped stuff like it is common today in the upscale gastronomy. Looks appetizing and tastes the same. Admittedly, in my case, the small cartilage and knuckles could have been left out of the suckling pig. But that's not so bad. Instead, the shallot confit was missing from the plate. Too bad, I really missed it. The dessert was fine, but not exciting at the end. It was something with strawberries.
Why already forgotten? I was annoyed by two bartenders who were incessantly tooting into their cell phones and drinking expensive wine in between - to hell with these cell phones in such a beautiful place; and if the breeze hadn't been blowing, I would have moved to the garden. A jewel it is.
Few open wines on tap, the menu presented in a shabby plastic folder. That does not fit. Neither to the style of the house (which should not be measured by the walls) nor to the prices. All in all, the lunch with a half pint of white wine cost 170 francs for two people. Attention: Closed on Monday and Tuesday. Many parking spaces around the house. Carlo Bernasconi [email protected]

Column Causa Köppel
By Dominik Imseng
The spectrum ranges from "right-wing extremist" to "right-wing conservative" to "neurecht" in the sense of the Nouvelle Droite: Roger Köppel has indeed had to put up with a lot, and not just since his appointment as Weltwoche editor-in-chief.
Wrongly.
Certainly (1): Köppel is neoliberal to such an extent that he almost represents a type in the Balzacian sense. He is said to have begun a dismissal interview with the words "Bad news for you. At least the journalist in question will be able to say that a talented copywriter put him out on the street.
Certainly (2): Köppel is uncivil. And that in so far as he is given measure and value,
the foundations of petty bourgeois solidity. No mediocrity! No pressure to reach a consensus! "Radicalize life!" is instead his slogan: "Dance on the volcano!"
Certainly (3): Köppel could also be called von Rundstedt. "I tell my people: Keep calm, wait and see, stay together," the desk general was quoted as saying during the turbulence in the wake of Ringier's takeover plans. And he revealed to the weekly newspaper Die Zeit: "Actually, when I come into the editorial office, they should play the Darth Vader march."
A Rastignac of flexible capitalism, then. A war volunteer of the total magazine.
Nevertheless, it is precisely he who is committed to the project of enlightenment, who so brilliantly robs us of all illusions. Who objects to the ordered or perhaps only thoughtless habituation to the "self-evident". Whose political intelligence does not permit left-right radicalism.
In short, Roger Köppel is one of the brightest minds in the German-speaking world, and a superior stylist to boot. Let's take care of him. He'll be editor-in-chief of Der Spiegel soon enough. [email protected] Dominik Imseng is a copywriter at Jung von Matt/Limmat.
