Helmut Zipner

Helmut Zipner is a German chef and the current world record holder in asparagus peeling.

World record

Zipner peeled a full ton of asparagus in 16 hours at the annual Asparagus Festival held in Berlin.[1] This record has earned him the nickname Spargel-Tarzan (Asparagus Tarzan).[2] The record remains unchallenged by competitors outside of Germany's annual festival dedicated to the "Königliches Gemüse", or Royal Vegetable.

Zipner has also become a "TV-Küchenmeister", appearing on several chat shows and cooking programmes.
