Life

Müller was born on February 13, 1979, as Nelson Nutakor. He is the son of Ghanaian parents. He came to Germany as a toddler, grew up in a German foster family in Stuttgart-Plieningen and attended a Realschule in Filderstadt-Bernhausen.[1][2] He initially used the family name of his foster parents "Müller" as an artist name. In February 2013 he was adopted by his foster parents and officially took the surname.[3] He maintains contact with his biological parents, who meanwhile live in London.[4]

After training as a cook at the Fissler Post in Stuttgart-Plieningen[5] and in Veneto under Holger Bodendorf in Wenningstedt on Sylt, Müller worked in the starred restaurants Résidence by Henri Bach in Essen and the orangery by Lutz Niemann in the Maritim Hotel Timmendorfer Strand. Since September 2009 he has been the owner of the Schote restaurant in Essen, which was awarded a star by the Michelin Guide in November 2011.[6] In addition, since the beginning of 2014 he has been running Brasserie Müllers auf der Rü at Essen's Rüttenscheider Stern with specialties from the Ruhr area.[7] He gave up the Wallberg restaurant in Saalbau Essen in March 2015 after six months.[8] The Schote restaurant moved to a new location at the end of May. In June 2020, Müller also opened the Müller's Brasserie at the Burg in the Hotel Burg Schwarzenstein in Geisenheim, Hesse.[9]
