I 2003 begyndte Gorm Wisweh sin rejse i den kulinariske verden ved at bage pizzaer i sin mors café i Svaneke på Bornholm. I 2008 åbnede han og fem partnere den italienske restaurant Magstræde 16 i København, på Magstræde, hvor han fungerede som køkkenchef. Hans karriere tog en betydelig drejning med grundlæggelsen af Gorm’s Pizza, en pizzarestaurantkæde, der gav ham tilnavnet “Pizzakongen” i de danske medier. Den første Gorm’s restaurant uden for København åbnede i Brandts Klædefabrik i Odense i maj 2017. I 2018 erhvervede Orkla en majoritetsandel på 67% i virksomheden. Efter denne erhvervelse blev åbningen af otte nye restauranter annonceret. Kokken Gorm er også kendt for sine mange publikationer og sine optrædener i mange madlavningsprogrammer.

Journalist, sommelier og dansk tv-stjerne, Morten Brink Iwersen har en enorm passion for vin, som begyndte efter gymnasiet, og førte ham til at arbejde i flere produktionsselskaber. Siden da, sideløbende med sit arbejde som journalist og tv-vært, er al hans fritid blevet dedikeret til vinens verden gennem en bred vifte af oplevelser, herunder import, konferencer og seminarer og selvfølgelig artikler offentliggjort i de vigtigste danske magasiner og aviser (24timer, Nyhedsavisen og Politiken, Gastro). Senest var han medvært på DR2-serien “En skål for Europa?” sammen med tidligere statsminister Anders Fogh Rasmussen. Interessen for vin kom også til udtryk i en nyfortolkning af det gamle danske Stevnsbær, som frugtforskere har kaldt “Nordens Druer”, og siden 2006 har han været medejer af Frederiksdal Kirsebærvin produktionsselskab.

In 2003, Gorm Wisweh began his journey in the culinary world by baking pizzas in his mother’s café in Svaneke, on the island of Bornholm. In 2008, he and five partners opened the Italian restaurant Magstræde 16 in Copenhagen, on Magstræde Street, where he served as head chef. His career took a significant turn with the founding of Gorm’s Pizza, a pizza restaurant chain that earned him the nickname “The Pizza King” (Pizzakongen in Danish) in the Danish media. The first Gorm’s location outside of Copenhagen opened in Brandts Klædefabrik in Odense in May 2017. In 2018, Orkla acquired a 67% majority stake in the company.
