After graduating from high school, Römer learned the editing profession at General-Anzeiger Wuppertal and initially specialized in the subjects of engines and traffic.

From 1981 to 1997 he designed the magazine markt +wirtschaft on behalf of the Cologne Chamber of Commerce and Industry , which he expanded into a highly regarded regional business magazine . Part of the new concept was a “restaurant tip” on the last page of the magazine, which is still published today and which laid the foundation for his work as a restaurant critic.
From 1984 to 1992 his press office acted as the external press office of the Hotel and Restaurant Association of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Cologne Brewery Association with the beer type Kölsch , especially with the announcement of the Kölsch Convention .

He first processed the experience he gained in 1989 in a regional restaurant guide, which is updated every year and was published in the 25th edition for 2014. From 2015 the restaurant guide will only appear online. Römer is a member of the Food Editors Club Germany eV He lives and works in Cologne and on the Chiemsee .
