Wolfgang Puck
Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network.

Wolfgang Puck
A good chef has to be a manager, a businessman and a great cook. To marry all three together is sometimes difficult.
Wolfgang Puck
For me, I don't expect to have a really amazing meal each time I dine out. Having a good meal with your loved ones - that's what makes the experience.
Wolfgang Puck
For example, you can eat a Caesar salad and say, Wow, I ate so healthy today. You forget there was a quarter-cup of oil in there, and all the calories are from fat. So it's better if you eat a grilled chicken breast, some steamed brown rice, and a little salad with balsamic vinegar on top.
Wolfgang Puck
Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors - it's how you combine them that sets you apart.
Wolfgang Puck
I believe that London is the most exciting food city in Europe.
Wolfgang Puck
I won't quit my day job. I like restaurants. I don't do a lot of television, either, even though people come to me with projects all the time. I have to spend time in the kitchen.
Wolfgang Puck
