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
Image
For me, cooking is an expression of the land where you are and the culture of that place.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
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.

It is so nice to talk to someone that has a passion for food and family.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
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.

You can eat an omelet at midnight, at lunchtime, all day long. It's perfect for every occasion.

I grew up so poor in Austria that we never took a vacation with my family.

Image
I like the Japanese knives, I like French knives. Whatever's sharp.

A chef is a mixture maybe of artistry and craft. You have to learn the craft really to get there.

Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
One of the things I've found now, not just for television, but in the restaurant, is that you have many anxious chefs, who know how to cook twenty recipes really well, but they don't have a good foundation for other things.

Image
Italian food is all about ingredients and it's not fussy and it's not fancy.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
It was a revolution, but now it is an evolution. People know more ingredients, people know more techniques, and people look for more ingredients they've never looked for before. In the '80s, you couldn't find raw tuna in any restaurant that wasn't Japanese. Now, you can't find any restaurant without it or sashimi.

Young people want to be famous before they know how to cook, before they know how to treat people, before they know what hospitality means. I stayed in France for seven years and Austria for three, so before I was a chef anywhere I was already cooking for 10 years.

The food could taste amazing however, if you present a plate of misfortunate looking food...you would really question yourself about whether or not you should eat it.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
I tell everybody the same thing: You have to make every dish so when you taste it, you should remember it when you go home.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
I fell in love with food because of my mother. So, I will definitely be sharing and expanding more recipes from my culture (as well as many other cultures), and will be sharing recipes that I have experienced from my whole culinary life.

There's a lot of processed food in America and I know that can make some tourists who're used to fresh food feel sick.

I really love Paris. It's my favorite city.

A lot of chefs are traditional and do it very well. But the ones who are the most successful are the ones who change things. That is why someone like Heston Blumenthal is a genius.
