More quotes by Wolfgang Puck
Now everybody thinks that once you do Top Chef, then 13 weeks later you're a chef. Nobody wants to learn to cook anymore.
Wolfgang Puck
I grew up in Austria, and for me real comfort food is Wiener Schnitzel. Wiener Schnitzel and mashed potatoes because it reminds me of my youth... It reminds me when I grow up and it feels very comforting.
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
New Yorkers think they have everything, all the best art and music. But really L.A. is a better place.
Wolfgang Puck
I left school when I was 14 to work in kitchens.
Wolfgang Puck
For me, cooking is an expression of the land where you are and the culture of that place.
Wolfgang Puck
Restaurants are like having children: its fun to make them, maybe, but then you have them for good and bad. You are going to have to raise them and if something goes wrong when they are 30 years old, they will still be your little boy.
Wolfgang Puck
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.
Wolfgang Puck
What I don't like is breakfast in the morning. I have a double-espresso cappuccino, but no food.
Wolfgang Puck
I have two young boys, and my wife is at home. Most of the time, I will cook the food, and we'll eat together.
Wolfgang Puck
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.
Wolfgang Puck
I learn more from the one restaurant that didn't work than from all the ones that were successes.
Wolfgang Puck
It's an interesting thing, Top Chef. Some of the contestants will make you one great dish, and then make you something on the next show that will make you say, Is that the same person?
Wolfgang Puck
I like the Japanese knives, I like French knives. Whatever's sharp.
Wolfgang Puck
Food television opened the eyes, and palates, of our guests. They became more adventurous.
Wolfgang Puck
I want to give people a basic education, and to help them think for themselves when it comes to food.
Wolfgang Puck
The most important thing for me is to really buy the best ingredient.
Wolfgang Puck
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.
Wolfgang Puck
To me, an airplane is a great place to diet.
Wolfgang Puck
Don't go and cook Indian food if you never cooked Indian food, you know?
