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

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
Stay away from iodized table salt. It's just bad and doesn't help food taste good.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
My passion for writing cookbooks really came from my love of collecting cookbooks.

It's easier being a judge than a competitor. As a judge, you don't have any risks. That makes it much more enjoyable.

I learn more from the one restaurant that didn't work than from all the ones that were successes.

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.

I would say that I mostly use Kosher Salt for seasoning my water and flour. I love sea salt, too. I think both are just fine, as long as it's not iodized salt.

When you meet someone, ask about what hobby they have, not what they do. People always ask me about cooking, but I prefer to talk about tennis or boxing.

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.

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

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?

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

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
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.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
There is no value with just one restaurant or with one person. The brand has to be bigger than the person.
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.

I left school when I was 14 to work in kitchens.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
What I don't like is breakfast in the morning. I have a double-espresso cappuccino, but no food.

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.
