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.

Don't go and cook Indian food if you never cooked Indian food, you know?

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.

Image
A lot of restaurants serve good food, but they don't have very good service.
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.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
The most important thing for me is to really buy the best ingredient.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
I want to help build their basic food terminology.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
The usage of proper salt is really just a small piece of education. However, I want people to really get the proper nutrition from food for them and their family.
Wolfgang Puck

I think I generally try to buy the best quality and keep it simple. I don't try to make too many decorations, too many things with it.
