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?

More quotes by Wolfgang Puck
I left school when I was 14 to work in kitchens.
Wolfgang Puck
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.
Wolfgang Puck
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
I like the Japanese knives, I like French knives. Whatever's sharp.
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
The only way to teach people how to truly do it and do it the right way, is to get those ingredients and kitchen tools in front of them and in their hands to use.
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
I want to teach people how to do it the right way. And it is from that they can teach their children how to do it properly. It will teach them how to cook better and healthier at home.
Wolfgang Puck
I learn more from the one restaurant that didn't work than from all the ones that were successes.
Wolfgang Puck
New Yorkers think they have everything, all the best art and music. But really L.A. is a better place.
Wolfgang Puck
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.
Wolfgang Puck
I really love Paris. It's my favorite city.
Wolfgang Puck
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.
Wolfgang Puck
Omelets are about technique. Now, different people make it different ways, but, if you're a chef in Europe, an omelet has to be cooked on the outside, with just a simmer of color, and the inside has to be soft. It should be cooked like a steak - medium rare.
Wolfgang Puck
A lot of restaurants serve good food, but they don't have very good service.
Wolfgang Puck
There is no value with just one restaurant or with one person. The brand has to be bigger than the person.
Wolfgang Puck
What I don't like is breakfast in the morning. I have a double-espresso cappuccino, but no food.
Wolfgang Puck
I like to be firm. But it is easier to be nice than to be nasty.
Wolfgang Puck
I grew up so poor in Austria that we never took a vacation with my family.
Wolfgang Puck
Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network. When I opened Spago, I had the kitchen in the dining hall. It was probably the first restaurant to do so. The dining scene became more casual. All these cooking shows have transformed our profession one-hundred percent.
