Wolfgang Puck Profile

Wolfgang Puck is an Austrian-American chef and restaurateur. Before relocating to the United States in 1973, at the age of 24 years old, he received his education as an apprentice under Raymond Thuilier at L’Oustau de Baumanière in Les Baux-de-Provence, at Hôtel de Paris in Monaco, and at Maxim’s Paris. Puck arrived in Los Angeles after working as a chef at the La Tour restaurant in Indianapolis for two years and then relocated there to become a part owner of the Ma Maison restaurant.

In 1982, Wolfgang launched the restaurant Spago on the Sunset Strip. This was after the publication of his first cookbook, Modern French Cooking for the American Kitchen, in 1981. This cookbook was based on the recipes that he had developed for Ma Maison. Puck and Barbara Lazaroff, his ex-wife and business partner at the time, relocated the acclaimed restaurant Spago to Beverly Hills in 1997, fifteen years after the initial transfer. Since 2004, it has been ranked as one of the Top 40 Restaurants in the United States by various publications. According to what was written in The Infatuation, Spago is responsible for making Wolfgang the first (and possibly only) chef that you and your grandmother recognize by name.

Because of his achievements, he was able to establish Wolfgang’s Companies, which consist of the Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group, Wolfgang Puck Worldwide, Inc., and Wolfgang Puck Catering. The Wolfgang Puck Companies are comprised of more than 20 upscale dining establishments that are ranked among the top 40 Restaurants in the United States, premium catering services, more than 80 Wolfgang Puck Express locations, and kitchen and food wares such as cookbooks, canned foods, and coffee products. He has parlayed his fame into acting roles, and his acting credentials include Frasier, a recurring part as himself on Las Vegas, and a cameo appearance in The Weather Man.

He is the official caterer for the Governor’s Ball which is held in conjunction with the Academy Awards. In addition, he made an appearance as himself on the shows Iron Chef America: Battle of the Masters and Cooking Class with Wolfgang, both of which aired on The Food Network. Additionally, he appeared in the season finale of American Idol, in which he provided comedic relief by introducing Kellie Pickler to some unusual foods. On the seventh season of MasterChef, he appeared as a special guest judge. In addition to that, he played a cameo role as himself in an episode of Tales from the Crypt and was featured in a commercial for the state of California that was broadcast on television (along with famous people such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jack Nicholson).

Granita was Puck’s fourth restaurant, and it was a seafood establishment that he opened in Malibu, California, in the year 1991. In 2005, the restaurant ceased operations.

Tribune Content Agency has been responsible for the syndication of Puck’s recipes to publications and websites all around the world since 2003.

Philanthropic work and participation in charitable organizations are both areas in which Wolfgang is active. In 1982, he was one of the co-founders of the Puck-Lazaroff Charitable Foundation. Since its creation, the foundation has helped earn more than $15 million through its sponsorship of the annual American Wine & Food Festival, which donates its proceeds to the organization Meals on Wheels.

Puck serves as the Honorary Chair Chef of the “Five Star Sensation” benefit held in Cleveland, Ohio. This event takes place every two years and contributes to the raising of $10 million in order to support The Ireland Cancer Foundation of University Hospitals.

The house-smoked salmon pizza is one of Wolfgang Puck’s hallmark dishes, and it can be found in his first restaurant, Spago.
