Pay attention to the fact that when Wolfgang cooks, there aren't a lot of ingredients in the dishes! It's quality ingredients prepared properly, with care. Yes he dresses up the plates with garnish and flowers, but the food is always simple, done right and spot on.

If you close your eyes, Reach sounds like a Prince Zuko that got to mellow out and runs that tea shop with his uncle

[TimelesslyModern]

I love how he seriously respects his heritage, tradition, and memories, yet also fundamentally understands the importance of innovation. So much respect for this man.

I love hearing Wolfgang talk. I could listen for hours

Lucky bastard having Wolfgang cook him personally.

So you’re telling me that I can wear my neon yellow construction shirt to eat at spago??

[reuski]

I love how particular Wolfgang is with his childhood and how it really pours over to everything he does. He talks with so much warmth and passion and even though I’ve never eaten at Spago, I’m guessing that these same things translate to his food. Love him as a chef and as a person! Shoutout to Reach for sounding like Zuko too haha

This is the ultimate cooking. Different from those complicated fine dining. It’s simple but warm with heart and bring the flavour to the basis. I m really good at cooking. I feel it!!

[MellowSquash]

Lol Wolfgang pretty much said the same thing as Marco Pierre White when he quit cooking. "Critics don't know anything, why should I work so hard to please people who are less than me?"

[emillauridsen]

It's funny, the smoked salmon pizza is really more a Flammkuchen, which is a traditional southern German/Austrian pizza-like thing. It's got the red onions, the cremefraiche and the extra thin crust

10:42 "everything old has to be new again. we dont have the same clothes we had 50 or 100 yrs ago, so we make food a little different too"

When I lived in LA I was fortunate to dine at Spago BH regularly and it never disappointed. Always a great scene, amazing cooking and wonderful hospitality. Wolfgang was always there, cooking, chatting with guests and just being a great host. It was so wonderful.. I sill never forget those days and will likely never encounter a restaurant that I love more. Thank you Chef !!

11:40 is when I realized they got him off the construction site outside and they just threw a blazer on him. That neon shirt is to make sure he is fully visible. Remember, safety first.

Producer: Hey let's interview Wolfgang Puck! Dress appropriately.
Reach Guinto: Do not worry. I got this!

Wolfgang: "Gonna add a little sugar"
Also Wolfgang: *adds all the sugar*

I find that so beautiful “after all these years it still reminds me of my mother”

[paulgroseclose]

I heard an interview he did, a long time ago, where he said he always wanted people to cook their favorite dishes for him I wished he'd been able to taste my late wife's pork chop chili. I'm sure he would have loved it.
