Today on our episode #394 of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer's guest is Wolfgang Puck, famed chef, restaurateur, TV personality 'and author, who has built a brand that encompasses three companies: Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group, Wolfgang Puck Catering, and Wolfgang Puck Worldwide, Inc. The name Wolfgang Puck is synonymous with the best of restaurant hospitality and the ultimate in all aspects of the culinary arts. Wolfgang was born in Austria. He began cooking alongside his mother at a very young age, and worked in some of France’s greatest restaurants, including Maxim’s in Paris, and the Hotel de Paris in Monaco. At the age of 24, Wolfgang left Europe for the United States, first working at the restaurant La Tour in Indianapolis, and then in Los Angeles, quickly garnering the attention of the Hollywood elite as chef of Ma Maison in West Hollywood. In 1982, Wolfgang opened his first flagship restaurant, Spago located in West Hollywood on the Sunset Strip. Spago was an instant success and culinary phenomenon. Today, Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining restaurants can be found around the world. In addition, this year, Wolfgang celebrated an Oscar milestone as he marked his 30th year catering for the event. Shari sat down with Wolfgang in Las Vegas at his restaurant Caramá at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino to talk about his impressive career, while she was in town for The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2024 in early June.
Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to let simplicity rule; and Solo Dining experience at Le Veau d'Or, a revival of the famed French bistro in NYC that originally opened in 1937, brought back by chefs Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr, the duo behind NYC's Frenchette and Le Rock.
