Wolfgang Puck, the iconic, Austrian-born chef, has been a recognizable name and face within, and outside of, the culinary realm for nearly 50 years.
One of the original "celebrity chefs," Puck trained in France before moving to the United States in the 1970s and essentially taking over the Los Angeles restaurant scene in the ensuing years, making his Spago an internationally renowned restaurant. Since then, he opened restaurant after restaurant, became a food TV personality, released countless cookbooks, won various James Beard awards and Michelin stars, launched various charities and foundations — and the list goes on and on.
