For me, I don’t expect to have a really amazing meal each time I dine out. Having a good meal with your loved ones – that’s what makes the experience. – Wolfgang Puck
I like Dover sole. It’s always one of my favorites. I like it when I’m in England. I eat it every day almost. I think it’s probably one of my favorite fish. – Wolfgang Puck
I grew up in Austria, and for me real comfort food is Wiener Schnitzel. Wiener Schnitzel and mashed potatoes because it reminds me of my youth… It reminds me when I grow up and it feels very comforting. – Wolfgang Puck
It’s very important in a restaurant to really do the right hiring because there’s no restaurant that you have one cook and one chef and nobody else in the kitchen. Generally you have five, ten, 15 people with you. So that’s really important is to train them right, but first you have to hire the right people. – Wolfgang Puck
I always tell people that they are really the critics. If people come three times a week to your restaurant they are the ones who find something they really love. – Wolfgang Puck

One thing I always say is being a great chef today is not enough – you have to be a great businessman. – 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
A good chef has to be a manager, a businessman and a great cook. To marry all three together is sometimes difficult. – 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
It’s a myth that generally Asians are mostly vegetarians. The Japanese are the kings of red meat, but it’s expensive. The Chinese and Vietnamese love their pork. Many Indians, especially the Muslims, can’t live without their lamb. – 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
If you’re cooking for a woman, make a good risotto and a salad. If you don’t have time to make desert you can go and buy some macaroons to have afterwards. – Wolfgang Puck
