Austria has produced a couple of amazing Wolfgangs: in the 1700s, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and, much more recently, Wolfgang Puck, who might be described as a Mozart of the kitchen.
“I always put it on the back burner, on the back of my head and never really want to talk about it,” Puck said during an appearance in Deadline’s virtual Tribeca Studio. “This was really the first time where people actually knew about my stepfather, may he rest in peace now. But he was terrorizing our family and it was really a terrible experience when I look back. If I would write the new playbook for my kids, I look at his playbook and do exactly the opposite and I will be fine, I think.
The film gives due credit to Barbara Lazaroff, Wolfgang’s business partner and ex-wife, who helped him build his restaurant and business empire during their 20 years of marriage. She designed the original Spago in West Hollywood, which featured an innovative “open kitchen” plan where diners could get a sense of the haute cuisine being made.
