Wolfgang Puck

We all know Wolfgang as a celebrity chef whose “Spago” in LA became THE celebrity restaurant of choice back in the 80’s. More restaurants, branded packaged food, lots of fame and success followed. But most of us don’t know about his humble beginnings in Austria, challenging family background and journey that led him to settle in America. This documentary available on Disney Plus (try to login using a friend’s account if you don’t have one) tells the story of this immigrant’s life in a nicely paced and well illustrated format. Puck is puckish in his youthful looks - he’s 72 - and even more youthful energy. He’s charming, he’s a creative force and he’s still relevant. You’ll want smoked salmon pizza ASAP after watching this flick.
