Wolfgang Puck is widely known for the best of restaurant hospitality and the ultimate in all aspects of culinary arts. From restaurants to cookware, Puck has created a culinary empire second to none. The celebrity chef has even expanded into catering and is one of the official caterers for the Academy Awards Governors Ball.

Wolfgang Puck and Barbara Lazaroff's flagship restaurant, Spago Beverly Hills, is a must stop for visitors to the city. The master chef created a menu with his iconic farm-to-table philosophy, heightening the ever-popular California cuisine which catapulted Puck to stardom.
