Vicki says: “David Gelb of JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI fame now turns his camera on Wolfgang Puck. Puck began cooking for celebrities and then became a celebrity chef. We learn quite a bit about Wolfgang in this well-done profile of the chef. It doesn’t really probe into the psyche of the the chef as he builds his empire and reputation. But I don’t think that is necessary with Puck. It’s enough that when he arrived on the culinary scene, he raised cooking and food to another level. He turned restaurants around, introduced chef branding and started a one-of-a kind pizza restaurant. Through interviews with friends and fellow chefs, the documentary paints a positive portrait of Puck. And who can help but resist some of the mouth watering food photography. It’s an enjoyable 78 minutes. 3.5 cats
