==Why I reverted==
The text I reverted was taken directly from Food Network's website. There's a nice copyright notice at the bottom. [http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/wolfgang_puck/0,1974,FOOD_10019,00.html] [[User:Gentgeen|Gentgeen]] 05:46, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

"He was born to Maria Worth in a butcher shop who abandoned her before their child's birth. (Austrian shops can be very callous.) Maria married Josef Puck in 1956, who adopted Wolfgang. The marriage produced another son and two daughters." This is very strange. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/12.176.20.2|12.176.20.2]] ([[User talk:12.176.20.2|talk]]) 04:01, 9 November 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==name ==
How do you pronounce his birth name? Top-Fah-schnig? [[User:Wjhonson|Wjhonson]] 17:45, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
:''Topfschnig''. I'm not a German speaker, but I know the P and F are pronounced together, like "Pfeiffer", where you don't enunciate the P, but when it's at the end of a syllable you do, so the first syllable is "topf". "sch" is almost always equivalent to English "sh" or [ʃ] in IPA, and the I is long, how English speakers spell "eee". The G at the end of the word is sometimes a G and sometimes a "ch" like in Scottish "loch" or "Chanukah", and the IPA is [χ]. In short, I'd say it's: ''topf.shneegh''. [[User:JesseRafe|JesseRafe]] 00:53, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi. People in Austria definitely pronounce it this way: "topf-schnick" (to be honest it's kinda hard to pronounce for Austrians too, because the name Topfschnig derives from Slovenia and has been assimilated by Austrian authorities many decades ago.) By the way: the G at the end is never pronounced as "ch" in Austria and southern Germany , that would be typically for someone from northern or central Germany. -- I AGREE

== Spago ==

Spago deserves its own page.... except I know way too little about the place to write one. Anybody? Anybody? [[User:JDoorjam|JDoorj]][[User:JDoorjam/Esperanza|<font color="green">a</font>]][[User:JDoorjam|m]] [[User Talk:JDoorjam|Talk]] 07:53, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

:I know that there is a Spago in Beverly Hills (very good, I dined there) and one in Las Vegas (I have heard not so good reviews about it). [[User:Funcrab|Funcrab]] 21:55, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I changed Hepatitis B to Hepatitis A because that is what the story clearly says the cook was infected with.

==Restaurants==

I would like to see a list of his restaurants and more of a discussion of his cuisine. Spago is mega famous. And each of his restaurants is different. That's more interesting to me than his marketing and product licensing empire, which is also notable.

Is this honestly worth mentioning? the appeal of this information is so narrow being only interesting to the most extreme animal rights activist I can't even fathom anyone but whoever the poster was would care.

So far the list only gives Puck's successful restaurants. It might be fun to list the ones that didn't make it as well. Like the one he opened in Los Angeles in the late 1980s around sausages and beer, both made on the premises. Can't remember its name; interior design was by Barbara Lazaroff, looked like Deconstructed Third Reich, and probably the reason it failed.

== Where's the pizza?? ==


== Nonstick sauce pan ==
I couldn't help but notice that pizza was not mentioned in this article. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Wolfgang Puck famous for his gourmet pizza?? I searched other sites and they all mentioned that he was famous not only because of Spago, but because of his pizza varieties that had never been done before. I believe this fact should be emphasized in this article. Please tell me if I am wrong!! When I asked my Mom who Wolfgang Puck was, she said, "Isn't he that pizza guy?" That was the only thing she could remember of him. I was reading the Wikipedia article when she said this, and had no idea what she was talking about. Other than that, I believe the article is very clear.
