Why I reverted

The text I reverted was taken directly from Food Network's website. There's a nice copyright notice at the bottom. [1] Gentgeen 05:46, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

A lot of that information was hidden in the info box under Puck's picture. I've move much of than information into the narative of the article. Thank you for bringing this up, so the article could be improved. Gentgeen 05:41, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

name

How do you pronounce his birth name? Top-Fah-schnig? Wjhonson 17:45, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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. --

Spago

Spago deserves its own page.... except I know way too little about the place to write one. Anybody? Anybody? JDoorj a m Talk 07:53, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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). Funcrab 21:55, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy: Hep A not B

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

Free image

If the current image is removed, there's a free image at Image:Wolfgang Puck cropped.jpg. Not great, but it meets our rules. - Peregrine Fisher 17:53, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
