LOS ANGELES - This podcast has nothing to do with politics. It's just a fascinating interview.

LISTEN: Episode 96 - Wolfgang Puck

Elex Michaelson recently sat down with Wolfgang Puck inside his Hotel Bel Air restaurant.

Wolfgang redefined the way we eat, what we eat, and how we learn about food.

He invented the "open kitchen concept," became the first restaurant chef to appear regularly on TV, and then became a world class entrepreneur.

Wolfgang Puck, a culinary revolutionist

Wolfgang Puck has changed what we eat and how we eat it. There's an argument that he's revolutionized the LA food scene more than anyone else alive. Wolfgang's backstory will leave you surprised, inspired, and hungry.

But, his start in life was tough. His step-father didn't believe in him & didn't think men should cook at all.

In this wide ranging conversation, Wolfgang opens up about finding a mentor & a purpose in life.

He breaks down his strategy for success...and how he's paid it forward to several generations.

Portions of this were featured in Elex's story for the FOX 11 News at 10 p.m. in Los Angeles.
