In today's episode, I sit down with Wolfgang Puck, a culinary icon whose restaurants have shaped fine dining around the world. We talk about what it takes to create not just a great meal but an unforgettable experience, from hand-selecting ingredients at the farmer's market to making every guest feel like the most important person in the room. Wolfgang shares how his mother's encouragement and his stepfather's harshness pushed him toward excellence, and why discipline, humility, and consistency matter in both life and business. He also explains the simple rule that has guided his success for decades: spend less than you make.

CarneyShow 02.28.25 Wolfgang Puck, Michael 'Supe' Granda, Dale Jones, Tom O'Keefe by
María Santos repasa todas las noticias del sector. 1.- España disparó las importaciones de cereal de Marruecos un 625% en 2024 en comparación con el 2023, lo que supone multiplicarlas por más de 7, hasta los 1,5 millones de euros, tal y como se reflejan en los datos ofrecidos por el Ministerio de Economía y Comercio consultados por OKDIARIO. Mientras tanto, el aumento de la oferta de este tipo de productos provocado por las compras al exterior está presionando a la baja los precios nacionales. De hecho, los agricultores españoles se han visto obligados a rebajar el precio un 45% desde mayo de 2022, según Unión de Uniones, la segunda asociación del sector más representativa del país. Y es que España no sólo compra cereal de Marruecos. Los representantes del sector agrario denuncian que también está entrando un número muy elevado de este producto procedente de Ucrania: «Ha crecido tanto que ha supuesto casi 8,4 millones de toneladas en 2023 y cerca de 6,5 millones en el primer semestre de 2024». 2.- Las exportaciones españolas de forrajes deshidratados aumentaron un 15,3% en el año 2024 hasta un total de 752.960 toneladas. El formato que más se exportó el pasado año fueron las balas deshidratadas con cerca de medio millón de toneladas vendidas en el mercado exterior, mientras que las ventas en formato granulado fueron de algo más de 250.000 toneladas. España continúa consolidándose como uno de los principales exportadores de forrajes deshidratados a nivel mundial. Este producto, esencial para la alimentación del ganado, ha encontrado un mercado creciente en diversos países, destacando especialmente en el continente asiático y en Oriente Medio. Las exportaciones españolas de forrajes deshidratados han mostrado un crecimiento notable en los últimos años, diversificándose hacia nuevos mercados. Además de los tradicionales compradores, países como Marruecos, Corea del Sur o Líbano han incrementado sus importaciones, lo que refleja la calidad y competitividad del producto español. 3.- El Congreso de los Diputados ha aprobado una iniciativa del PP por la que pide que los colegios e institutos dediquen unidades didácticas especializadas sobre el trabajo agrícola para que las nuevas generaciones tengan un conocimiento certero de cómo se producen los alimentos. En concreto, se ha aprobado por unanimidad una proposición no de de ley del Grupo popular que insta al Gobierno a trabajar en colaboración con el sector agroalimentario para elaborar unidades didácticas, dentro de la enseñanza reglada, sobre la alimentación y el sector primario. A instancias de una enmienda de Junts que se ha incluido en la iniciativa se pide que ese trabajo lo haga el Ejecutivo "dentro de su ámbito competencial y con respeto a las competencias de las distintas administraciones". El objetivo de esta enseñanza es que en las aulas haya contenidos curriculares para que las nuevas generaciones tengan un conocimiento certero de cómo se producen nuestros alimentos, su trazabilidad y garantías sanitarias, así como las propiedades que nos brinda, a través de la dieta mediterránea, en nuestra salud y en nuestra esperanza de vida. 4.- La gastronomía española volverá a estar presente en la gala de los premios Oscar, que se celebrará el próximo 2 de marzo en Los Ángeles, de la mano de Cinco Jotas, según informa la firma en un comunicado. En concreto, el jamón de bellota 100% ibérico español será uno de los protagonistas en la Governor's Ball, la fiesta oficial de los premios de cine en Los Ángeles (Estados Unidos), que congregará a más de 1.500 personas. Tras su debut en Hollywood, la firma española volverá a estar en esta icónica cena, que está diseñada por el chef Wolfgang Puck, que cumple su 31 aniversario encargándose del menú de este evento. 5.- La conselleira de Medio Ambiente e Cambio Climático, Ángeles Vázquez, ha reclamado al Gobierno central que retire cuanto antes al lobo del listado de especies con protección especial. Esta es una de las cuestiones que ha abordado con el secretario de Estado de Medio Ambiente, Hugo Morán, en un encuentro en el que le trasladó los datos que tiene la Xunta sobre la población del lobo que constatan, ha dicho en declaraciones posteriores, que el estado de esta especie en Galicia "es más que favorable". Por el contrario, ha dicho que se han incrementado los avisos por ataques del mismo. "En un 70% de media", ha añadido para asegurar que se registran "nueve ataques al día" provocados por el lobo. "No tienen excusa", ha sentenciado sobre el Gobierno central. Mientras, sobre el jabalí reclamó la elaboración de un censo. Al respecto, ha dicho que el secretario de Estado se comprometió a trasladar al Ministerio de Agricultura esta cuestión ante una demanda de la comunidad autónoma formalizada, ha recordado, "hace dos años".

Today on the LA Food Podcast, the most recognizable chef on the planet joins us for an interview - and I'm not talking about Chef Boyardee. Wolfgang Puck is with us today, alongside his son Byron Lazaroff Puck for honestly one of my favorite conversations we've ever had on this platform. Wolfgang has been one of the most if not THE most trailblazing chef in America for more than 40 years, and we discuss the many changes he's seen in the Los Angeles food scene since he opened Spago back in 1982. But don't just talk about the past - I was truly impressed to find that the Wolfgang Puck group of restaurants is as innovative and vibrant as ever and much of that is down to the passion and savviness of Byron Lazaroff Puck, Wolfgang's son and heir apparent to the legendary restaurant empire. Wolfgang, Byron and I discuss what it's like to operate as a father/son duo, how Wolfgang navigates the temptation to micromanage and how Byron approaches the pressure that naturally comes with the territory. Most interestingly, I ask them both about their vision for the company's future, and I think their answers might surprise you. But first, Father Sal is with us to quickly recap the New York Times' list of Best Restaurants in America, how the Los Angeles Times blatantly disrespected me by crowning somebody else LA's sandwich king, and to dream brand new name for our beloved segment bad idea/horrible idea. RIP, all good things to come to an end, and all that jazz.
