CUT lounge presents a delicious new brunch and dine-in menu
Mei Yue Nights bring the flavour of Asian street food with a
fine-dining twist
Additionally, he says he is also educating
the chefs more about the industry of
Hospitality as a whole, and having the
chefs interact with the diners to make sure
their experience at the restaurant is of the
utmost comfort and pleasure.
Truly a master of the culinary arts,
Chef Wolfgang Puck has launched a new
restaurant concept in West Hollywood, The
Rogue Experience, where a table of only
10 seats is set and any chef from any of the
signature Wolfgang Puck restaurants can
come into the kitchen and cook with the
team there. Though that may seem easy,
the challenge is the chefs cannot create
the same dishes they are used to creating
in their own restaurant kitchens; they
must come up with entirely new dishes to
serve the diners. Along with never having
the luxury to cook for smaller audiences,
Chef Wolfgang says is also a good way to
have chefs step up to the plate and delve
deeper into the world of culinary creativity
to produce dishes that have never been
tried or tasted before.They can then take
the dishes back to their own restaurants to
enhance the existing menus.
Understanding the need for education
and understanding of the industry from
a younger age, Chef Wolfgang Puck says
he would also like to see the Kingdom of
Bahrain have a hospitality school to allow
the budding chefs or those interested
in the hospitality industry as a whole an
opportunity to purse their passion. This, he
says, would allow the young Bahrainis or
expatriates in the country to not only grasp
the ethos behind the industry but will also
make them eligible to work anywhere in
the world. Practicing a similar concept
of education and vocational studies
through his organisation in Ethiopia,
Dreams for Future Africa, with the help of
his wife, Chef Wolfgang says the school
that started with 24-orphaned children
has now up to 800 children receiving an
education. He says he looks to expand
the school further and offer agricultural
studies and an apprenticeship program
where the students can study and work in a
restaurant environment simultaneously.
Deeming Bahrain as one of the
friendliest states in the region, Chef
Wolgang notes his visit to the country
each time has been spectacular, as his
interactions with people from different
walks of life have truly added to his visit.
“You can have the most beautiful buildings
in a place, but you have to have contact
with the people, and that is what is
important to me,” he says and with each
visit, the award-winning chef truly displays
his culinary savvy and expertise, all the
while maintaining his humble demeanour,
winning traits that have earned him his
myriad of accolades – most recently a star
on the Hollywood Boulevard – and acclaim
across the globe.
