Orlando- “This is not Wolfgang Puck's first Disney rodeo.
The Austrian-born Puck, whose first venue, Spago, has been earning raves since opening its doors in L.A. in 1982, is arguably the world's first modern-era celebrity chef and the vehicle through which California pizza was popularized.
So, it's not surprising that pizzaiolos get star positioning at the new Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill Orlando in Disney Springs. An expansive pizza bar gives them a stage (the stage door being the fiery maw of its wood-burning oven) and a comfortable row of seats where patrons enjoy a combination dinner/show/Q&A session.
It was part of the concept from the get-go, says Puck, who's created entertainment on a Disney-esque level without sacrificing quality. The crust on the smoked salmon pizza is solid proof. They make the same dish at his Las Vegas eatery, but had to alter its recipe for the Florida climate.
"In summertime, when it gets really humid, we use less liquid, we make it a little drier," he explains. "And so that way we keep the same time for fermentation."
Pizza, whether slathered in salmon, dill cream and chives or more traditional offerings, such as pepperoni or fennel sausage, make a great starter for families or groups, Puck notes, "and for me, if I go for a special thing, a bottle of champagne and a smoked salmon pizza is perfect!"
The restaurant's expansive and casually elegant farmhouse feel is quite natural for Puck.
"I grew up on a farm and farm-to-table was the only way we ate," he explains, "so I always loved this idea of a farmhouse. It's welcoming...and the new Disney Springs complex is very much a place where everyone – not just tourists at the parks, but local people – can go and hang out, shop a little bit, go for a drink or just have an ice cream”....”
