I was approached by a PR firm today and was asked if I would be interested in interviewing Wolfgang Puck at an event next Thursday.

Unfortunately, I can’t take leave from my day job (the geek part of me) to do the interview with a few other foodies. It’s really too bad…

The closest I ever got to meeting Wolfgang Puck in person was when I interviewed for a job with Chef Lee Hefter and Wolfgang’s brother Klaus Puck back in 2001 at the Kodak Center. I was still in my culinary program and was encouraged to interview by my, then mentor, Chef Carol Cotner Thompson.

It was a wonderful opportunity for me. I was nervous as hell and I knew it showed during my interview. I didn’t get the job. It’s ok, I wasn’t ready for it…then. :)

Maybe another opportunity will come up for me to meet Mr. Puck in person. In the meantime, I hope the foodies that are able to go have some interesting questions to ask of Wolfgang Puck!
