| |
| When Puck was asked what he would most like to be remembered for, he answered, “For passing on my knowledge on to a lot of younger people. I think that that’s really the most important thing at the end of the day.” By the time Puck’s career comes to an end, he will have indeed left a rich legacy of not only gourmet cuisine, but also strong entrepreneurial lessons.

Lesson #2: Keep it Simple
| |
| Puck has never been one for pretensions. Despite being a gourmet chef who caters to the who’s who of Hollywood and many of America’s other elite, Puck has refused to succumb to the glitz and the airs of many of the other top chefs. He has kept his recipes simple and their presentation equally so, his restaurant designs unfussy and his overall message clear-cut: “I think people can walk by, and they see the menu. It’s not intimidating and the food is interesting. If they get good food, friendly service in a nice environment, people will come back and tell their friends.” |

Howard Schultz Bio
| |
| The Howard Schultz bio is not necessarily a story of innovation. After all, Howard Schultz was not the first person to ever think of establishing gourmet coffee bars, where coffee was served in cups, not beans, and people could come to meet and relax; he had gotten the idea after visiting Milan, Italy, on a family vacation. Nor was Howard Schultz the original founder of Starbucks; he built upon the success of three men and their coffeehouse in Seattle, Washington. |
