German sence of humour can makes them all appear no nonsense or humourless to the uncultural, but to those who have met them or visited/lived in Germany you can tell they are actually pretty friendly and usually always cracking some kind of joke. Or I guess you don't need to be cultured, just intelligent. Like yourself :)
Pretty much the same thing other than that either of them will kill you for saying it. But really, they are almost exactly the same. I've been to and lived in both places before anyone goes off about how would I know.
GECKman88 northern Germany is very different from Austria Bavaria is similar. All in all at least the Viennes are more chilled than Germans i would say. There history is very different and it is a own country so you can't generalise it as one country.
W T F... Over the years I have always had the impression that Stephen knows something about cooking and eating and then he bites off a truffle as if it were a ripe apple...
666Tomato666 Oh, come on... You don't have to cook with truffels yourself to know that you only grind small flakes of it over your food to intensify the taste - which may add to the price of the meal a few dollars. Especially if, like Stephen, you have already eaten countless times in fancy restaurants, which he occasionally talks about in his show. It is highly unlikely that a truffle never has crossed his way in all these years or that nobody had told him about the experience and how it 'works' on the table...
@TenshiChan The word "volatile" here doesn't mean explosive. He's using the way you would describe a solvent or other chemical that has a low vapor pressure and evaporates readily. If you ever read a news article referring to VOC's in some product they are referring to the Volatile Organic Compounds it contains.
yea scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=volatile+constituents+of&btnG= and yes truffles are super volatile... they lose 80% of their flavor if you just leave them sitting. also makes them super pungent (unpleasantly) if you're not careful which is why they slice them so thin
My favorite thing about this show is that he cares about his guests, and Stephen actually seems to knows his way around a kitchen. Wolfgang was very relaxed and comfortable with him.
Say, now. This had not occurred to me. A society with a well developed public transportation system is a society that is more likely to have a thriving social drinking scene. People are a lot less likely to say, "I can't drink. I have to drive home, later." So if a city like Los Angeles starts to build up its public transportation system, its petroleum industry is going to see a decline, but its bars and taverns are going to see _improvements._
Until 6 years ago, public transport in Vienna stopped from aprox. 0:30 to 4:30. Only expectations being the night buses. Now subways are at service through the night on FR, SA and before holidays. Before that, MANY people who didn't want to pay for a taxi went home with the last subways, went to friends home or whatever. Now noone cares how late it is and bars/clubs are filled till they close at 3:00 or 4:00. And yes, Austrians are on average hard drinkers.
I'm not sure, but I think you might have it reversed. I think public transportation might be the RESULT of a strong drinking culture... but who knows? only thing i know is that vienna's bathroom infrastructure is shite. I had to urinate behind a telephone booth at 11 pm in the city centre in Vienna because no public restrooms were available, #why.
Jerricola There cannot truly be a "fanciest meal in the world" as no one person's taste buds are the same. Which is why we have taste testers and food critics for different categories of dishes.
I would probably say the fanciest meal in the world would be a 12 course meal with foods from around the world paired with different scotch's, liquor's, whiskey's, gin's, and vodka's all served at barrel strength with water. Chocolate for desert.
technically you are right. but if you take it as a point of proximity ... you are dead wrong XD that's why the 24 hr can be broken into periods such as morning, noon, etc. and for that... no soup for you!
It can be done if you have the time and know how. Medium rare without the raw center takes some skill, but i've done it on steaks that big, but I have never seen steaks of that quality in my kitchen.
The cross-contamination in all these TV shows and segments is hilarious. Stephen shook his hand at least twice after Wolfgang touched that raw steak, then grabbed his wine glass, put his hand in his pocket, ate a bite from that truffle. At least this wasn't as bad as when Gordon Ramsay cut his finger on Ellen's show and continued cooking and handling the food as if his blood was special and okay to drip in the food
I hope he finished cooking that ridic steak and they all shared it! I am gonna be thinking about that. I hope they all got together with the band and had some... would be a shame if that beautifuly marbled piece of meat was wasted. A SHAME! :D
I have seen Puck's restaurant Spago in the Caesar's Palace hotel and resort (in Las Vegas). I thought that Wolfgang was French. Austria ? - I was dead wrong. He had made appearances on the older "Late Show" with David Letterman. That was the first time that I have seen this famous celebrity chef.
Ok, fun fact: If you make a clear broth or stock from fruit bats, it has an aroma just like truffles. And the more you reduce it, the flavor and aroma intesify. not trolling, just true
And yes. In austria we put the hotdog bread over a hot spike to gently make a hole in it. Atfterwards the sausage, ketchup and mustard is put in and than you can eat it without fear of spilling you full.
"There is no love more sincere than the love of food"-George Bernard Shaw (playwright as opposed to Bernard Shaw journalist though never spoke to either) that being quothed[sic] this much preparation for Valentine's day? Save some for the parade! When is that like the 19th? Great job Colbert/CBS/TH-cam! Can we as Wolfgang as president?
me watching this: lmao that silly accent, bet he's austrian. flatmate, from across the room: you're fucking austrian me: i know, that's why i can judge
Marta Have you ever tried Campari? That stuff really is BITTER. If i took a huge gulp like that, not knowing how it tastes, i might react the same way.
Marta Šillere Campari is really bitter. He was just doing some slapstick comedy. Also. I'm pretty sure it was real Campari and not prop Campari. And it isn't a wise idea to drink even one drop of alcohol while hosting. Let alone an entire gulp.
I respect the art and traditions of any cuisine; and a quick game show timing given to chefs is offensive to me. A chef is an very studied artist -- it's cringe worthy to have see a half assed rush through any beautiful meal with a fine chef in less time to get a burger schlepped through a drive through. Ugh. And OMG, gnawing on a truffle? The time slot could've been far more extensive.
I'd forgotten there other celebrity chefs other than Gordon Ramsey. It seems the media has us saturated with Ramsey and they neglect to mention other amazing chefs.
Yea. Doesn't intimidate me, but rather irritates me. A chef is an very studied artist -- it's cringe worthy to me to have see a half assed rush through any beautiful meal with a fine chef in less time to get a burger schlepped through a drive through. Ugh. And OMG, *gnawing* on a truffle?
I like how Wolfgang basically ignores 60% of the shit Stephen asked him.
I think they were both basically ignoring each other...
Like most people do.
Colbert is seriously one of the few people in human history to bite into a whole truffle like that.
bargh70 I hope it is only a few
No, it just shows you that he doesn't care about money as long as he's having fun
Would have done the same. I'm curious.
How much do you think that truffle costs?
Adam, they literally say that in the video.
"You are an expensive customer, but it's ok."
"This is a great date."
"The lobster or the drink?"
"YOU!"
lol
I always thought Wolfgang Puck is a stern and no nonsense guy. He is actually friendly and fun. Cool.
German sence of humour can makes them all appear no nonsense or humourless to the uncultural, but to those who have met them or visited/lived in Germany you can tell they are actually pretty friendly and usually always cracking some kind of joke.

He's Austrian
GECKman88 dam he is Austrian

I love how Stephen did the Salt Bae pose not once, but twice
"This one, 10 years." Burst out laughing in the middle of the night.....ding it! lol
W T F... Over the years I have always had the impression that Stephen knows something about cooking and eating and then he bites off a truffle as if it were a ripe apple...
well, most people don't cook with $300 apricot-sized mushrooms, even when "rich"
666Tomato666 Oh, come on...

Stephen has eaten all sorts of things over the years on his shows for the sake of comedy, including an Ewok 😋
When Steve took a bite of that truffle I was out of breath laughing
truffles are fucking volatile.... the aftertaste of that is going to follow him for like 2 days
Miles Deighton volatile? Do you mean vile? Because I don't think truffles go boom?
I almost screamed aloud because STEPHEN THAT IS NOT HOW TRUFFLES WORK.
@TenshiChan The word "volatile" here doesn't mean explosive. He's using the way you would describe a solvent or other chemical that has a low vapor pressure and evaporates readily.

Colbert is so damn quick with his one liners.
It was kind of an awkward interview, but this was pure Colbert... so awesome hahaha
My favorite thing about this show is that he cares about his guests, and Stephen actually seems to knows his way around a kitchen. Wolfgang was very relaxed and comfortable with him.
As an Austrian (even Viennese) I am so proud hahaha
Music Letters s
Music Letters What do you mean "even Viennese"? Wolfgang Puck is Carinthian!
I know, but they were talking about Vienna, not Kärnten
Colbert was, Puck didn't really respond ;)
Why would that make you proud. I mean it's nothing you achieved.
"We're making a simple Valentine's Day Dinner"
* Has literally almost $2000 presented on the table*
I've never thought about how amazing the colors look on Stephen's show.
I love how Stephen is game to try anything, that too voluntarily.
Totally the kind of guy who, every time he drops something on the kitchen floor, shouts "Awwww PUCK!" then looks at you sidelong and winks.

Lobbyists block any effort to build rail and subways in California. Corrupt politicians basically
"takes a bite into 300$ underground fungus" >>>> "this was a mistake" xD
Colbert seemed blasted after a few sips from that drink hahahah
Haha he was married 3 times. And how he wasnt responding to Stephen´s questions.
The Negroni cocktail is made of one part gin, one part vermouth rosso, and one part Campari, garnished with orange peel. It is considered an apéritif.
We know Stephen would put anything into his mouth, yet he still never fail to surprise us.
wolfgang knows how to roll
Yah he is a chef who does it properly.
The ORIGINAL celebrity chef? How soon we forget Julia Child.... And Jacques Pepin is still with us!
Marco Pierre White ???
Someone has to know, what is the absolute fanciest meal in the world? I mean for me Red Lobster counts as fancy...
Your great grandmothers cooking for that big holiday. You know the one. Yes, _that one._
Arbor day
A large box of Krispy Kreme donuts.
Jerricola There cannot truly be a "fanciest meal in the world" as no one person's taste buds are the same. Which is why we have taste testers and food critics for different categories of dishes.

This is actually so cute
good to see him not bragging about our country. good job and amazing career. aut of se liddl ostria
I'm watching this while eating nutella. Feels weird, that steak looks sexy.
Lol.."im gonna put out"... Hilarious
Now imagine a very posh Randy Savage telling Stephen to "snap into a truffle!"
That cocktail was a hot mess! But Stephen will put out so.. it'll be all right lol!
Puck is working on German sense of time and structure, he gets nearly perplexed by things off the plan.
... Working on Austrian sense
@@theultrasound1394 I said what I said, fella!
@@docterblood everyone needs someone who's pointing out his mistakes sometimes, you're welcome.
@@theultrasound1394 based on your comments on this channel, cool feature btw, you just seem like a real jerk of a fella. Nasty dude.
@@docterblood that's Austrian 🇦🇹 sense of time and structure
this was so much fucking funnier than i thought it would be, this is why i watch Colbert, holy shit the fucking truffle bite was absurd
now... I am really hungry... and it's past midnight...
I should not have watched this video
Midnight is the only time thats not past midnight. You eat past midnight all the time
technically you are right.
but if you take it as a point of proximity ... you are dead wrong XD
that's why the 24 hr can be broken into periods such as morning, noon, etc.
and for that... no soup for you!
I mean if you want to make this harder for yourself i wont stop you. I just gave you a reason not to be hungry.
and I just made myself more hungry by throwing that Seinfeld reference T_T
There are a few favorite chefs I have admired over the years and Wolfgang is one of them.
Haute cuisine at its imitated finest in the land of what happens here stays here, that and lots of buffets.
U could tell Wolfgang didn’t like hi
I am assuming that the chef asking the show staff "Mention THE ORIGINAL CELEBRITY CHEF" happened
Wolfgang is great and deceptively funny lol! Really liked the times with him and Craig Ferguson! So funny!
That 3" steak is going to be so raw inside.... Raaaaaawwwww
Crash Gaming
That’s how one eats good steak.
Wasn't it "well done" with a presidential amount of Ketchup?
adamtzsch, I know. I eat steaks 2x per week. But not that thick. I'll try.
It better still be mooing, otherwise its ruined!
It can be done if you have the time and know how. Medium rare without the raw center takes some skill, but i've done it on steaks that big, but I have never seen steaks of that quality in my kitchen.
I swear Wolfgang Puck makes everything look so fucking easy...
I've never seen an improviser at Colberts level who spends as much time as he does with his hands in his pockets.
The cross-contamination in all these TV shows and segments is hilarious. Stephen shook his hand at least twice after Wolfgang touched that raw steak, then grabbed his wine glass, put his hand in his pocket, ate a bite from that truffle.
At least this wasn't as bad as when Gordon Ramsay cut his finger on Ellen's show and continued cooking and handling the food as if his blood was special and okay to drip in the food
Steven's lit...
Cut, by Wolfgang Puck
Debbie Marquis totally
Omfg poor Colbert just chewing that truffle indefinitely lol
Craig Ferguson all over again
Xtreme Dummy Cooking segments make me miss Craig Ferguson!
Love his Vegas Cut restaurant.
More of this please
That second steak looks like wagyu
@ 4:56 "That... was a mistake."
They're still waiting for the steak to finish cooking.
Wolfgang Puck is a legend!
Poor lobster
I hope he finished cooking that ridic steak and they all shared it! I am gonna be thinking about that. I hope they all got together with the band and had some... would be a shame if that beautifuly marbled piece of meat was wasted. A SHAME! :D
Friedrich R.
Wasting food is a cornerstone of America life.
In an interview he hates the word celebrity chef
stephen plz don't fake it
I have seen Puck's restaurant Spago in the Caesar's Palace hotel and resort (in Las Vegas). I thought that Wolfgang was French. Austria ? - I was dead wrong. He had made appearances on the older "Late Show" with David Letterman. That was the first time that I have seen this famous celebrity chef.
"oh i'm gonna put out" haha
ready to chat with anyone else who felt like they didn't address the massive steak
Golfwang
Gnagflow
Thickest steak I have ever seen. Is this usual in the States?
No, that was kinda wacky. I question the logic of grilling such a slab too.
mrdfac
Yeah, putting on weight while wasting food is their national pastime.
Thanks mate. Cheers. :)
Murica!
not really
everything in that table looks fucking delicious
"You put a little pepper, you wanna spice it up a little bit" ahahahaa dfkm spice, ya ok bud ok
That was an awesome looking steak and the lobster wasn't bad either.
Who names their son Wolfgang ?
The coolest dad ever....that’s who...
Girls are gonna say “I just been banged by Wolfgang” 😂
Austrians, who are not Americans and use different names maybe?
I love Wolfgang puck
I just got a Craig Ferguson flashback. It's even same network.

Anybody notice the bad jokes Colbert makes that nobody notices?

flatmate, from across the room: you're fucking austrian
me: i know, that's why i can judge
I thought that was John McEnroe in the thumbnail...
I cringed so hard when Stephen took a bite of that truffle😂😂😂
People went to oscar for his meals.
I was really confused for a second... i thought he was adding the alcohol to the bucket, I was like okay😆😅
Legend
I just discover this video.. But I definitely know, THAT is cocktail you dont want to order loudly at the bar..
Is there any holiday we can celebrate without killing any animal?
Whenever there is a chef on a show the hoast messes with the food...
I didnt get any word of that.
that 100 dollars bite :)
That's a lovely accent
Idk about that truffle bite...lmao, but sure would have like to have seen the end result of that steak. Man talk about a piece of meat...! Mmm Mmm
I could cut like 3 still decent sized steaks out of that thing. Damn.
Oh shit, is Colbert having marriage problems?! Did Wolfgang just drop that on him? Stephen seemed kind of defensive.
Spitting the drink out was utmost rude
Marta Have you ever tried Campari? That stuff really is BITTER. If i took a huge gulp like that, not knowing how it tastes, i might react the same way.
Thomas Benck oh please it was very demonstrative
Marta Šillere Campari is really bitter. He was just doing some slapstick comedy. Also. I'm pretty sure it was real Campari and not prop Campari. And it isn't a wise idea to drink even one drop of alcohol while hosting. Let alone an entire gulp.
Speaking of 'cut', how you feelin Stephen? Good? Looks it. XD
I respect the art and traditions of any cuisine; and a quick game show timing given to chefs is offensive to me. A chef is an very studied artist -- it's cringe worthy to have see a half assed rush through any beautiful meal with a fine chef in less time to get a burger schlepped through a drive through. Ugh. And OMG, gnawing on a truffle? The time slot could've been far more extensive.
Now I'm hungry like the wolf
these cooking segments are so out of place and awkward xD
They're my favorite! Sad they weren't joined by john Oliver
They're such a refreshing change of pace
Seth Meyers does the best cooking segments I think. He goes in like he hasn't been fed in a week
no.
I love food so I love them
I'd forgotten there other celebrity chefs other than Gordon Ramsey. It seems the media has us saturated with Ramsey and they neglect to mention other amazing chefs.
Mate... I would have loved to see how that thick steak would have turned out.
The 'original celebrity chef' ? Really ?....How fast we forgot Paul Bocuse.....
He was faded af by the end of that bih
Whenever he steps away from politics, you can tell Colbert has total disinterest and is just going through the motions.
How bout that dry mouth after biting into that truffle lol Stephen :D
those steaks, omygod
Why are these so rushed. Kinda intimidated me lol
Yea. Doesn't intimidate me, but rather irritates me. A chef is an very studied artist -- it's cringe worthy to me to have see a half assed rush through any beautiful meal with a fine chef in less time to get a burger schlepped through a drive through. Ugh. And OMG, *gnawing* on a truffle?
They have awesome chemistry. They should have their own cooking show.
