As a teenager in Austria, Wolfgang Puck harnessed his love of cooking to escape the harsh rule of his stepfather.

In 70s Hollywood, Puck began working at Ma Maison, crafting an original menu around fresh ingredients, making the once-tacky eatery a popular, acclaimed darling. Still, the lack of acknowledgement from Ma Maison’s owner pushed Puck to take the biggest risk of his career and open his first restaurant, Spago, an instant hit where famous clientele dote equally on Puck’s new American cuisine and personality. Almost by accident, Puck created the concept of a “celebrity chef” with his decades-spanning television appearances, building a staggering global empire of restaurants, cafes and products for home cooks.

Loki: Season 1 (2021) Disney+ Wednesday, Jun. 9
As seen in the aforementioned series teaser, Loki escaped captivity only to end up detained by another organization.

Though it’s unclear what Loki’s plans will be throughout the series, there’s a scene where he exclaims that Heimdall (who died in “Avengers: Infinity War”) and Thor “better be ready.” Is Heimdall also coming back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe? How will Thor feel about his antagonistic sibling coming back? Only time will tell. –Indie Wire
