Generational Tasting Tour at Spago Shanghai

On October 13, the renowned dining series, the Generational Tasting Tour, makes its way to Spago Shanghai, featuring culinary icons Wolfgang Puck and his son Byron Lazaroff-Puck. This exciting event represents a unique fusion of flavors, storytelling, and artistry, highlighting the culinary evolution across generations.

Spago, a flagship restaurant for Wolfgang Puck, has been setting trends since its inception in 1982. Puck introduced what is now celebrated as California cuisine, characterized by seasonal and local ingredients, innovative cooking techniques, and a distinctive Californian spirit. Fast forward over four decades, and this philosophy continues to thrive across Spago establishments globally, each inspired by local culture and ingredients.

The Generational Tasting Tour transcends mere dining; it symbolizes a pivotal moment for Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group. In 2025, Byron succeeded his father as President of the group after honing his skills in Michelin-starred kitchens around the world. This tour marks an evolving chapter in their culinary journey, where Wolfgang and Byron collaborate to showcase their unique culinary perspectives.

Guests can expect a multi-course tasting menu that unites Wolfgang's classic dishes and flavors with Byron's modern interpretations, all enriched by local inspirations prevalent in Shanghai. It's not just about food—this experience dives deep into visual storytelling. Every guest will receive an exclusive newspaper-style menu, reflecting Wolfgang's passion for storytelling, creatively merging into a contemporary design influenced by Byron's sensibilities. Added elements of augmented reality enhance the experience, offering additional narrative layers and insights throughout the night.

Wolfgang Puck expresses his excitement for the Shanghai event, stating, "Cooking with Byron has been one of the most meaningful parts of this tour for me. Watching him develop his own culinary identity while we cook together brings us closer as a family and chefs. Shanghai's vibrant food culture enhances this special moment, and I'm thrilled to share it here."

The Generational Tasting Tour marks a notable milestone for Spago Shanghai, which celebrates its first anniversary as a premier dining destination along the Bund. With a panoramic view featuring the Bund's colonial architecture and the charming Yuyuan Garden, the restaurant reflects Wolfgang Puck's culinary vision while integrating local seasonal elements into its offerings. In just a year, Spago Shanghai has garnered numerous accolades including the prestigious AHEAD Asia Awards 2026 for Best Restaurant and Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence.

Following this Shanghai event, the tour will journey to Bahrain's re/ASIAN on November 5 and Las Vegas’ CARAMÁ on December 10, ultimately concluding back in Beverly Hills, where the family culinary legacy began.
