Puck Caters to Hollywood Theme Park

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (Amusement Business) – Wolfgang Puck has been named primary caterer for Universal Studios Hollywood's special events. The famed Austrian-born chef will unveil a signature dessert for the park called Star-Bites. Each year, Universal Studios Hollywood entertains millions of visitors and caters events for guests ranging from 50 to 30,000, including high-profile movie premieres and Fortune 500 corporate events. It uses the 9,600-square-foot Globe Theatre, its European-themed streets and the entire park to entertain. “The addition of Wolfgang Puck's famous cuisine to our service will enhance our ability to create truly memorable special events,” Universal Studios Hollywood president and COO Larry Kurzweil said in a statement. “It's a great marriage of two of Hollywood's most venerable brands."

I wonder if this will affect Puck's deals with WDW, where he operates 3 restaurants (full service and quick service at Downtown Disney West Side and a quick service at Disney's Village Markeplace).
