Part of the dining industry’s rapidly growing “fast casual” segment, this eatery takes some of the favorite items from celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck’s fine restaurants, like Los Angeles’ Spago, and delivers them to folks in the rest of the country. Colorful, contemporary and appealing in a warm-cool California way, the franchise on Cool Springs Boulevard is the 26th in this rapidly growing chain. Eight stools provide seating at the bar, while a crew of smartly outfitted chefs—or “Culinary Champions,” as they are called—prepare meals in full view of the clientele. The chef features nightly specials and the manageable menu is an all-American repertoire of salads, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas and entrées jazzed up with influences from Asia, Mexico and Italy.
