Excerpts from the article:
California celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck -- whose Hollywood restaurant Spago helped him launch an empire of more 60 fine-dining and casual venues -- may open a significant dining spot in the new MGM Grand Detroit Casino under construction downtown, he said in a radio interview Thursday.
Contracts haven't been signed yet, "but it seems like we have a deal with them," he told WCSX-FM (94.7) radio hosts Jim Johnson and Lynne Woodison.
An MGM spokesman and an official of Puck's organization confirmed that discussions are under way. It would be the star chef's first venture in Michigan.
Puck pioneered fine dining in a casino atmosphere.
