It has been 22 years since Wolfgang Puck began creating\u00a0the menu for the Governors Ball and he deserves a Lifetime Achievement award for this string of unbroken performances. The Oscar after-party will see 1,500 guests, from the most powerful celebrities to Academy Award winners, nominees and presenters be gathered to dine on a Michelin-grade spread.<\/p>\n
For 2016, the chef to the stars has crafted a menu to follow the theme \u2014 \u201cThe art of making film\u201d. The setting will draw inspiration from two of the most iconic restaurants for Hollywood celebrities: Sardi\u2019s in New York\u2019s theater district, whose walls are lined with hundreds of celebrity caricatures, and The Brown Derby in Los Angeles, a restaurant shaped like a derby hat which has become synonymous with the Golden Age of Hollywood.<\/p>\n
Along with the 170 newly commissioned drawings that showcase filmmaking legends, guests will dine on dishes such as chicken potpie with shaved black truffles and chocolate covered Oscars with 24-karat gold. Puck will be orchestrating his own show in the kitchens as he sends out convoys of servers bearing 50 types of hors d\u2019oeurves, small plate entrees and desserts.<\/p>\n
