Thanks to the Daily Beast site which has ferreted out the official menu for Sunday’s Oscars after-party. I always thought that film stars ate nothing for fear of looking porky on screen but if this menu is anything to go by then they can scoff like troopers.
Chef Wolfgang Puck along with Chef Partner Matt Bencivenga and Executive Pastry Chef Sherry Yard, great name by the way, have devised the following:
Tempura Shrimp and Lobster
Mini Kobe Burgers with Aged Cheddar and Remoulade
Wasabi Pea-Crusted Crab Cake with Mango and Thai Basil
Smoked Salmon Pizza with Caviar and Dill Creme
Black Truffle & Ricotta Cheese Pizza
Vegetable Spring Rolls with Sweet & Spicy Dipping Sauce
Chicken Pot Stickers with Ginger Black Vinegar Dipping Sauce
House Smoked Salmon, Potato Galette, Crème Fraiche and Baby Greens with Butler-Passed Warm Brioche
Chicken Pot Pie with Yukon Gold Potatoes, Baby Heirloom Vegetables and Homemade Pastry Crust
“L’Etoile de Oscar”
Baked Alaska with Espresso Glace, Guittard L’Etoile du Nord Chocolate Sorbet and Toasted Meringue
I’m a bit confused as to what butler-passed warm brioche is but otherwise it all looks super yum. Naturally, drooling over the menu is about as close as us mere mortals will ever get to the Osacrs after-party but I did like The Beast’s suggestion for an Oscars meal that you can cook at home. It starts here.
