What’s on Wolfgang Puck’s menu for Oscar night

What do you serve the world's most powerful celebrities whose taste buds are accustomed to Michelin-grade fare, luxury ingredients and champagne bubbles? For the 22nd year in a row, chef to the stars Wolfgang Puck will oversee the menu for the Governors Ball on February 28, feeding 1,500 guests including Academy Award winners, nominees and presenters.

The theme for this year's party will be "the art of making film," and feature 170 newly commissioned drawings of filmmaking legends, past and present. The setting will draw inspiration from two of the most iconic restaurants for Hollywood celebrities: Sardi's in New York's theatre 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.

Puck, meanwhile, will be orchestrating a show of his own in the kitchens of the Governors Ball, sending out convoys of servers with trays bearing 50 types of hors d'oeuvres, small-plate entrees and desserts.
