The Oscars are nearly here, and celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck has released his menu, for which he brought in

15 pounds of gold dust, 24 gallons of cocktail sauce, 1000 pounds of salmon, 2000 sesame miso cones, 4,800 eggs, 7,200 shrimp, and 50,000 baby veggies

to feed the expected 1500 guests. Want to see what’s on the menu?

Pre-Set First Course
Crispy Potato Galatte, Smoked Salmon, Dill Cream and Baby Greens

Entrée
Organic Chicken Pot Pie
Black Truffles and Root Vegetables

Dessert
“L’Etoile de Oscar”
(Baked Alaska with Espresso Glace and Guittard Chocolate Sorbet)
24 Carat Chocolate Oscar

Sounds like a delicious meal- simple, but comforting (yay for Chicken Pot Pie!)

If I were having it, I would be all over that 24 Carat Chocolate Oscar, which is perhaps the first registered dessert I’ve ever heard of. Executive pastry chef for the event is apparently Sherry Yard, one of my favorites for sure. I’ve made several things from her cookbooks, and they’re always, always perfect.

What are you eating on Oscar night?
