Chef Wolfgang Puck's Menu for Sunday's Star-Studded Governors Ball
We don’t know who will snag a statue Sunday night at the Academy Awards, but we do know what the stars will eat once the ceremony is over. Both winners and the less fortunate alike will be nibbling on hors d’oeuvres and sexy snacks created by Wolfgang Puck for the Governors Ball.
The celebrity chef is overseeing the annual gala’s menu for the 21st year in a row. The rest of the culinary team includes Matt Bencivenga (the chef-partner at Wolfgang Puck Catering) and the pastry team of Kamel Guechida, Della Gossett, and Jason Lemonnier.
Curious to see what’s on the menu? Check below for the entire list from (parsnip) soup to (spiced) nuts.
