Numerous pounds of caviar, black truffles, sushi, and tomahawk steaks have been transported to Hollywood for this Sunday’s extravagant Oscars <\/strong>after-party.<\/p>\n

Guests will enjoy these delicacies along with thousands of bottles of tequila and champagne at the Governors Ball, where newly crowned Academy Award winners will have their statuettes engraved while other celebrities dine, dance, and chat.<\/p>\n

Small plates<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cWe prepare 25,000 small plates,\u201d Wolfgang Puck, the renowned chef who is overseeing the party’s menu for the 32nd consecutive year, stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can enjoy Japanese cuisine, Austrian dishes, and always the finest steak,\u201d the Austrian-born restaurateur revealed to AFP, while grilling a succulent tomahawk during a press preview on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In a city where diet pills are commonplace, Puck humorously mentioned that Hollywood’s notoriously weight-conscious stars can opt for their Miyazaki beef \u201cwith Ozempic instead of spinach\u201d if they wish.<\/p>\n

For a celebration of this magnitude, quantities are crucial: Puck estimated that 1,200 of his signature chicken pot pies will need 50 pounds (22kg) of black truffles, accompanied by 70 pounds of caviar, 1,000 servings of macaroni and cheese, and over 200 pounds of tomahawk steak.<\/p>\n

Sushi station<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A new sushi station<\/a> will have five chefs creating handrolls and nigiri.<\/p>\n

Piper-Heidsieck champagne and Dassai sake will be on offer, paired with wines from Domaine Clarence Dillon, alongside movie-themed Don Julio tequila cocktails.<\/p>\n

This year’s selections feature the \u201cBest in Show,\u201d the \u201cGolden Cut Margarita,\u201d the \u201cMaestro Martini,\u201d and \u201cThe Sequel,\u201d which is adorned with gold vanilla edible paint along its edge.<\/p>\n

These Mexican and Italian-inspired drinks are crafted by Lorenzo Antinori, co-founder of Hong Kong\u2019s esteemed Bar Leone, who has traveled to participate in the event.<\/p>\n

Golden chocolate statuettes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As is tradition, dessert will be complemented by thousands of golden chocolate statuettes, ensuring everyone can take home an Oscar.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe the reason they are so beloved is that obtaining a real Oscar is quite difficult, isn\u2019t it?\u201d chef Garry Larduinat shared with AFP.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo having a chocolate one to take home and say \u2018I was there,\u2019 that’s very special. It\u2019s unique,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the only location where you can obtain one.\u201d<\/p>\n
