Overview
- Puck returns for his 32nd year leading the Academy’s official after-party, co-running the kitchen with his son Byron Lazaroff-Puck.
- A team of more than 120 chefs and hundreds of staff will execute multiple stations, including an izakaya sushi setup, steak frites, wood-fired pizzas and a slider bar.
- The menu blends crowd favorites with luxe touches, featuring truffle chicken pot pie, macaroni and cheese, smoked-salmon Oscar bites, mini Wagyu burgers and Kaluga caviar.
- Service is choreographed to the live show, with items such as chicken pot pie going into ovens during the Best Director segment so they reach guests hot minutes later.
- Tequila Don Julio returns for a ninth year with signature cocktails by Charles Joly and Lorenzo Antinori, and roughly 3,000 edible-gold chocolate Oscar statues are set for guests to take home.
