Everyone goes home with an Oscar at the Governors Ball — a chocolate one dipped in gold leaf.
New to the mix is a food station featuring Britain’s iconic Beef Wellington. “We always try to have different people work with us,” explains Puck. This year executive chef Elliott Grover of London’s CUT restaurant at the 45 Park Lane Hotel will present his version of the traditional dish of beef fillet wrapped in a savory mushroom mixture and baked in puff pastry.
Some 115 chefs from across Puck’s global restaurant empire work the event, with 10 designated cooks ready to handle any additional dietary requests. Among the many past memorable individual orders were a special pasta for director Martin Scorsese and a steamed whole fish with ginger, scallion and bok choy for “Brokeback Mountain” director Ang Lee.
As with 2022’s go-around, the ballroom will be configured as a luxurious lounge rather than seating arranged at formally set, grand banquet tables. “You can sit with the people you like,” says Puck. There will be close to two dozen tray-passed starters alongside the small plates and overflowing dessert tables. Ice cream served in made-to-order waffle cones and salted caramel mocha Oscar chocolate eclairs are among the sweet delights.
