Wolfgang Puck Creates a Menu of Fine Oscar Treats with Edible Gold Dust

It's not a surprise that Wolfgang Puck was chosen again to create this year's Oscar treats for the Governors Ball after-party.

Puck will show off his award-worthy menu at the 86th Academy Awards Governors Ball, which will serve everything from comfort food to vegetarian dishes to gold-infused desserts. The Oscar treats menu will feature Oscar statue-shaped delicacies, smoked salmon ‘Oscar’ matzo hors d'oeuvres, spicy tuna tartar in a sesame miso cone, wild salmon with ginger and almonds, chicken pot pie with shaved black truffles and of course the Hollywood-themed cake celebrating the celebrity chef's 20th year making mouth-watering Oscar treats for the Governors Ball.

“It’s a little bit like ‘The Best of Wolfgang,’ so I think it’s really exciting for us,” says Puck.
