The 91st Oscars is almost upon us (airing 5:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT on Sunday, February 24), and the full culinary lineup for Governors Ball (the official post-Oscars celebration) designed by Wolfgang Puck and Eric Klein, vice president of culinary at Wolfgang Puck Catering, has been revealed. It’s the 25th consecutive year the company is catering the event, and a release notes the culinary offerings pair “glamour with innovation.”

Signature guest favorites like Smoked Salmon Oscars, Potato and Caviar 2.0, and Winter Truffle Baked Cavatappi and Cheese will be served alongside new items including Heirloom Carrot “Tartare,” Vegan Torchio Pasta with Arugula, Tomato and Caper Berries, and Nashville Hot Fried Quail with Red Velvet Waffle.

On the sweet side of things, pastry team Kamel Guechida, Garry Larduinat and Jason Lemmonier are planning an assortment of three dozen “show-stopping desserts,” from the popular 24K Gold Dusted Chocolate Oscars to Golden Piper Heidsieck Champagne and Strawberry Push-Up Pops, plus action stations like Affogato with Housemade Ice Cream and Stumptown Nitro Cold Brew.
