Si aucune information n’a filtré du menu du dîner qui suit la nuit des Césars dans la « brasserie populaire » du Fouquet’s sur les champs Elysées, les américains eux ont largement communiqué sur leur dîner de Gala qui suit la remise des Oscar ce soir dimanche 26 février 2012 ! Pour la 18ème année consécutive, c’est le célèbre chef Wolgang Puck qui est encore en charge du dîner. Il est responsable de la satisfaction de plus de 1500 invités, dont nos frenchy Bérénice Béjo et Jean Dujardin, stars du film « The artist ». Ce soir, le chef Wolgang va innover. Les invités ne seront plus servis à table, mais sous forme de buffets mixés avec un dîner façon cocktail. Le personnel de service circulera parmi les invités en leur proposant des petites assiettes gourmandes ou des plateaux à partager. Les 350 cuisiniers vont proposer un menu world food, sous forme de petites bouchées chics. Les tourtes au poulet garni de truffes noires râpées, les tacos fourrés au homard, tomate et échalote vont côtoyer des sushis, des raviolis de porc à la chinoise, de homard à la mode de Shanghai sauce curry au lit de coco, de l’agneau rôti avec une vinaigrette de coriandre chinoise et de menthe. Comme nous sommes quand même à Hollywood, vous avez constaté que la vulgaire purée d’avocat a été remplacé par du homard dans les tacos, tandis que des feuilles d’or et du caviar vont servir de topping aux pommes de terre. Les desserts seront servis avec des paires de lunettes en 3D ! Voici le menu détaillé. Régalez-vous !
