With Academy Awards time here, it occurs to us that no one has produced a menu for Oscar-watching--certainly a case of serious neglect in the food pages of the daily papers. So, we have taken it as our duty to provide an Oscar Night Menu.
For the cocktail hour: Dean Martinis, Cary Grant Scotch on the Roxy, Harvey Weinstein Wallbangers, and, of course, lots of Goldwasser; plus, for the abstemious, Katy Perrier
Appetizers: Sushi Maclaine, Leonardo DiCapocollo, and Brad Pitt-ed Olives
Salad: Sydney Mixed Greens-treet and Marisa Tomeitoes with Ralph Fiennes Herbs or Martin Balsamic Vinaigrette
Main Course: The obvious choice--Veal Oscar. This combination of veal, asparagus, lobster or crab, and bearnaise sauce was created, it is said, for King Oscar II of Sweden. King Oscar's personal fadeout came in 1907, twenty years before the first Oscars were presented (Best Picture: "Wings." No, not "Chicken Wings.") Even so, Veal Oscar seems correct. (Although some aging Hollywood cowboys are holding out for Stagecoach Stew and Quick Draw Beer.)
Option: Ingmar and Ingrid Bergman Smorgasbord
Wines: Brigitte Bordeaux and Ron Burgundy
Desserts: Kardashian Cheesecake -- Box Office Bombe
Coffee: Al Cappuccino
Bon appetit!
