Who is Oscars 2023 chef Wolfgang Puck? Puck's Oscars menu explored

Born in Sankt Veit an der Glan, Austria, Wolfgang Puck is one of the most revered chefs across the globe. He trained as an apprentice under Raymond Thuilier at L'Oustau de Baumanière in Les Baux-de-Provence, at Hôtel de Paris in Monaco, and Maxim's Paris before moving to the United States, where he received great success and recognition.

Puck has since then been one of the most consistent and well-respected chefs in the United States of America.

Speaking about the Oscars menu, Puck told Vice:

"People will be celebrating so they’ll be more open to it and it’s only a four-biter. I might get away with it – maybe."

Among this exquisite menu, there will be trifle with sherry, topped with a maraschino cherry and Puck's version of beef wellington. Puck also revealed a series of dishes while speaking about the menu. He said:

"We have five kinds of pasta, from agnolotti to pasta with truffles, vegan pizzas, the Chinese-spiced, Hunan eggplant over rice and a vegetarian version of West Hollywood’s Merois restaurant’s crispy rice crab salad."
