THE Blvd at The Beverly Wilshire introduces the Awards Season Croissant: Inspired by the film reel motif etched on Oscars statuettes, this delicacy crafted by Executive Pastry Chef Riccardo Menicucci symbolizes the interconnection of the Academy’s original five branches – actors, directors, producers, technicians, and writers. The croissant, filled with dulce de leche and almonds, is embellished with 24-carat gold, symbolizing the esteemed gold-plated statuette.
MR. CHOW tantalizes with the Ma Mignon and aka MR CHOW Cocktail: To commemorate the release of Michael Chow’s HBO documentary, this signature cocktail features an enticing blend of tequila, Aperol, elderflower syrup, fresh lemon juice, and Laurent Perrier Rosé champagne, paired with Ma Mignon – a marinated, thinly sliced filet topped with a savory sauce.
Ocean Prime in Beverly Hills serves up the Red Carpet Carpaccio: The Beef Carpaccio, delicately cured in a bonito-infused soy sauce, is elegantly presented like the red carpet itself in the center of the plate.
