Chef Eric Klein, Senior Vice President Culinary, Wolfgang Puck Catering – Governors Ball Part 2

We first introduced Chef Eric Klein to the listeners of the “SoCal Restaurant Show” when he was the high-profile Executive Chef and Partner of Spago Las Vegas in the Forum Shops. Later Chef Eric transitioned (with a major promotion) to Senior Vice President Culinary – Partner at Wolfgang Puck Catering based at The Dolby Theater in Hollywood. Every year for over three-decades Wolfgang Puck Catering has had the honor and great responsibility of providing all celebratory food and beverage for the prestigious Governors Ball following the Academy Awards ceremony. 2026 is the 32nd year of Wolfgang Puck Catering creating the incredible menu for the Governors Ball. Chef Wolfgang and his team crafted a bevy of new dishes to add to the eye-popping menu. As for the past several years this luxe menu was created by Wolfgang Puck and Eric Klein and executed on Oscar Night by the global culinary team of WPC. This year the Oscars return to the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on Sunday, March 15th. Chef Eric Klein takes an added break from his active kitchens to stay with us continuing his menu preview.It takes an incredibly talented team of 75 savory chefs and 45 pastry chefs to support the Governors Ball! In terms of ingredients how about 1,000 pounds of premium chocolate and 30 pounds of Kaluga Caviar?
