Dishes with a backstory
The Inaugural Academy Awards Dinner Menu
The Hollywood Roosevelt hosted the inaugural Academy Awards in 1929, and over its almost 90 years has welcomed illustrious icons through its doors, from Clark Gable, Shirley Temple, Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe who resided there, to Prince and Angelina Jolie. The menu served at the first Oscars was considered very upscale at the time and included dishes such as Consommé Celestine, Filet of Sole Sauté Au Beurre, Half Broiled Chicken on Toast, New String Beans, Long Branch Potatoes, and others. The hotel carries on the tradition of honoring the Academy Awards to this day, serving a modern day Oscars menu. In addition to the Oscar viewing menu, there are cocktails created with an homage to the leading ladies of the silver screen.
