This one-thousand-meal massive undertaking will be seamlessly executed
in three hours by a team of over 150 Crumble Catering staffers tasked
with serving Hollywood's biggest A-listers.
When it comes to a mouth-watering and inspiring cuisine, Chef Wayne and
his business partner of 28 years Chris Diamond, co-owners of Crumble
Catering and the Los Feliz restaurant Rockwell:
Table & Stage, are truly Hollywood’s “go-to” team.
Diamond remarked, “We love creating a magical experience for the
Foundation guests – as it is not only a celebratory night for Hollywood,
but a vital cause-driven night for raising funds!”
The planning for this year’s party literally commences at the conclusion
of the previous year. Chef Wayne works hand-in-hand with Diamond and his
team of sous-chefs and the Foundation to create a one-of-a-kind-menu for
the festive gathering of VIPs and donors.
As in the past, this sumptuous five-course dinner will be served on-site
with mammoth digital screens broadcasting the Oscar telecast live, while
fund-raising activities happen during commercial breaks.
West Hollywood Park is literally transformed into a fantasy
city-within-a-city, with a sprawling array of custom-built connecting
pavilions featuring sparkling, custom, one-night-only décor,
state-of-the-art lighting, projection, and displays. The army of 150
servers and bartenders are supplemented by a kitchen staff of 70 to make
the split-second timing and execution for the night simply flawless.
Elias commented, “We are excited to lead the way this year with a menu
that will delight the senses and please the palates of this discerning
and generous group of patrons.” Adding, “It truly is one of the most
exciting moments for my team and always a night to remember, knowing
that so many individuals are benefiting around the globe.”
