Golden Globe Awards 2012 Menu Preview (PHOTOS)

Think of these dishes as the food that stars will almost choke on when they get an earful of Ricky Gervais' edgy monologue during the Golden Globes.

Executive chef Suki Sugiura and pastry chef Thomas Henzi of the Beverly Hilton Hotel unveiled the 2012 Golden Globe Awards menu on Thursday to a kitchen packed with cameras and journalists. According to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the dishes took six months to conceptualize are centered on the theme of "Global Food Harmony" to reflect the "global nature" of the awards.

On the day of the event, it'll take 40 chefs and 110 kitchen staffers to prepare dinner for 1,300 guests, according to BizBash. That's a lot of blowtorches.

The 2012 Golden Globe Awards Menu

Appetizer: Pistachio crusted pistou ravioli with wild arugula served with smoked tomato, kabocha compote and burrata

Entree: Miso and sake lees marinated pacific sea bass with grilled king oyster mushroom and braised prime short rib of beef. To be served with porcini pine nut herb ragout in a light cream of sherry wine ginger tamari sauce and roasted fingerling potatoes, candy striped beets, baby bok choy and yellow baby carrots.

Dessert: A trio: chocolate delice almond crunch terrine and acacia honey, caramel and fresh berries, paired with a Moet & Changdon Grand Vintage 2002 magnum specially created for the event.

Consider the bar set for ambitious homecooks hosting an awards show viewing party. Here's where to buy the edible gold flakes in Los Angeles.

Lovely food! I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy just sitting and watching those who have stuffing themselves while they try to stretch their grocery dollars to cover paycheck to paycheck. I don't want to see the awards show I want to watch the gorging on expensive food and the drinking of good drink!

You'd think someone would have some common sense given the current state of the economy.

sea Bass?
the sea bass hasn't existed for over 30 years
sea bass now is just a generic name for whatever fish they can catch
sea bass is banned at many restaurants
the golden globes needs to do the same

If the Occupy people are so angry about greedy, why don't they occupy award shows?

It's because the people themselves decide to pay voluntarily for Hollywood/films/Television. The banks are making money by fraud; stealing people's money...Thus, becoming rich.

And when you go to work Monday morning won't you feel just sooo warm inside knowing that these millionaires had a meal that you couldn't afford?

No alternative entree for vegetarians?

And what is «Moet & Changdon»?… Maybe a counterfeit Moët & Chandon made in China… like the Louis Vuitton bags? -- Beware: Moët & Chandon and Louis Vuitton belong to the same combative conglomerate…

"Appetizer: Pistachio crusted pistou ravioli with wild arugula served with smoked tomato, kabocha compote and burrata"

Looks like the antipasto alone is already several thousand calories worth. I'm sure I'd be full after that.

"Moet & Changdon Grand Vintage 2002"

Are the French starting to outsource Champagne to China? ;)

Years ago I remember reading about a scandal involving the Hollywood Foreign Press. Apparently some members were selling their tickets to third parties for several thousand dollars. I don't know if it's still going on (or even if it's against their rules, certainly not the apex of ethics...), but aside from that, I don't have much faith in a what a mere 100 foreign journalists (many of them as old as Methuselah and some even pretending to be foreign, so I'm told...) decide it's best. At least the people voting for the Academy Awards are in excess of 6,000, making the results a bit more credible.

If we can take seriously the «Sexiest Man Alive» from People Magazine (…!), we can accept the Golden Globe too.

Why would anyone want to eat gold? Makes no sense!

Everything looks so appetizing... Love artfully presented food.

Does anyone remember when short-ribs was an inexpensive, tough meat that your mom (dad, in my case) would cook (now, it called braised) for hours.

Who cares. The main ingredient for a great Golden Globes show is alcohol.

They say half the effect is presentation. And I give the presentation only a B-. Admittedly, this is something they have to throw together for *thirteen hundred patrons* at the same time, So some corners must be cut for the sake of expediency. The trick is to make it 'look' expensive while still making a profit.

If that's the menu, I'm glad we're not invited. I'll stick with our BBQ wings and oven fries, thanks. Too fancy for me!
