One of the most high profile Oscars after parties is without a doubt the Governors Ball. Famed chef Wolfgang Puck (of Spago fame) will be responsible for the event for the 19th year in a row, and for the 2013 Oscars, he's pulled out all the stops. A-listers obviously have expensive tastes, and Puck knows that. Below, check out the items that will be served up to Hollywood's biggest stars, 1,500 total, right after the main event!

Smoked Salmon Oscars: An iconic recipe that has been served every year that Puck has catered the event. It's a simple dish, with blinis with smoked salmon cut into the shape of an Academy Award, and doused in caviar.
Party Nut Mix: Throughout the event, platters of a homemade party nut mix featuring rosemary and pineapple will be laid out for guests' enjoyment.
Truffle and Parmesan Grissini: Wolfgang Puck's breadbasket isn't stocked with stale sourdough. It has Italian-style breadsticks accessorized with truffles and Parmesan.
Edamame Guacamole: A health-friendly appetizer option is the edamame guacamole, which will be served on seaweed.
Bacon-Wrapped Dates: A classic (and delicious!) option that's always a crowd-pleased.
Smoked Salmon Pizza Cones: Wolfgang Puck doesn't do salmon tartare. He does a tempura cone filled with smoked salmon and smothered in caviar. Caviar is the trend of the night, in case you couldn't tell.

Spicy Tuna Tartare: If you're in the mood for tuna, the spicy tuna tartare is served on sesame miso cones.
Prime Mini Burgers With Cheddar Cheese and Rémoulade: A classic slider with a little kick, you better believe you'll see some skinny A-listers sneaking a tray of these to the bathroom.
Kale Salad: In an attempt to make the menu vegan friendly, Puck is serving up a kale salad tossed with artichokes and lemon vinaigrette.
Smoked Salmon Pizza: Naturally, he'll be serving one of his most popular dishes from Spago. Considering it's a Hollywood favorite, many of the audience members are probably familiar with it.
Chicken Pot Pie: Just because you're squeezing into a couture gown doesn't mean you can't enjoy comfort food. Naturally, it's filled with black truffles, just like mom used to make.
Sushi and Shellfish: There will be fresh platters of sushi and shellfish.
Lobster With Black Bean Sauce: Lobster will be served with a side of snow peas, peppers, and other vegetables in a thick black bean sauce.
Caviar Baked Potato: Does this even need an explanation?
Dessert: The official dessert menu hasn't been announced, but chef Sherry Yard is in charge of all pastries.
Patrón Gold Cosmopolitan: Patrón is the liquor sponsor of the night, and this is the official cocktail.
Champagne Thiénot: Champagne Thiénot is the official sparkling wine of the evening.
