The 2025 Academy Awards showcased not only the best in film but also the best in fine dining, mixology, and—yes—fast food indulgence. Whether sipping on handcrafted tequila cocktails, savoring truffle-infused dishes, or grabbing a post-ceremony burger, Hollywood’s biggest stars dined in style.

Because at the end of the day, even Oscar winners need a good meal.

A Gourmet Feast at the Governors Ball

For the 31st year in a row, Chef Wolfgang Puck led the charge at the Governors Ball, the official Oscars after-party, serving up an extravagant selection of dishes that balanced classic Hollywood indulgence with modern sophistication.

Some of the standout dishes included:
🍽️ Smoked Salmon on Oscar-shaped Matzo Crackers – A timeless favorite that pays homage to the golden statuette.
🍽️ Cacio e Pepe Mac & Cheese – A rich, comforting take on the Italian classic.
🍽️ Chicken Pot Pie with Black Truffles – A celebrity-favorite, rumored to be Barbra Streisand’s go-to dish.
🍽️ Potato Pavé with Steak Tartare – A luxurious, layered potato dish topped with delicately seasoned beef.
🍽️ Loaded Tater Tots with Crème Fraîche and Caviar – The perfect fusion of casual and high-end dining.

Of course, no celebration is complete without dessert. Guests indulged in Oscar-shaped Piña Colada éclairs, handcrafted pastries, and customizable chocolate Oscars, ensuring a sweet ending to the night.

Star-Approved Cocktails & Luxury Beverages

A night of Hollywood magic calls for drinks that are just as glamorous as the red carpet itself. Tequila Don Julio was the star of the show, offering specially crafted cocktails such as:

🍸 The Clear Winner – A tequila-based drink with tamarind, flor de Jamaica tea, and lime, served with a mini Oscar figurine encased in ice.
🍸 Standing Ovation – A bold mix of tequila, espresso, fig syrup, and smoked salt water for a refined caffeine kick.
🍸 Class Act – A smooth blend of tequila, lemon juice, and milk.
🍸 Golden Age Gimlet – A sophisticated mix of tequila, rosemary-infused Lillet Blanc, and apple cordial.

To complement the gourmet menu, the event also featured Champagne Lallier, Domaine Clarence wines, and sake from Asahi Shuzo, adding an international touch to the celebration.

Conan O’Brien’s Snack Surprise

Inside the Dolby Theatre, guests didn’t go hungry either—thanks to Oscars host Conan O’Brien, who took a playful approach by providing every attendee with a snack box under their seat. Each box contained:
🥨 A pretzel
💧 A bottle of water

A note attached to the snack package joked about keeping the audience hydrated and entertained during the lengthy ceremony, proving that even Hollywood’s biggest night doesn’t take itself too seriously.

The After-Party In-N-Out Run

Despite the luxurious meals at the Governors Ball, In-N-Out Burger once again became the true late-night Oscars tradition. As the night wound down, celebrities traded in their designer gowns and tuxedos for something far more relatable—a cheeseburger and fries.

Every year, images of A-listers enjoying a double-double in their red-carpet attire flood social media, proving that no matter how fancy the Oscars get, some cravings are universal.
