Wolfgang Puck knows how to throw an elaborate party with a robust lineup of incredible dishes, so it's no surprise that the LA-based Austrian chef will return to cook for the celebrity-studded post-Oscars' Governors Ball.
For his 29th iteration of the party, Puck will serve a few new items and gave "Good Morning America" an exclusive first look at the menu from his eponymous catering company. This year also marks the 25th anniversary of the legendary restaurateur's catering business.
In addition to innovative small plate stations with crispy rice to order, bao buns, wood-fired pizzas and more, Puck highlighted two new dishes for "GMA" -- a crispy tamarind glazed, asian-style fried chicken and coconut pandan leaf waffles as well as Ma Maison chicken salad served on an endive leaf.
