Emmy Awards Governors Ball to Feature ‘Assortment of Plant-Based Dishes’
The Governors Ball following the 70th Annual Emmy Awards this year will feature the “most impressive menu yet,” packed with plant-based options.
Patina Catering, which has catered the event for 22 years, stated on Instagram:
“We will be serving an assortment of plant-based dishes at the @televisionacad’s 70th annual Emmy® Awards Governors Ball this year! Who wants to try this Cashew “Ceviche” cup?!”
The company added that the menu will include over 35 “different fine-dining small plates,” using “biodegradable wooden boats and forks.”
According to Food & Wine,
“New on the menu this year will be more vegetarian and vegan items, including a cashew ceviche with lime-marinated cashew, hearts of palm, cucumber, leche de tigre, avocado mousse, and crispy blue corn; sweet corn agnolotti with lime brown butter and toasted hazelnuts; and truffle-scented French fries.”
Vegan celebrities Thandie Newton and Benedict Cumberbatch will be in attendance.
The 70th Annual Emmy Awards is set to take place on Monday September 17.
In 2016, the after party of the 88th annual Academy Awards featured a vegan menu and in both 2016 and 2017, the ceremony for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards also included a plant-based menu.
