Academy Awards Pampered Chef Show

[seasidekitchen]

I am doing a show on the day of the Oscars and am looking for ideas for food to make and fun names to call the food just for that day. I am already working on an Oscar trivia quiz but want to know what other ideas are out there. Has anyone done a similar show in past years?

Rolling out the REd Carpet for our new productsI am doing a pre-Oscar party that day. The theme is rolling out the red carpet for our new products. I really haven't specified the things that I am making, but we will be doing a celebrity game. Everyone will get a sticker on their back with a famous actress/actor. Now, I'm thinking, Glenn Close...the knife in Fatal ATtraction, Janet Leigh...again..that whole shower knife thing. Hmm...one I think about it, I'm sure that I'll come up with some non-murderous ones. People will put their names in a drawing when they come in (not the door prize slips though) When it's time to draw a winner, I will pull out FIVE names...those are the nominees. Then we'll choose one winner...and they'll have to give an acceptance speech. I am also going to set up a table with the "retiring" products. It will be draped in black and I'll do a very somber "In memoriam" just like they do for the actors and actresses who die during the year. I will post more as I pull it all together. Oh..I am also having a Mary Kay lady there...she's going to be doing glamour eyes on people.

It's going to be a riot!

Hi there! I haven't done a show on the day of the Oscars before, but I have some ideas for food and fun names that you could use. For appetizers, you could make "Red Carpet Rolls" (sushi rolls with red tuna or shrimp), "Hollywood Hills Hummus" (hummus with a sprinkle of paprika on top), and "Award-Winning Wings" (spicy chicken wings). For main dishes, you could have "Golden Globe Grilled Cheese" (grilled cheese with gold-colored cheese), "Oscar-Worthy Pasta" (pasta with a rich and creamy sauce), and "Critic's Choice Chicken" (roasted chicken with a flavorful rub). For desserts, you could have "Best Picture Brownies" (fudgy brownies with gold sprinkles on top), "Movie Star Macarons" (colorful macarons in the shape of movie stars), and "Blockbuster Bites" (popcorn balls with chocolate and caramel drizzle). As for fun names, you could have "The Meryl Streep Special" (a dish that changes every year to reflect her versatility as an actress), "The Leo DiCaprio Delight" (a decadent dish that represents his long-awaited Oscar win), and "The Brad Pitt Platter" (a variety of finger foods to represent his many roles). Hope these ideas help!
