As the official caterers for the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party for the 15 th year, Chef Wayne Elias will create a unparalleled five-course dining experience at West Hollywood Park on Sunday, February 24, 2019.


This one-thousand-meal massive undertaking will be seamlessly executed in three hours by a team of over 150 Crumble Catering staffers tasked with serving Hollywood’s biggest A-listers.
 
When it comes to a mouth-watering and inspiring cuisine, Chef Wayne and his business partner of 28 years Chris Diamond, co-owners of Crumble Catering and the Los Feliz restaurant Rockwell: Table & Stage, are truly Hollywood’s “go-to” team. Diamond remarked, “We love creating a magical experience for the Foundation guests – as it is not only a celebratory night for Hollywood, but a vital cause-driven night for raising funds!”
 
The planning for this year’s party literally commences at the conclusion of the previous year. Chef Wayne works hand-in-hand with Diamond and his team of sous-chefs and the Foundation to create a one-of-a-kind-menu for the festive gathering of VIPs and donors.
 
As in the past, this sumptuous five-course dinner will be served on-site with mammoth digital screens
broadcasting the Oscar telecast live, while fund-raising activities happen during commercial-breaks.
West Hollywood Park is literally transformed into fantasy city-within-a-city, with a sprawling array of
custom-built connecting pavilions featuring sparkling custom one-night-only décor, state of the art
lighting, projection, and displays. The army of 150 servers and bartenders are supplemented by a kitchen
staff of 70 to make the split-second timing and execution for the night simply flawless.
 
Elias commented, “We are excited to lead the way this year with a menu that will delight the senses and please the palates of this discerning and generous group of patrons.” Adding, “It truly is one of the most exciting moments for my team and always a night to remember, knowing that so many individuals are benefiting around the globe.”
 
Since 1992, the Elton John AIDS Foundation has raised over $400 million for people affected by the epidemic, helping prevent infections, provide treatment and services, and motivate governments to end AIDS.
