If we ran the SAG Awards, we would add one more category to the list: best performance by an appetizer at the after-party. Choosing a winner, however? This year, it would be an extremely
close call. Saturday’s post-awards Gala, hosted by PEOPLE and the Entertainment Industry Foundation, featured a dazzling spread of two-bite dishes from celebrity chef WOLFGANG PUCK. Puck
Instagrammed the menu highlights, asking readers which dish they’d want to try most. This embed is invalid “Braised pork belly empanadas with charred jalapeño onion jam, cilantro creme,” the
chef captioned this shot. “Which dish from the @peoplemag / EIF #SAGAwardsGala would you want to try? @peoplegreatideas @sagawards” This embed is invalid This truffle grilled cheese with
fig jam, which Puck called “catering comfort food,” gets our vote. This embed is invalid Tart grapefruit and spicy chili gave each spoonful of this tuna crudo a serious pop of flavor. This

a serving of creamy mashed potatoes with crème fraîche and caviar. This embed is invalid We could probably down a few dozen of these fried rice balls! Each one is filled with duck confit
and served in a cream made from Manchego cheese. This embed is invalid For the vegans in the crowd: “#Vegan potstickers with citrus ponzu!” Puck wrote. Stars at the party were also treated
to a lineup of signature cocktails created by Patrón, including the Ultimat Statue, a tangy mix of vodka, pomegranate juice and OJ with a sugared rim, and the Patrón Award, a fruit-forward
tequila cocktail (recipe below). Shake one up tonight! LET’S PUT THIS TO A CROWD VOTE: WHAT DISH OR DRINK SOUNDS THE MOST DELICIOUS TO YOU? THE PATRÓN AWARD _Makes 1_ 1.5 oz. tequila 1.5 oz.
