Chef Evan Funke at the Vanity Fair Party | Oscars 2024
Evan Funke, the Chef of the Vanity Fair Party
Beverly Hills, March 5, 2024
The Vanity Fair party after the Oscars ceremony is probably the most coveted invitation in America. Once a year, after the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences have honored the best of those who officiate in the seventh art, it is time to party. The attendance is the pure definition of “star-studded.”
“Pizza is Power” says chef Funke
At that time of the evening, the very happy few are no longer hungry for thank-yous and recognition, but for tangible food. That is when chef Evan Funke makes his culinary entrance with his team. This year, pizza is on the menu — and it is the third time that Funke is the one-and-only chef of the party. Two minutes in an ultra-warm oven and the Italian specialty is ready to be served.
Since I will not be attending the party, I got a preview of the pizzas by chef Evan Funke himself. Watch my exclusive video interview with chef Funke, filmed on the rooftop of Funke restaurant in Beverly Hills, 90210, a few minutes before the sunset. For a moment, I felt like I was in a Hollywood scene.
