Netflix facilitated a closer connection between the 2025 SAG Awards and audiences at home; however, it was the culinary offerings that truly attracted celebrities to the event, overshadowing the trophies and fashion elements.

Renowned chef David Chang was responsible for designing and curating the exquisite menu for the 31st annual Screen Actors Guild Awards held on Sunday, February 23. Catering for such a prestigious occasion presents significant challenges, particularly given that the venue may not be conducive to culinary preparations.

In spite of the constraints, American chef and restaurateur David Chang embraced the opportunity to deliver an exceptional dining experience, opting for creativity over convenience. He is well-known for his appearances on Netflix original series such as Ugly Delicious, The Chef Show, Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, and Dinner Time Live with David Chang.

Menu for the 2025 SAG Awards

Prior to the highly anticipated award ceremony, the founder of Momofuku provided a glimpse of the culinary offerings that would be presented at the event. This year’s SAG Awards featured an array of delectable dishes, including Momofuku Cold Fried Chicken served with white BBQ sauce, a Kimbap Duo featuring either salmon or vegetables, pickled vegetables, honey butter chips, and Bianco’s pizza, as reported by The Mirror US.

David Chang provided insights into his innovative menu during the SAG Awards Media Preview & Menu Reveal. He expressed that while conceptualizing his remarkable and delectable ideas was a creative endeavour, the execution posed significant challenges. He remarked, "I feel like we got a great team in place; it’s not always easy to cook in a place that doesn’t have a kitchen. We wanted to create a menu that allowed us to exceed expectations."

Korean dish, special pizza et all

Regarding his unique interpretation of the awards night dining experience, the Michelin-starred Executive Chef for the SAG Awards shared with the New York Post, "The cocktail hour will feature our take on a slider accompanied by honey butter chips. The main course will consist of pulled fried chicken served with kimbap, a Korean dish that is essentially a rice roll, making it quite accessible for guests."

For the dessert course, he collaborated with his friend Chef Chris Bianco, who operates a restaurant at the ROW. "He makes the best pizza in the world," David praised, confirming that his friend had specially crafted a pizza for the Sunday event.

At the SAG Awards 2025, beverages were also a highlight. Despite the casual atmosphere, the offerings had a distinctive flair thanks to Chang’s expertise. His restaurant, Momofuku, featured Cooper’s Hawk wine, available in the varieties Artist’s Red Blend and Artist’s White Blend.

The 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards were characterized as a “Love Letter to Los Angeles” following the recent devastating wildfires that impacted the city. The event was broadcast live on Netflix on Sunday at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST/5:30 a.m. IST, with Kristen Bell, the star of Nobody Wants This, returning as the host.

In addition, Sofia Carson and Noah Centineo served as ambassadors for the evening, not only highlighting the significance of the event and fostering connections with fans but also making notable contributions to support the SAG-AFTRA Foundation.
