You might not be in the Beverly Hilton ballroom, but you can certainly dine like you are on the night of the Golden Globes. According to the hotel's executive chef, Troy N. Thompson, this year's awards menu highlights fresh Californian ingredients with a twist. Steak and Waldorf salad are just a few of the tidbits we know about the 2015 menu. Start popping bottles with your guests and cracking open those oysters; we've created a similarly inspired menu for the sparkling occasion.
