They share the SAG Awards philosophy of "going green" in their choices of food purveyors and culinary practices, while offering the attentiveness that a televised awards show requires. Lucques' menu will be complemented by Champagne Taittinger's Brut La Française, which is also served in the Champagne Taittinger Toast that opens the SAG Awards red carpet Special Issue 2012 - SCREEN ACTOR 38
