Who says gourmet dinners require dinner jackets—or even long pants and skirts for that matter? This episode includes linen, elegant place-settings, and such high-end fare as Escargots à la Bourguignonne, Pan-Roasted Duck Breast with Lingonberry Sauce, Truffled Polenta, Cognac-Chocolate Mousse with Maple Chantilly, and good wine. But Tim and his guests will chow down in their shorts and T-shirts. Hey, it’s August and this is laid-back Southern California.
Bon appétit!
