Ideal dinner party location…

“It’s Christmas – we’re looking for opulence, a certain timelessness. We’re either booking out the first night in Dracula’s castle (he always lays it on thick) or the Hindenburg, pre-explosion.”

Ideal dinner party playlist…

“When we need a festive playlist there’s one place we turn to: Tom Zahir’s A Very Decatur Christmas. Put on Michael McDonald’s Christmas on the Bayou and let les bons temps rouler!”

Ideal dinner party guest…

“This is easy, the ghost of Christmas Present from The Muppet Christmas Carol. Even Scrooge likes him, and he dies of old age after a few hours so he can’t outstay his welcome.”

The best dishes to serve…

“It can be hard to deviate from the Christmas dinner canon this time of year, and that means it can be hard to be memorable. Our advice is: flambé. Whether wrong or right, people don’t forget.”

The best drink/cocktail accompaniment…

“Probably hot buttered rum if you’re at Draculas. He never drinks wine.”
