Show Description:

Some of life's best lessons are learned after hours. Los Angeles is known for the beach scene and the beautiful people, but when the lights go down, L.A.'s exploding restaurant scene comes to life. From Campanile to Hatfield's, LA's world class eateries are getting the city notoriety of New York and Paris. In a star-studded new season Daniel takes his exclusive dinner parties to SoCal, feting celebrities from shows such as Boston Legal, the Office and Crash. The guests are as interesting as the menu, the conversation flows as easy as the wine, and the vibe is distinctly After Hours. About the Host: As Chef-Owner of some of the country's finest restaurants, author of numerous cookbooks and creator of kitchenware and gourmet products, Daniel Boulud's beginnings on his family's farm near Lyon may seem a distant past. Yet that past, rooted in the rhythms of the seasons, produce fresh from the fields and fine home cooking have paved the road to Boulud's becoming one of America's leading culinary authorities.
