Following in Anthony Bourdain's beloved and hip footsteps, Chef Curtis Stone is joining a league of fellow chefs who are willing to explore culture and politics through food.
For Curtis, he wants to show and explain where and how he gets his ingredients for his dishes at his restaurants, Maude, Gwen, and his current pop-up deli/cafe, Picnic Society at The Grove.
It was, also, at The Grove, that he choose to promote his PBS/Create tv travel/foodie show, "Field Trip with Curtis Stone" as a classy, gourmet drive-in screening.
Actually, his tv show premiered then aired a year ago.
He's using "Rioja Riscal," his final episode from his first season, from a year ago, as a tasty tidbit to give a taste of what the upcoming second season of his show will be like, that will return in October 2020. "Rioja Riscal" opened the screening. Each episode last 30 minutes.
To prove that the goat milk and goat cheese he uses, is fresh, hilariously Curtis goes to a Spanish goat farm where he milks, squirts, then tastes fresh goat milk, from the udders.
He then finished the tasty screening with Episode 4, Season 1, "The Kimberley," https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yQIv9gVJFA&feature=youtu.be
Since Curtis is an Aussie, it's natural for him to spotlight and highlight his homeland, Australia. "The Kimberley" episode from last year was an introduction to the upcoming second season, chunk full of Aussie episodes highlight different and various Australian towns and cities, regions, and locales, with their own unique tastes and cuisines that he brings back to his Los Angeles restaurants.
Topping the tote bag, are truffle popcorn, two bags of Torres Spanish Potato Chips, waffle cookies, chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies, a jar of caramelized pecan, sunflower crackers, and gourmet pack of two cheeses and fresh fruit, two bottles of Icelandic Water, and for fun, a bag of Sour Patch Kids gummies. Man, that's a dinner for the drive-in screening!
The new normal.
Even during a pandemic and a quarantine and thanks to the human effort to evolve then thrive, if you're still lucky enough to still stick around in LA or more fortune to fly into LA, try to get a Curtis Stone drive-in screening. You wouldn't be disappointed. In fact, with his generous logistics, his gourmet screening may be the new standard for tv and movie screenings as a new form of premiere.
Still safe but a new form of fun.
