Craig Case, host of The Inn Crowd, and Chef Michael Hutchings welcomes Milt Larsen to The Inn Crowd show. Milt is the proprietor of the Magic Castle in Hollywood. THE MAGIC CASTLE, the clubhouse of the Academy of Magical Arts, is private, allowing entrance only to members and their guests, or through courtesy invitations which are available to magicians visiting from out of the United States.
A typical evening—if there even is such a thing here—features magic shows that range from miracles right under your nose to full stage illusions that stun an entire room. The Castle is full of rare memorabilia and magnificent posters, so there’s a lot to see. There’s also a critically acclaimed, full-service dining room featuring a truly magical view of Hollywood and a number of unique bars, each with its own personality, making it easy to find just the perfect spot for whatever mood you’re in.
Don’t be surprised to look over your shoulder and find somebody performing a minor miracle. You’ll soon understand why your visit will be one of the most amazing evenings you’ve ever experienced.
Originally, Milt was going to pull a rabbit out of a hat for dinner but my wife nixed that. I opted for a holiday centric theme starting with pumpkin soup baked in a mini pumpkin shell. The entree is a riff on turkey, poached instead of roasted, with winter garnishes. Dessert is a twist on pecan pie that my pastry chef wife Christine Dahl makes. The magic is an addition of chocolate. We feature some terrific wines from the Foley Family Wines to compliment the dinner.
Join is on The Inn Crowd Saturdays at 9:30 on ABC affiliate KEY channel 3. View the show on-line at the Santa Barbara News Press. Look to the right side of the web page for a link to the show. YTS Digital Films filmed and directed this show. Beginning on December 19, 2015, the show will air at 6:30 and this seasons shows will rerun starting in January in case you missed an episode.
Put on your apron, grab your whisk and fire up the oven and don't forget your top hat and cape. I'll provide the recipes and a little magic, the rest is up to you. See you on the kitchen.
A special thanks to The Berry Man Produce for providing the great produce for our show!
