Hostess with the most lady! Lady Byrd Café owner Misty Mansouri is gearing up for the holiday season, and to celebrate, she sat down with ET to share her holiday party essentials.
For starters, Mansouri believes that serving easy, delicious dishes is the way to go, and she takes that approach at her own Los Angeles, California-based restaurant.
“Guests can expect sophisticated comfort foods with beautiful and fresh ingredients that work together to create simple, yet delightful and delicious dishes,” he shares.
Some menu must-haves: “Our short rib served over mashed potatoes, steaks, seafood risotto, hot soups and chicken Milanese are seasonal favorites.”
When it comes to decorating, Mansouri embraces the “the more the merrier” mentality.
“We’re loaded with ornate Christmas trees, fluorescent lights, traditional color palettes and plush bows with fireplaces and cozy, cozy blankets,” she explains.
If you can’t make it to the restaurant, Mansouri says you can still get into the spirit at home.
“Get upgrades with your dress code and outfit. It’s the perfect time for furs, beautiful wool and cashmere,” she explains.
And to avoid any hosting mistakes, Mansouri recommends prioritizing the needs of the party.
“It’s going to be a cold winter, so make sure you have plenty of ways to keep your guests warm. You should also offer alternatives to alcoholic beverages like fun mocktails,” she suggests.
