Party like the Chew Crew
Set a casual tone for a Southern Soirée like Carla Hall’s with bandanas ($3 each, bandanas.net) as napkins. Serve glasses of your favorite iced tea on a rustic-chic galvanized metal tray ($15, worldmarket.com).
If you’re throwing Michael Symon’s Cleveland-Style Clambake, stock up on
disposable lobster bibs ($2 for four,
bedbathandbeyond.com).
This oilcloth tablecloth ($60, mexicansugarskull. com) is similar to the ones
Mario Batali uses for his Michigan Beach Party. The rowboat-shaped serving bowl with oar paddles ($65, uncommongoods.com) rounds out
the fish-camp theme.
Tiki torches ($30 for four, tikibrand.com) are a festive summertime classic for a casual Jersey Shore Picnic à la Daphne Oz.
Want to party like Clinton Kelly? A glittering disco ball ($45, amazon.com) sets the tone instantly. And nothing says the ’70s like fondue served up in this sleek stainless-steel
fondue pot
($29, walmart.com).
