In last week's episode Leo and Chef Jamie gave a quick background on James Beard and the James Beard House, and they revealed how one can get invited there to prepare a meal for its guests. Jamie has done this twice now, so he's got a first-hand perspective of what setting up a dinner at this prestigious place looks like, and he'll be sharing these experiences today in Part 2 of this special series.
In this episode you'll hear Jamie's thought process on the big day, and a bit about the logistics that were required to pull it off (along with some important help he received from others). He also shares about an unexpected detour, how they got around it and why it's so important to be super organized and plan for everything when setting up a dinner at the James Beard House.
Don't forget to tune in next week as the guys will be talking about what Jamie actually cooked at the James Beard House. Leo has some more questions about this, and I'm sure you do too!

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
