PBS' foodie/travel series "Moveable Feast With Fine Cooking" returns for its fourth season this week with a visit to one of the nation's richest and most exciting new culinary destinations. In the episode premiering Saturday, Sept. 3 (check local listings), host Pete Evans joins chefs/restaurateurs Curtis Stone and Francis Derby for an exploration of the culinary mecca of Los Angeles. In creating an extravagant pig roast, Stone and Derby stop in at the Santa Monica Farmer's Market and Logan's Gardens in Silver Lake to gather ingredients. Stone then whips up a fresh peach mustard for his fennel-rubbed pig, while Derby prepares a spread of mixed charcuterie, raw vegetables and duck rillettes. Held at a scenic location in Silver Lake, it's a feast fit for a director's level supporter. And all ingredients – pig included – were locally sourced, Stone says. "We go ... straight to the people who grow the stuff," he says. "I've got a pretty big garden myself so we grow a lot of our own vegetables. And I've got a buddy, Jimmy Williams, who has an incredible little nursery in Silver Lake and he grows seedlings and sells them at the farmer's market, so we went down to see him at his nursery and got a bunch of really unique leaves ... . So he's helped me with my gardening endeavors at home for the restaurant and yeah, we got some stuff from his nursery." Of course, with a year-round growing season, Southern California produce has always been plentiful and of top quality. But it's only recently, Stone explains, that the rest of the region's food scene has caught up. "I think it was one of the most boring cities in the country until 15 years ago and now I think it's probably the most exciting," he says. "We, of course, have the best ingredients when it comes to produce and I think maybe where we were lacking a little was the protein side of things here in L.A. and we've sort of endeavored to change some of that with the new butcher shop we've opened in Hollywood and opening up different lines of direct farmer relationships that we can get good quality stuff." What book are you currently reading? "I'm reading 'Raising Boys.' (Laughs) I've got two little kids so it doesn't leave a lot of time for reading but that's sort of something that I'm definitely reading and catching up on. … It's good fun being a parent but sometimes you need a bit of guidance and help." What did you have for dinner last night? "Last night, I ate family meal at the restaurant. I have that at five o'clock before the service kicks off, so we made Bolognese sauce with penne pasta, beautiful garlic bread and a salad. Pretty simple but pretty delicious." What is your next project? "Well, I'm pretty neck-deep in this new restaurant, Gwen, so we're just sort of getting in there. We've only been open for three weeks, so we're sort of just continuing to try and refine and evolve what we do." When was the last vacation you took, where and why? "We went to a place called Sayulita in Mexico and that was over the New Year break. It's sort of an hour (north) of Puerto Vallarta. You fly in there and then drive (north) to this beautiful little sort of surfy, hippy town."
