“I’m intentional and I try to be intentional with my time,” said Curtis. “I try to be present in every moment just to really savor it. And I think the true luxury, the only real luxury we have left is time. And because it’s so fleeting, we want to experience moments and cherish every drop, every single drop out of every moment. And so tonight we are going to do that.”

“We’re going to take it slow, and we’re going to enjoy some really great food,” he added ahead of the night’s dinner of lamb shoulder, Za’atar crusted Branzino, and pomegranate peppercorn glazed chicken. “And it’s going to be exceptional.”

Curtis went on to stress the importance of celebrating life’s finer intricacies, something he wanted to be the theme of the event.

“The world is absolutely bonkers and we want to have moments where we can just lift things up, celebrate, and have fine moments,” Curtis told BOSSIP “It’s the holiday season. And so we are about to go and be with our loved ones and the people that we’ve chosen to do life with. And I think that those moments are important.”

“In the same way we make and hold space for sad times and things that we don’t really care for and are downers, there’s so many moments that are not downers so we should take those moments and create more of them,” he added. “That’s what we’re doing here tonight, creating one of those moments.”

Ultimately the interior designer shared with BOSSIP his hopes for the Crown Royal 30-centered night of epicurean indulgence.

“I really do hope that our guests experience how special of a moment it is,” said Curtis who’s working on new television projects with his husband. “I really want our guests to walk away having celebrated in the moment that we helped create together. And then also, I’m all about a personal takeaway and a key takeaway. And I know that everyone is going to leave and get something to take away to be able to remember the moment by.”

“And so that’s it,” he added. “Good times, good vibes only.”
