When Richard Chai isn't chowing down at Indochine, his frond-walled second abode, he's hosting pals and kin alike for the holidays. Can we get an invite next year, s'il vous plaît?

Family and friends! I do a family thing during the day, and then my friends who don't have a place to go usually come over to my place at night.

Sounds like a rollicking party!

Nope, it's just a late dinner.

Are you adept in the kitchen?

I don't really cook, unfortunately.

What's your favorite

I'm a big foodie, so anything that tastes good. Nothing specific!

OK, since you're a foodie...one of your NYC gastronomic faves, please!

There are those classic institutions that I love; I just had dinner at Indochine.

Love that iconic wallpaper; would you ever crib that leafy print for your apartment?

No, I'll leave that to Indochine so I at least have a place to go as a home away from home!
