Darren Star Dishes on Cooking Up Iconic Television Shows, From Sex and the City, to 90210, to Melrose Place, plus his latest, Emily in Paris

Katie talks with Darren Star, creator and producer of zeitgeist-defining television series like Sex and The City, Beverly Hills, 90210, and Melrose Place, plus the international hit, Emily in Paris. Darren serves up some secrets of the new season of Emily in Paris, including filming in locations like Megève and Rome. He talks about the cast’s love of Paris, their favorite restaurants to visit while filming, and what catering is like on a French set (heavy on the desserts) vs. an Italian set (heavy on the pasta).

Darren shares that his personal connection to food has helped to set the scene for his television series over the years. Whether it’s the Peach Pit in 90210 or one of the many NYC restaurants in Sex and the City, dining out gives the characters a time to come together.

Plus, Darren shares his method for grilling the perfect steak, some of his favorite things to do in the Hamptons, and that time Candice Bushnell baked him Ina Garten’s chocolate cake for his birthday.

Bon appetit!

Our Shows
Over 50 & Flourishing
Welcome to Over 50 & Flourishing, the show for any woman who feels like she lost her compass in the sea of midlife. I’m here to tell you it’s never too late to change your course and awaken the healthy, wise, and wonderful woman within. My name is Dominique Sachse, and I love to ask questions, which was why I spent nearly three decades of my life in the TV news business. I also started a YouTube channel in 2014 to connect intimately with my community, and I took an even deeper dive in my book Life Makeover - Embrace The Bold, Beautiful and Blessed You. I’ll be the first to say, I’ve made mistakes, and I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and learn from them. I mean let’s face it, this stage of life can be complicated. Children are moving out, relationships are being examined, our parents are aging, and we’re having to manage all of this along with our menopause! It’s easy to lose sight of ourselves, but can I just say.. we matter. So, whether it’s finding ways to enhance and celebrate our own beauty, taking bold steps toward living our best life in the second half of life, finding ways to be healthier, happier, and more spiritually connected, I will bring you thinkers and innovators who share the same passion of flushing out these ideas. It’s my goal to leave us all feeling inspired, thought and intent-driven, and with a sense of purpose in whatever we pursue. Let’s celebrate growing older together and embrace our Prime. It’s our time!
