Being in London this summer for Jesus Christ Superstar has been so fun, so incredible. But one thing I've learned is that when you're somewhere else for work, you still want to carve out time to actually enjoy where you are. London's an amazing city. I'm here with the family. So between performances, Justin and I have been trying to explore with the kids, find new parks, squeeze in museum visits, make some real family memories while we're here, which as any parent knows, takes a fair amount of planning. And anyone who knows my relationship, knows that's all Justin's territory.
It can sometimes feel hard to plan while you're traveling, when you really just want to go with the flow and see where things take you. But that's not Justin's jam. He is a planner. He likes exploring a new city, especially with the kids. So extra planning makes all the difference. Now, if you're planning travel this summer, whether it's for work, vacation, or a little bit of both, it can be a great opportunity to do a little extra planning yourself and list your home on Airbnb while you're away. It can be a great way to put your home to use instead of letting it sit empty. You can also earn a little cash to put towards your own travel.
With Airbnb's co-host network, you can get extra support behind the scenes so you don't have to spend your trip worrying about what's happening back home. A co-host is a vetted local superstar, not to be confused with Jesus Christ superstar, who can help manage guest reservations and communication, provide onsite support, even help style your space if you need that. So, the stay runs smoothly while you're off enjoying your own trip. With that little extra planning, you can focus on being present for the things that matter to you most, whether it's exploring a new city, spending time with your family, or just enjoying your summer.

You know those meals that just immediately take you somewhere? Like you take one bite and suddenly you're transported to a backyard, someone's manning the fryer and everyone's waiting for a taste? That's exactly what Boar's Head has managed to do. But at your deli counter, new from Boar's Head, the fryer's turkey breast has the taste of deep fried turkey. And I mean, it's perfectly seasoned, that golden savory flavor. It really does that thing where one bite kind of takes over and you're like, oh, okay, this is what we're doing now. And the best part is you don't have to host anything. You don't have to fry anything. You don't have to politely ask someone else to handle the hot oil, which frankly, I'm always happy to avoid. It's just there at the deli ready to go. So if you're putting together a sandwich or just standing at the counter deciding what kind of day you're going to have, the Friar's Turkey Breast is a pretty great choice. Discover the craftsmanship behind every bite at your local Boar's Head Deli Counter. Boar's Head. Committed to craft since 1905

All of a sudden, it was like, you know what? Whatever your dream was.

**Jesse Tyler Ferguson** (3:00)
Yeah.

**D'Arcy Carden** (3:01)
That's not going to happen, but you're okay. Then, isn't this so annoying that a month later, I got the Good Place.

This is Dinners on Me, and I'm your host, Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
Today, I'm at Wife and the Somm in Glassill Park. It's a charming neighborhood bistro, and as the name suggests, a great spot for anyone who appreciates a good glass of wine. They have a sommelier here who will be on hand to guide you toward your perfect pour. Now, that said, you absolutely do not need to be a wine drinker to come here because the food is absolutely phenomenal. The barbecue black cod, the tender Spanish octopus, seasonal dishes that feel like they belong on a tasting menu. There's also a salad here that honestly looks like it's edible art. Baby beets with goat cheese, candy pistachios, wildflower blossoms. It's absolutely gorgeous. And also, I'm so excited to be here. This feels like a full circle moment. We actually took our very first show photos here. The ones you see when you click on the show. They were those photos were taken right here at Wife and the Somm.
Okay, Darcy should be walking in any minute and she's, oh, there she is right behind that tree. All right, let's get to the conversation.
