Note: the photo is a recreation of the scene - at this point in the show he had put on a bathrobe. We didn't get to see him naked.

You may know that eating black-eyed peas on New Year's day brings good luck in the new year, but did you know that Cowboy caviar was invented in the 1940’s by Helen Corbitt, head chef at the Zodiac Room, at the flagship Neiman Marcus Department Store in Dallas, Texas?
