    Host Kevin O'Connor visits the Formaggio Kitchen — a world-class gourmet food shop with a cheese-ripening cave in the basement — the first ever to be installed in a retail store in the USA. At the project house, Kevin finds stone specialist Jason Buechel installing natural quartzite veneer on the landscape walls. It's more expensive than fake stone, but worth it to homeowner George Mabry for its authenticity. Designer Todd Tsiang shows Kevin how obscure glass, custom shoji screens, and low E coatings will work together to provide privacy, UV protection, and lower energy bills. On the roof, general contractor Tom Silva oversees the installation of the low slope EPDM roofing system.
