Bourbon.
Or sign him up for the jelly of the month club.

This isn't the kinda party where you bring something. He's either carefully crafted himself or catered that menu.... bringing something isn't going to fit in and will be more annoying than welcomed imo. If that's the menu, bar is probably also covered... I would just arrive empty handed...I think it's the move here

If the dinner is in GA, definitely boiled peanuts and some pee can pie.

He means "don't bring anything" to eat/drink/consume at the party. You are correct. It is always appropriate to bring a host/hostess gift. It doesn't matter if the host is wealthy or poor, it's just a gesture of thanks. I mean, who doesn't like receiving small gifts?
As others have said, bourbon/wine/champagne, or if he has a woman in his life, even a nice Christmas candle like from Nest or LafCo. Everyone likes these things. Gift wrap it and include a short note. "Merry Christmas and thank you for having us!"

If I tell people not to bring anything, I mean please don't bring anything and certainly not any food or drink. I'm hosting a party and I don't want to have to deal with any of that.
That being said, a package of nice cocktail napkins, holiday dish towel(s), a candle or something along those lines is okay. We've bought those amaryllis bulbs in the wax that grow without needing any attention at all and people have really enjoyed them. It's fun to watch them grow.
They look like this. They don't take up a lot of space like a poinsettia.

A nice bouquet of flowers for his wife is an option

People in LA feel obligated to serve things that are brought . If it is a gift for the host/hostess there is no obligation for it to be served that night.

There’s a whole category of gifts known as “hostess” gifts that fit your need. You can google the term for what’s current. If you are in south LA, check out Fleurty Girl, Dirty Coast, or Alexa Pulitzer, depending on your price level. All carry hostess-type gifts. Several of their brick and mortar stores have sections devoted to the men in the family.

I usually bring a host/hostess gift of macarons from a nice bakery.

Bringing flowers, or anything that requires immediate attention, is frowned on by the etiquette mavens. Having flowers delivered after the party, as a thank you for hosting me, is a better strategy.
