For those who weren't able to spend $250 on an Extra Mooga ticket yesterday, here's a taste of what Anthony Bourdain told the assembled crowd: he'd take a "big f*cking can of gasoline" to Olive Garden, that the James Beard house should be turned "into something useful like a methadone clinic," and that a unicorn meat is delicious. Oh yeah, and he'd definitely eat human flesh if he had to.
According to The Huffington Post, a man asked Bourdain if he would eat him. "Fuck yeah," he replied. If the man was on a life raft with him and a bunch of his friends in the food industry, and the man wasn't pulling his weight, he'd go down the hatch.
But Bourdain wasn't finished. When someone asked who he would most like to deep fry, he said it'd be Dick Cheney. First, he'd waterboard him, then "deep fry his head," then "fuck him up the ass." Uhh, we didn't see any Family Mooga tent yesterday that helped you explain to your children what "fuck him up the ass" means.
Perhaps the chef redeemed himself when he told a little girl that he'd definitely eat unicorn, and that their marrow was delicious. Our own John Del Signore was on the scene and caught some of the exchange, but important Mooga research and a fine spring day kept him from lingering too long in front of a stage where a celebrity chef was blathering to a privileged audience.
