Chewing the Fat: Batali and Bourdain on Sex
Mario Batali and Tony Bourdain are a couple of champion fat chewers who know and like and respect each other a great deal, so we thought why not bring them together for the next set of Chewing the Fat episodes.

Food and Sex: Church and State? Batali and Bourdain discuss. What say you, serious eaters? [Possibly NSFW conversation after the jump].
The new season of Tony's show No Reservations airs Mondays at 10 p.m. ET on the Travel Channel. Mario's show, Spain...On the Road Again, co-starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Mark Bittman, continues on PBS.

"Engorgement of various membranes"....hmmm. That. was. interesting...
Visions of George Kostanza eating a pastrami sandwhich while in the midst of love-making comes to mind...

Okay, it's too early in the morning to listen to Batali talk about sex.

Now it is just sounding like two people talking bullshit while they drink.
I am sure it is very amusing, for them.
The better and more fulfilling concept us seduction done with a food component. Like when I made the husband (them my bf) truffles for Valentines day. It was like baiting the hook. Draw your own conclusions.

I have no problem hearing videos on any other site except this one. Even cranked to the max I have to literally place my ear on the speaker.

@Juliebugs: "I find the pastrami to be the most sensual of all the salted cured meats"

@burgerluver - It wasn't Costanza that said that line... it was the mom who was hosting her kid's party that said it.

i'm just curious how this was produced.
were these topics prompted or they were just shooting the shits and you guys cut them into diff segments?

This was great. They really 'went there' with the gas in the bedroom, hey-o!

Guys! What are you thinking? Viscous chocolate and whipped cream on a pert breast provide a texture unequaled by any Sundae I've ever had. Try it, you'll like it, then take the whipped cream south for another delight.

I partially agree with Tony: she don't like uni, then she ain't worth it. However, I disagree about no food in the bedroom, particularly if you're into S&M. Those uni shells hurt so good ;)

i can't believe it took 9 comments to get a herb alpert reference. well played even if it is a bit graphic.

"It reminds me of camp in a bad way." Bwahahahahahahaha! I was rolling on the floor (what's with the zoom in the camera though, gave me a headache).

Not sure if I'm ok with hearing Batalli talking about using an eggplant for sex? WRONG. Oh so much wrong.

@BananaMonkey- I have the same problem...on almost any other site I play a video I can hear just fine but on this one I have to literally put my ear on the speaker. Can ANYONE explain this to me?

Who would consider ever having sex with either of these guys? Eeeeww!

OK, what happened? Was the video killed by any of (SE's parent company, the participants' respective networks) ?
JerseyJeff at 3:45PM on 01/19/09
@JerseyJeff: Not quite sure I understand your question? What do you mean "Was the video killed...?"?

@expat39520 Their wives, possibly...
