Chewing the Fat: Batali and Bourdain on the Poop Chute
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.
Bourdain talks about some of the job hazards of shooting No Reservations, like eating "the last foot of poop chute of a wart hog," served medium-rare and "seven-foot long guinea worms."
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.

Maybe its "poop chute"? Because I was just envisioning some twisted target-practice.

You are correct, dwagner. Damn those homophones! Title has been fixed. Thanks.

Holy poop shoot. That was so disturbing on so many levels.

Well...the poop did shoot out of the poop chute. I saw that episode...it did not look pleasant to eat that thing. But I like that Bourdain goes out of his way to respect the people he eats with on his trips.

Truly funny to see how grossed out Mario gets. One of my favorite Tony lines regarding his adventurous consumption, "Ohhh, I'm gonna have to double up on the Imodium for this one." I hope these interview clips go on forever!

I can't get enough interview clips!! I was hoping for MORE AB as well, but I guess those are done. And I was getting just as grossed out as Mario!!
