Anthony Bourdain: Food Porn

Just finished watching Bourdain's food porn episode. Expecting the standard clip show - either rehashing segments they already played or showing the segments that got cut during the editing process. I was 100% wrong and glad I decided to watch. The film crew goes around to some big time chefs and ask them what their version of food porn would be.

Notable food porn segments include:
  • Eric Ripert and his uni and caviar pasta
  • Alan Wong and his butter poached lobster and abalone
  • Terrance Brennan and his soft poached egg topped with cheese sauce and truffles
  • The mother of all segments was the phenomenal Au Pied de Cochon and his franken-pig recreation. Basically, taking every piece of the pig, from nose to tail, and cooking each piece using a different cooking method - obviously there's fois gras stuffed items to make it over the top food porn. Completely f'n sick and a wtf money shot moment...
