Bourdain Ate What?

Chef Anthony Bourdain says he's finally eclipsed his most extreme eating moment. He ate raw seal brain, which he claims to be more extreme than the time he ate the still-beating heart of a cobra (which, thankfully for him, was no longer attached to the cobra). I have a hard time trying to distinguish which is more daring, so I'll just take his word for it.

The new season of Bourdain's great Travel Channel show No Reservations debuts March 26.

My previous TtP homage to Bourdain here. Me talking up Bourdain elsewhere here.
