This glutton wants to be punished

What has been you biggest 'I fucked up' moment in the kitchen?

Once I went to Italy to make a dinner. I decided that one of the things I would make would be dessert wontons. I thought maybe it might be hard to get powdered sugar so I brought some. I was also making coconut shrimp lollipops and it needed baking soda–so I brought that. Maybe it was the jet lag or maybe it was the alcohol but it came time to sprinkle the powdered sugar on the wontons and I did. I was watching people eat them and they were making little faces. I tasted it and it was so bitter. I had sprinkled them [the wontons] with baking soda. It does not get much worse than that.

You're on death row. The warden has asked you to order your last meal. What is it? And why?

I would start with a green papaya salad that I had in this hut in Thailand. My second course would be some prosciutto I had in Portugal. It is the most melt-in-your-mouth prosciutto I have ever had in my life. Then I would have a bowl of fava beans soup from Fez in Morocco. I was in India recently. In a little village, I bought these prawns right out of the water. Someone cooked my shrimps and [they] were so amazing. That would be my main course. Lastly, I would have a wheel of Epiosse, which is a really stinky French cheese. Then I'll roll over and die with a big smile on my face.


Glutton for Punishment Season 3 airs every Thursday at 10:30pm on Discovery Travel and Living.
