No Reservations' Poetic Ode to Pat LaFrieda

On last night's episode of No Reservations, Anthony Bourdain celebrated the non-denominational season in the grand tradition of holiday specials: with lots of famous people. Mario Batali! David Chang! "Uncle" Ted Nugent! Marky Ramone! All were enlisted in the preparation (or at least consumption) of a variety of beef cuts from butcher Pat LaFrieda, and food writer Michael Ruhlman was on hand to assist. For all the one liners from the show, head over to Eater National. For an awesome Josh Ozersky joke and an awesome LaFrieda poem, see ahead. >>
