That's How It Happened

TIME has more photos and excerpts from the book My Last Supper, previously seen in The Guardian. My favourite is Martin Picard of cult Montreal restaurant Au Pied de Cochon:

"the meal would start with one kilo of caviar and blini, a Russian pancake, followed by fresh bluefin tuna from Nova Scotia, served raw with a soy sauce and self-hunted snipes"

Picard makes Bourdain look like a wimp. Bonus marks also go to the Arzaks for picking ortolan, which famously was Francois Mitterand's actual last supper. (Unrelated Tangentially related: hi def Last Supper)
