Inspired by the question, 'What would be the perfect meal?', Anthony sets out on a quest for his culinary holy grail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur adventurous chef starts out in Japan, where he eats traditional Fugu, a poisonous blowfish which can be prepared only by specially licensed chefs. He then travels to Cambodia, up the mine-studded road to Pailin into autonomous Khmer Rouge territory and to Phnom Penh's Gun Club, where local fare is served up alongside a menu of available firearms. In Saigon, he's treated to a sustaining meal of live Cobra heart before moving on to savor a snack with the Viet Cong in the Mecong Delta. Further west, \u003ci\u003eKitchen Confidential\u003c\/i\u003e fans will recognize the Gironde of Tony's youth, the first stop on his European itinerary.
