TMZ, always a class act, interviewed Anthony Bourdain ambush-style at LAX to ask him about the third most pressing issue on everyone's mind, after Hurricane Irma and their weekend plans: North Korea.

Trump and Kim Jong-un spent much of the summer in a game of nuclear chicken, each firing threats across the Pacific via state-sponsored media, off-script press conference, and tweet. North Korea's missile tests have been met with stronger sanctions. The U.S. top military leadership has warned of a "massive military response." Kim Jong-un and Trump, two leaders with serious power complexes (one assumes), are getting increasingly antsy.

It's useless to imagine a scenario in which the two men would sit together in a room and bluster about mutually assured destruction. And there's absolutely no way Bourdain would cater that meeting. But TMZ went there anyway, asking Bourdain what he would serve in that situation. "Hemlock," he responded.

He also said he would not consider filming an episode of Parts Unknown in the hermit nation. "There's nothing they're going to let you see in North Korea," he said. "Most of the population are starving. Don't you think that would be in kind of bad taste?"

A famine, wrought of natural causes and poor governance, killed as many as 3 million North Koreans in the '90s. Reports from inside the country say that as Kim Jung-un builds his missile stock, food is still rationed among his people. "He's a chubby little evil fuck. Nobody else eats," Bourdain said. As opposed to the other fuck leading our nation, who would likely love it if the entire nation patronized the restaurants at his many Trump properties.
