And then there was, um, rat

Boy, those New Yorkers. Anything for a gallery opening.

"Those easily queased should stop reading here.... Seventy five rats were skinned and cooked — and broiled and smoked and grilled — for the dinner, and most guests paid $100 each to attend, signing a liability waiver, some not entirely willingly."

(Read all the way to the end for the recipe "Rat Braise"; you start with "15 whole rats, skinned and gutted, tails removed")

Kind of like the Asian carp, if-you-can't-beat-'em, eat-'em, approach.
