The Colbert Report was food-centric last night, including Colbert dining and dashing on the ridiculous $1000 sundae at Serendipity, and this interview with Michael Pollan about his new book, In Defense of Food.

The interview is a little awkward, but also hilarious. Highlight: Michael Pollan discovers, live, that he was not breast-fed.
