Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has cooked up a unique dish while filming in Florida: Burmese python.
Ramsay joined a water management official to hunt the invasive pythons in the Everglades for an upcoming episode of his TV show, The F Word with Gordon Ramsay.
Kyle Penniston hunts pythons for the South Florida Water Management District , the state agency that oversees the Everglades’ restoration.

Researchers say pythons are having a negative effect on populations of native mammals in the vast wetlands.
According to a statement from the district, Ramsay and his son, Jack, helped Penniston kill three pythons in western Miami-Dade County.
The district said Ramsay cooked one python in a portable oven.
Penniston said it was an honour to have his first taste of python cooked by Ramsay.
