John Creger was the executive chef and owner of the now-closed
Baltimore, Maryland restaurant Fuisine. Thanks to his extensive
background in the food industry, Creger became a contestant on the Food Network show "Chopped," wherein four chefs compete against one another
for victory. Unfortunately, when Creger appeared on the show's special Halloween episode, he committed perhaps the biggest possible cooking
faux pas by offering the judges a deadly ingredient.
Potentially fatal ingredients have been with us for a long time. And have

later on, Cregar told the camera that he doesn't like to play it safe
and that he wanted to give the judges a new experience.
Understandably, the judges weren't interested in this new experience; according to an archived article from Boston.com, even a small amount
of raw eel blood can make your heart cramp up, which is never a good thing. None of the judges tried Creger's dangerous eel, and the chef
was "chopped" in the appetizer round.
That's why royals and other Satraps used to have tasters. If the taster got throught it OK then it was "fit to eat".
Lessee now, an eel is a snake-like fish .........
