'Game Of Thrones' Star Tells George R.R. Martin To 'Go F--k Yourself'

As Khal Drogo, actor Jason Momoa got to play three characters on "Game of Thrones": an aggressive, brutish tyrant; a tender, loving husband; and a fierce, wise leader. Understandably, Momoa was a bit disappointed when Drogo did not survive the first season of "Game of Thrones."

Momoa, chatting with HuffPost Live host Alyona Minkovski, said he read ahead in George R.R. Martin's series "A Song of Ice and Fire" -- which the show is based on-- and knew beforehand that he would be offed early in the series.

"After George Martin killed me, I was like 'go fuck yourself,'" Momoa said with a smile. "I'm joking. But after George killed me, I was really upset. I went to go get the book at Barnes and Noble and I was bummed that I was dead. But it's brilliant writing."

Momoa came on the show to promote his new movie, "Road to Paloma," set for a July 11 release.

Feast Like A Character of Game Of Thrones At One of These 8 Restaurants
Whole Pig’s Head at Yusho, Las Vegas(01 of08)

Giant steaks are nothing new to Vegas — BRAND Steakhouse at the Monte Carlo even has a 120-pound Ultimate Steak on its menu — but the Carlo's newly opened Yusho got, ahem, a-HEAD of the carnivore game with its “ultimate dining option." Order it and get a whole pig’s head that takes nearly a full 24 hours to cook and is served with a bunch of Japanese fixins’. The restaurant opened just two weeks ago and has already served three pig heads. Order at least a full day in advance if you’d like to be next.

Mostly serving wood-fired pizzas, this neighborhood spot in the Boston suburbs combats frigid Massachusetts winters with Sunday Roasts and Whole Roasted Pig Parties. Posto's Sunday Roast offers the most, including leg of lamb, classic Porchetta, Ham Roast and other traditionally hearty items.

The ultimate carnivore pie has arrived at CHARCUT Roast House in Calgary, where each pie is meant to serve at least two people. It’s not clear whether they’ll be served with giant foaming horns of ale, or just very large mugs, but we hope for the former. The restaurant also makes burgers large enough to feed six!

Top chefs in major cities go “whole hog” — from butchering and charcuterie to stacks n’ stacks of bacon and glistening hams — for the COCHON 555 event.

Farmer’s Market Symposium by Terra, Santa Fe(05 of08)

Chef Andrew Cooper of Terra in Santa Fe’s Four Seasons Rancho Encantado has a knack for balancing five-star presentation and medieval throwback plating. His family-style spreads are available on special request in the restaurant and are served on a giant wooden trestle. But even in a casual setting, like the local farmers market, he gets it right with juicy slabs of meat and nice fresh veggies served on sturdy metal-looking squares.

Viking Feast by Hurtigruten, Lofoten Norway(06 of08)

Serving wenches, goblets and giant stewpots over open flames? Check, check and CHECK! This looks like an authentic Viking feast (if you ignore the cell phones on the table), because it is. Or at least, it’s a land excursion available to cruise passengers on Hurtigruten’s epic coastal Norway route.

Free-range, all-natural, apple-brined rotisserie whole chickens — a favorite family feast for a thousand years and counting. They’re New England Soup Factory's main course in their “Fit for a Queen” menu on Mother's Day, or really any day.

As the US gets more hooked on house-made charcuterie (or charcutería in Spanish), a few bold home chefs are ready to try butchering and curing their own meat in traditional ways. American author Jeffrey Weiss’ newly released cookbook Charcutería: The Soul of Spain explores traditional Spanish charcutería — everything from ancient butchering and curing customs to full-color photos and modern presentations.
