Mysterious British artist Banksy opened his first New York City exhibit in October 2008, titled Pet Store and Charcoal Grill. The exhibition features animatronic "animal" props which explore the relationship between nature and ethics. One of the presentations includes a pair of chicken nuggets eating out of a fast-foot sauce container.
