Just in case you feel like living on the edge!
Every April, Bull Metropolis Burger and Brewery in North Carolina hosts “unique Meat Month,” celebrating unique meats eaten around the country and the realm.
This year, and for the last 3 years during “unique Meat Month” the restaurant will be serving up a “Tarantula Burger.” And no, just since it’s in citation marks doesn’t mean it’s figurative.
A hairy, char-grilled tarantula sits right on top of a juicy beef patty for your taste4 buds to munch on.
Throughout the month of April, adventurous purchasers can enter a raffle to consume the wonderful burger with a side of “soiled fries” for $30. When the winner is chosen, they have 48 hours to respond and set up an appointment to come in. Anyone who devours the entire meal; Tarantula burger: a pasture-raised North Carolina red meat burger, gruyere cheese, oven-roasted tarantula, and spicy chili sauce along with soiled fries, is given a free T-shirt with the restaurant’s logo on it and can delight in arachnid social media glory.
There isn’t an age restriction, and the tarantulas are “free-ranged” and certified fit for human consumption.
Some people have stated that the tarantula burger tastes like a crustacean, Cindrich. They say that it’s crablike — salty however bitter, though the chili sauce provides a little of heat to it.
The “Tarantula challenge” will proceed throughout the month of April.
