I could not. They go on about the grass fed beef, and special cheese, but nothing about the tarantula's diet.

Grass fed beef.

Is it a Waygu tarantula. Discerning tastes.

Bull City City Burger and Brewery is about 5 mins from the house. I'm going to avoid that area for that week. Can't do spiders, especially hairy tarantulas

No worries, they're oven roasted. They don't bite.

Rather get a waterboarded

I'm fairly adventurous with food, but no, I really don't think I could even take a bite out of that burger.

g8golfer · April 2018

Why?

saluki2007 · April 2018

I would try just about anything, but it would take a lot of money for me to take bite.

Kinda funny, ate raw surf clam, scallops, tuna, squid, snapper and octopus for lunch. Not interested in the arachnid.

HeavyG · April 2018

Farm raised or wild caught?

I like the crunch on my burger to be from fresh sweet onions, crisp pickels, and very well done bacon. I am fine without an arachnid.
There may come a day when it shall be necessary to consume tarantulas for my diet, but, that time is not now, nor the foreseeable future.
I am good.

Thanks to the magic of prime, you could make this yourself on Sunday:

Canned Tarantula

Honestly, the canned spiders have kind of an off taste to me and definitely don’t have the snap of fresh, they’re a bit mushy.

Bull City Burger is one of the best local burgers around IMO. In April they do "exotic meat month" - ostrich, elk, alligator, snake, even Rocky Mountain Oysters. But this is over the top. no thank you.

I had Cricket tacos at a place in DC recently. That's about as far into the insect/arachnid zone as I'll go.
