One of my favorite things to do when I travel is eat. As a kid I was a really fussy eater but as I grew up my taste buds started to evolve. Nowadays I will try (almost) anything. This pic captured a somewhat sublime moment for me a few years ago in Bangkok. My best friends and I were having a cocktail in the lobby of the beautiful JW Marriott when my friend Wayne excused himself and said he would be right back. A few minutes later he arrived back at the hotel with a plastic bag full of deep-fried grasshoppers. Having been in Bangkok a few years prior he new just where to get the juiciest ones! One by one we all took turns sampling the little critters. They actually were not that bad. To me they tasted a bit like fried pork rinds. So there we sat having a cocktail and eating fried grasshoppers before a crazy night on the town.
