Lunch with a Crunch: Cooking with Bug Chef David GordonBug Chef
DATE: Saturday, February 7
TIMES: 12:30 p.m.–1:30 p.m. & 2:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m.

Touch, see, and taste bugs of all varieties. Bug Chef David Gordon will demonstrate how to prepare bug-infused recipes from his book The Eat a Bug Cookbook.

A grasshopper’s body is 60 percent protein. That’s twice the percentage in chicken or beef. You might re-evaluate your own diet when you learn some of Gordon’s fun facts and practical advice on obtaining and preparing crickets, mealworms, and other bug delicacies. He will also share facts about bug-eating cultures from around the world. You’ll laugh out loud, squirm uncomfortably, and—maybe—lick your chops.

“Lunch with a Crunch” is included in museum admission.
