One bold new North Carolina restaurant has just started serving up America’s first ‘tarantula burger’ to brave customers.
Durham’s ‘Bull City Burger and Brewery‘ is now cooking up the 8-legged critters in celebration of Exotic Meat Month.
To get your hands on the burger, you’ll have to pasture-raised North Carolina beef, gruyere cheese, an oven-roasted tarantula and spicy chili sauce. You’ll have to go to the restaurant to pick up a raffle ticket, then wait for your number to be drawn and posted on Facebook, Twitter, and our website. If your raffle number is drawn, you can call to arrange a time to return to the restaurant to order your own Tarantula Burger (pasture-raised NC beef burger, gruyere cheese, oven-roasted tarantula, and spicy chili sauce) with Dirty Fries for $30.
According to the restaurant’s website, “If you are able to eat the entire burger you will receive one of our limited edition Tarantula Challenge t-shirts (sizes are limited) and get your picture taken for social media fame and glory.”
Here’s a recent shot of raffle winner David D’s epic order;
