"So, this is a real, traditional style king cake, but it’s a king cake filled with crickets (and topped with crickets), which is just so wacky that it landed on this list. Jayme Necaise, Director of Animal and Visitor Programs at Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium, says the cricket-stuffing lends “a nice nutty flavor.” The cricket topping adds a little crunch, kind of like a Danish topped with pecans. (Tastings are included with general admission while supplies last through Mardi Gras season.)" - Stephanie Carter
