5 restaurants serving delicious insect dishes around the world - SilverKris
"A moodily lit Mexican spot where chef Mario Hernandez frames the inclusion of insects as a cultural and gastronomic experience; a portrait of the six-legged namesake greets diners and signals the adventurous menu. Regionally inspired preparations invite curiosity—most notably tacos topped with cocopaches (giant mesquite bugs) paired with zucchini blossom and cheese—positioning bugs as central, flavorful ingredients rather than novelty." - Pip Usher
