Grasshopper Pizza. Would you eat?

[Anonymous No.12730476]

LAS VEGAS – In the kitchen of Fremont Street’s Evel Pie pizzeria, there’s a new ingredient landing atop New York-style slices.

And you might call it chicken of the desert: Grasshoppers.

“The Canyon Hopper” pizza hit the menu this week after a Biblical level migration of pallid-winged grasshoppers swarmed Sin City’s neon lights and sidewalks – an invasion so thick it looked like a storm on weather radar.

"It's hit the world by swarm," Branden Powers, Evel Pie's managing partner and creator, told the USA TODAY Network.

If you stop into the parlor at 508 Fremont St. in downtown Las Vegas, a slice will cost $5.50. But supplies are selling out fast.

Even normal products can't please everyone. Did you see that one thread earlier today that showed popular sandwiches in America? According to that sourceless poll, only about 3/4ths of America likes grilled cheese, one of the simplest and easiest to customize sandwiches.
Entomophagy is still a novel concept in America and a lot of people are curious enough to try it. I wouldn't want them on a pizza either, but I'm certain there's enough people buying to at least break even, assuming that's a popular pizza place.
