Hey guys! I'm coming in from Detroit to visit Chicago during the taste fest strictly for food. I've been to Chicago several times already but I'm looking for some new foods to try. I like what some call 'weird' foods such as Alligator, Bugs, Shark, Kangaroo, Bison, etc. Just hoping if you guys could open my eyes to a few spots that would serve things like what I listed, especially bugs. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Sticky Rice at Western and Irving has bugs on the menu. Great Thai food there.

That's where I went before! I had fried caterpillars, an ant omelette and durian fruit. I'm really proud of the durian fruit accomplishment. Andrew Zimmerman from Bizarre Foods couldn't even swallow one piece but I managed to do it......and paid a price! lol
