MORE CULINARY ADVENTURES AT THE WITTE BUGS FOR DINNER!
T
he Bug Bites dinner returns to the Witte at 7 p.m. on March 26, and this season, the collaboration between the Chef Cooperatives and the Witte will be a veritable feast. Come spend an unforgettable evening with Chef Stephen Paprocki, Chef Robert Nathan Allen and the $IFG Cooperatives as they curate an unforgettable evening experience using insects. Explore the untapped culinary potential of this global delicacy with carefully crafted tastes from more than 25 local chefs in the Valero Great Hall and Texas Wild Garden. And, while you’re there, see the Witte’s newest wonderful exhibition, Backyard Adventures.
SUSTAINABLE FOOD
During the dinner, learn how edible insects exist in kitchens around the world today and why they are considered the future of food. It turns out that insects are 80 percent protein by weight, contain energy-rich fats and are loaded with micro-nutrients. Plus, they have a tiny carbon footprint. From “coffee-blackened chapulines street tacos with avocado crema, pico, cilantro and lime� and “roasted orange-ant mole, beet labneh stuffed squash blossom, ant-sumac dried tangerines and oranges with ant salt as garnish� to “Classic Cricket Carrot Cake with luscious .ascarpone frosting, goat milk Cajeta drizzle topped with Candied Cricket Crumble� and so many more creative dishes, chances are you’ll soon consider the highly sustainable bug bites dinner fit for a gourmand. The menu will include all kinds of creatures prepared in so many delectable ways – but for the faint of heart, there will also be less adventurous non-buggy bites, too.
NO BUGS IN THE DRINKS
There may not be any bugs in the drinks, but you will certainly enjoy washing your bug bites down with local refreshments from sponsors Whiskey Republic, Dripping Springs, Devil’s River Whiskey and Alamo Beer while dancing the night BXBZ with DJ Four 40 Entertainment. You’ll also get to build your own beer garden and take home your design as a souvenir. Join the Witte on March 26 and help create the world’s largest bug tasting event in North America. 5IJT EJOOFS TFMMT PVU RVJDLMZ FWFSZ ZFBS TP EPO U XBJU UP QVSDIBTF ZPVS UJDLFUT Tickets are available at CJU MZ #6(#*5&4 . 1MFBTF OPUF UIJT TQFDJBM FWFOU JT SFTFSWFE GPS HVFTUT BOE PWFS For more information, call Witte Reservations at 210.357.1910. ediblesanantonio.com
