With consumers becoming more and more adventurous when it comes to food, one North Carolina restaurant has upped the ante with a eight-legged creation called the 'Tarantula Burger.' Created as part of the restaurant's Exotic Meat Month promotion, the new burger is definitely not arachnophobe-friendly.
The Tarantula Burger is a jaw-dropping new burger created by North Carolina's Bull City Burger and Brewery. Just as the name suggests, the burger features a beef patty topped with a slice of Gruyere cheese, spicy sauce, and a entire oven-roasted zebra tarantula. The restaurant only has 18 tarantulas to serve, so a lottery has been set up to give consumers a chance to try the eight-legged dish. Those who can finish the entire thing will receive a special T-shirt that proves they survived the 'Tarantula Challenge.'
