 I'm Lieutenant Dick Chasen, this hadn't been a routine case, and to find the answer I've had to put a lot of little pieces together. I'm gonna do something that, well frankly it's kind of disgusting. I'm with my friend Biff in Wonderland, and he is joining me on this excursion into a little cave, a tequila cave. La Cavadal Tellquila. I know that sounded horrible, but she was trying to show me the best she could. So once you say tequila, you think that the gross thing that I'm gonna be doing is drinking some tequila. True, but it's what I'm gonna be drinking with the tequila, is the gross part. Nothing like washing down some fine tequila then with some grasshoppers, ants and worms. A lot of people don't know this, but when you order some margaritas or tequila shots from Mexico, it actually comes with crushed grasshopper salt or crushed ant salt, crushed worm salt. All those salts actually have the actual bugs, bits of the bugs crushed up, and you're actually drinking it with your drink. But today me and Biff are actually making it our option to drink those things. Before we get to our salts, I think we need to start off slow and have a little dosa keys with lime. So here are the grasshoppers, and they're like literal grasshoppers. Yeah, those aren't crushed up. Wow. And here is the black ant salt, which has crushed up ants inside of it. Unfortunately, they do not have the worm salt, but the way that the grasshoppers are supposed to be served, you're supposed to eat a grasshopper and then take a shot of mezcal, which is kind of like a tequila, and the ant salt is actually put on the rim of a margarita. So I'm getting a shot of mezcal and eating a grasshopper, and Biff is going to get a margarita with some black ant salt, and then we're going to probably switch because I want to try the black ant salt too. I haven't got a lot done with my beer, and already my mezcal showed up, and look, they give you a little shot glass full of the grasshoppers, there's the mezcal itself, and then some orange, and I actually got the illegal espanin, and it cost $11 for this. 11 bucks, well worth it. Biff ended up getting the cucumber margarita, and all on the glass itself is a bunch of broken up ants. Well, yeah, black ant salt, look at that. Look at all of those little ants. I mean, you really can't tell their ant salt, they're pretty grounded up, pretty fine, but the grasshoppers are literally just like chunks of grasshoppers. Wow, so there it is. I'm going to nibble on this and sip some mezcal, wow. Nice, it's not bad. That's Morse, the grasshopper's good. Oh yeah, very smoky, very smoky. All right, now it's time for a little black ant salt. I have a soul after with the red. Ooh, probably salty, it's probably salty. Yeah, that's all right. All right. I would say it tastes like all the other ants I ate, but I've never eaten ants. So the server told us that the reason that you take the mezcal with the grasshoppers is because both of them have like a smoky flavor to them. So that's why I said it tasted smoky, it's because it's meant to be that way. And that's why you pair those two together. Now I'm going to try to pair the black ants with the mezcal. And I'm going to do it kind of like in an old fashioned or traditional tequila shop fashion. Where you lick your hand, put the salt on, take a sip and then eat the orange. So I'm excited. Oh boy. Oh, too much. No, that's not. He's got it. There you go. I don't got much to say about that. He's just, are you just eating one? Yeah. Kind of reminds me of pistachios. Yeah, a little bit. And it's smoky, right? Very smoky. He is just going to town eating those grasshoppers over there. He is, look it. He ate them all. Well, you got to finish the cup. You got to finish the cup. It is a grasshopper on a shelf. So I'm not sure what is like condoned or what actually is a shot. I always figured like this would be a shot. But like when they pour the mezcal, like they leave it up to the top here. So it is, I mean, it's a sipping drink, not like a shot. So that's why it's not all gone. Regardless of the amount of, you know, liquors in there, I got to finish it. And I got to finish the grasshoppers too. So I'm going to literally just take the leftover grasshoppers that's in the little glass, which is, I mean, a pretty good amount. And I'm going to pop them in my mouth like sunflower seeds and then take the rest of the mezcal and salt. I think this is going to, wait, what are you going to do? Ew. Why would you do that? Why would he do that? So that was the La Cava de Tequila. I think I said that good again. So that's going to do it for me. I'm feeling very good and very relaxed. The bug experience is pretty good. The mezcal, very smoky. Everything was very smoky. The grasshoppers smoky. The black and salt was very smoky. The mezcal, very smoky. But overall, I had a lot of fun. And it was definitely a unique experience. Make sure to check out Biff. BiffinWonderland.com. BiffWonderland.com. And love the life you live. We'll see you next time. Bye!
