Insect restaurant: This eatery will soon have bugs on the menu
A couple of bug eaters have decided to open up U.K.'s first all-insect restaurant called Grub Kitchen. The restaurant will be in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales.
The head chef Andy Holcroft, who are confident diners will "love" his bug-laden dishes, said "I've always been really interested in trying to do something different with food. I want to make people think about their food," the Independent reported.

The award-winning chef is a passionate advocate of entomophagy - eating insects. Apprantely he has conducted a massive research before setting up his menu.
Cricket kebab and mealworm were the first dish that he unveiled. The chef also has a signature bug burger. The burger has toasted mealworms, crickets and grasshoppers mixed with other ingredients like spinach, tomatoes and spices.
