If you're a gastronomic thrill-seeker, you'd probably enjoy dining at Typhoon at the Santa Monica airport. They specialize in Asian cooking of every type - Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino, Malay, Thai, etc. There is a section of their menu devoted to "insects" - crickets, scorpions, water bugs, etc., while another part of their menu is devoted to "amphibians" - frogs, salamanders, etc.

The crickets are especially tasty and go very well with beer. Just don't eat with your eyes open...
