I mean, wow. The media has gone bonkers over the addition of crickets to Vij’s menu. The Vancouver Sun has published one, two, three stories on it in today’s paper alone. Mia Stainsby, who wrote them all, opens one of them with a chirpy, telling line:
You could say this story has legs.
Yes, you could say that. In a fever dream, I could imagine the following conversation happening in the Earls boardroom this morning:
“Well boys, what do you think?”
“The costing is right.”
“But will our customers go for it?”
“How big are cricket wings?”
“What about taste?”
“I don’t see how that matters…”
God help us all.

Hot “Dog”, tastes like chicken.
