This afternoon Denise and I met Farrah and Julie at Garson Fine Persian Cuisine for lunch.  With the busy holiday rush for pictures we have not had a chance to have lunch together.  I have been to Garson's once before and it was rather tasty.  I looked forward to trying something new and chillin out with my buddy Farrah for a short while. 

I chose a chicken and crayfish dish for the day.  Since crayfish are out of season they substituted it for shrimp.  It was really quite awesome up until I noticed the cooks had sauteed my shrimp with roaches.  That's right, a roach.  And not like a piece of one where I wasn't sure if it was a roach.  It was a complete, long legged, brown speckled, dirty kitchen roach.  And to top it off, it was found on the bite I was about to put in my mouth.  So in conclusion, if you decide you would like your food sauteed with roaches I suggest heading on over to Garson's Fine Persian Cuisine.  I think the chicken and shrimp dish with roach sauce is an "off menu" dish so be sure and ask if the cook is preparing it that day first. 

But to be completely fair, the owner did comp our meals.  Not one of us was able to continue our lunch.  There really is no saving yourself in that sort of situation. The manager offered a free meal the next time I came but she could tell I probably was not going to be coming back.  I'm just glad they didn't charge me extra for the roaches.

As a disclaimer I am sure I have eaten some pretty nasty things in restaurants.  But like most things, it is sometimes best not knowing what is in my food.  But I draw the line at identifiable insects in my food.
