We at FUD have been remiss. How is it that the months have gone by without even one Snakes on a Plane parody? Could we perhaps be defying the mindless parroting of memes? Oooor, are we just culturally illiterate?
Well, whatever the motivation, Grapeseed‘s chef’s table in Bethesda shares none of our scruples. And so, this Friday and Saturday, NM has tipped us off that they are presenting, yes,
An evening of a snake-themed set course menu and wine.
To be fair, some of the items would more accurately described as Snake-tribute, like Grilled Baby Octopus ( eight snake like tentacles!), Fresh Tomato, Lemon, and Bucatini (the most snake-like of all pastas), Carbonara. Others are strictly literary: Fresh Churros, Cinnamon Ice Cream (venom served on the side). What other wackiness can Grapeseed come up with? Wait and find out!!!
All that aside, I’ve heard Grapeseed is supposed to be really tasty, so you might as well ride the bandwagon on up to Bethesda and try it out.

That’s awesome. Is there anywhere to get more info on this? Didn’t see anything about it on their website.
I’m having e-mail issues, but once I get back in, I’ll forward you the e-mail with the full menu. A friend is on the grapeseed mailing list, and she sent it to me. The food there is delicious, by the way. — NM
Is this the only place to get some snake (or snake-like food)? Would like to have the real thing, if possible.
I highly suggest my favorite site, ExoticMeats.com for all your creepy crawly protein needs:
