GIVEAWAY!!!

The Stove Monkey's have once again given me two pairs of to giveaway to Yumm. To enter, they want to know what the strangest thing you've ever eaten is and why. Here's Matt from Stove Monkey's story:
Once upon a time (lol) I ate a raw fish eye. We were in the kitchen monkeying around and decided to eat the eyeball after butchering it. We drizzled Olive Oil, salt, lemon juice, and sriracha to enhance flavor. After chewing the weird texture we all decided it was a bad idea and tasted gross. If someone bet me 5 dollars to do it again I would not. Gross.
Leave a comment below telling us about the strangest thing you've eaten and you could win 2 tickets to Yumm this Monday at Mercury Lounge. You can have a bonus entry for posting a link to the contest on Twitter and another for posting to Facebook, just be sure to leave another comment with a link to your tweet/facebook message. Good luck and I hope to see you there!

Michael Gulley's Bio
The Alchemist 
In a day and age where the common perception of a bartender is simply one who is doing a second job or side gig to make extra money to get through school, twenty five year old Mixologist Michael Gulley is going the extra length to set himself apart as a true professional with a passion for crafting cocktails and entertaining in conversation. With thirteen years experience in the restaurant industry, Mike has moved up the ranks from a bus boy at a family diner in Brook Park, Ohio to managing the front of house operations for a restaurant in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Recently returning back to Cleveland from NYC, Mike has brought with him a determination to revamp the cocktail culture here in the Greater Cleveland area.   He is currently the Beverage Director at The Fairmount in Cleveland Heights and played a major role in changing the focus of the Fairmount from wine and martinis to classic cocktails that have modern spins with food infusions.  You can also find Mike whipping up crazy culinary cocktails around town with the guys from Stove Monkeys as the team’s Molecular Mixologist.

  1. Sad to say, but I can't think of anything "weird" that I've ever eaten. I'm up for almost anything (no bugs), but the opportunity just hasn't come up.

  2. It's funny, I struggled answering that question too. I guess the weirdest thing I have eaten would be things like bone marrow, chicken necks, pig's ears, sweet breads, etc. While I think those are all tasty treats now, 5 years ago I would have thought it was crazy and I still get a lot of weird looks when I tell my friends and co-workers that I like that stuff.

  3. The weirdest thing I've ever eaten is probably this snack food that my dad brought back from China. It had whole dried mini fish and shrimp, about 1 inch long, with various crackers, but it reminded me of the smell of flake fish food that you feed to pet fish.

  4. Ugh, I know what you are talking about Adam. Have you been to any of the Asian grocers in Cleveland? They have some pretty nasty stuff down there (although some pretty cool stuff too).

  5. I think the strangest thing that i've ever had is the worm at the bottom of a tequilla bottle. I'm not the most adventurous eater, but tequilla makes you do some crazy stuff!!
