Fried grasshoppers with Jonathan Gold

Veronique de Turenne shared a cab in Guadalajara with Jonathan Gold and his wife, Laurie Ochoa, then joined them for an adventurous lunch — fried grasshoppers included. Veronique's photos will make you hungry.

Gold eats out a lot: L.A. writer Scott Timberg also blogs about culinary adventures with Gold during the Guadalajara book fair.
