ok i thought i would only have the opportunity to eat alligator once a year. but we went to this Vietnamese restaurant on Saturday and what do i find? a page of exotics on the menu including alligator:
i ordered the CA Sau Xuc banh Trang (Cay) which is alligator w/ lemon grass, mints, onions and chili peppers w/ sesame rice chips!
it was SUPER yummy!
i must try the python next time!
Edit: oh i forgot to mention, this was at Rainier Restaurant/Rainier BBQ in south Seattle BTW. it has been featured on Anthony Bourdain's show!
