57. Insect Brah
Published 2 years, 5 months ago
Description
Nabokov, Teddy Roosevelt, Ernst Junger: all amateur entomologists driven by the overwhelming urge to know and categorize the natural world. Insect Brah is the Twitter version. His exotic ontological posts recall the Judge from Blood Meridian, “whatever exists without my knowledge exists without my consent."
His day job is chef, where he integrates his fascination with nature into every menu. We talk about working in the service industry, our all time favorite meals, the relationship between God and bugs, and discovering new frogs.
