And frog and alligator do taste like chicken.
"It made for quite a feeding frenzy, as you can imagine, but not in the way we ill-informed northerners would assume. Where Roberts comes from, people capture alligators and take them home for dinner rather than the other way around. Roberts was affectionately called "The Exterminator" by neighbors who summoned him to catch varmints that slipped into their homes.
To hear UB's senior safety explain, one of his pets could wind up on his plate. He once had one pet alligator that slithered from his bedroom and took up residence behind the family couch. He had pet snakes and iguanas but thought nothing of roasting rabbits and squirrels over an open fire. A bullfrog could pass for his companion one day and southern fried cooking the next.
"It tastes like chicken," Roberts said with a straight face.
Why, of course it does.
I'm guessing Elmo's Bar and Restaurant doesn't plan to combat skyrocketing prices of chicken wings by serving deep-fried bullfrogs – medium, extra crispy? – but Roberts' didn't travel from Cajun country to Buffalo, via the West Coast, for good food, anyway. He was starving for a good education while pursuing his dream of reaching the NFL.
Although the Bulls have players from various outposts, it's safe to assume only one grew up 30 miles west of New Orleans in the "Catfish Capital of the Universe," survived two massive hurricanes, played for a California junior college, experienced a terrifying home invasion, moved across the country and cracked UB's starting lineup..."
