Hours after sanctions on Iran were lifted as a result of Barack Obama's nuclear deal, the president and his wife Michelle enjoyed a Saturday night out at a Mexican restaurant where they celebrated the first lady's 52nd birthday.
On the menu: grasshopper tacos for $5.
The Washington, DC restaurant Oyamel Cocina Mexicana is a low-key choice for dinner by presidential standards. The most expensive item on the dinner menu is the roasted lamb chop for $18.50.
Oyamel has a three-and-a-half star rating on Yelp.....

If it’s moochelles birthday why is barry taking Reggie out to dinner?
Michelle’s birthday? Doesn’t this require them to spend $7 million flying around the country? $20 trillion in the hole has never stopped them before.
Humans don’t usually eat grasshoppers. Just sayin’...
They were sold out of Chihuahua Chimichangas?
DC has the weirdest restaurants.
“Humans don’t usually eat grasshoppers. Just sayin’...’
Actually, in many places, they do.
You can buy roasted grasshoppers on a stick in Bangkok markets.
I was challenged to eat some of them once and they are actually not bad. Sort of like scrambled eggs but with some crunch.
But their values are much higher....so they go to a Mexican Restaurant. Yuck!!
Eating insects has not typically been adopted in the West.
I don't see any reason this would slow down Obama ...
OMG Just lost my apetite!
Sticking to Beef, Chicken and Fish. NO BUGS!!!
Obama brings his own bugs, buzzing his face.
Trying out the new menu item on the school lunch program.
No thank you.
DC restaurants seem to always have weird trendy food. And the DC crowd seems to pack these places.
Really creepy vibes at these places.
That is just plain gross! My chickens would love it but I wouldn’t.

I’ll eat bugs when I have absolutely no other options... I sure won’t pay $5 for them.
"The Daily Caller noted that in President Obama's best-selling memoir, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, the president recalls being fed dog meat as a young boy in Indonesia with his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.
"With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy)," the president wrote. "Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths.
He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.""

"They shared tea brewed from berries, ate bear-gnawed bloody salmon, talked about drinking urine
and discussed climate change"
Obama: What time did you say lunch was?
The only time I’ve ever eaten them was in survival school. Greasy and crunchy, but I suppose they get the job done.
