America's culinary boundaries are about to be shattered as Smithsonian Networks introduces Bug Bites, a six-part, short-form series exploring the worldwide art of cooking and consuming insects.

Bug Bites takes viewers into four notable chefs' kitchens to explore traditional methods of preparing high-end insect delights, from grasshoppers to scorpions, as well as cutting-edge recipes curated for the modern palate.
