"I just stick to the traditional things. Things that I know about," one man said. "Fried chicken, ribs, things of that nature, things that I know about. My wife always experiments, but I don't."
A few feet away, Aaron Wolfson, owner of Chicago's Dog House, was offering rattlesnake and rabbit sausage. He reminisced about the first time he tried rattlesnake.

"I do remember. It tasted a lot like chicken. It's like the dark meat of chicken. It's not going to bite you. It's not going to hurt you. It's good for you. It's high in protein," he said.
