Animal [Los Angeles]

So, Animal. Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo’s dude-food, nose-to-tail, pig-centric restaurant on Fairfax. With those hyphenated adjectives, was there any doubt I would love this place?

I just want bone marrow to be on all menus forever. Also fried pig’s ear. I suppose Animal’s popularity — and therefore its influence — is helping push that dream closer to reality territory.

Also? Animal is one of the places where I regret California’s foie gras ban the most. Short rib poutine is divine, if unpicturesque, but damn would it be spectacular with some seared goose liver under all that gravy.

Totally agree with your thoughts on bone marrow – I had it at The Spence in Atlanta last fall, and now I’m slightly obsessed!

  The best is when it’s paired with something herby and vinegary to cut through all the fat — I think at Animal it’s chimichurri, but I’m also partial to a lemony parsley salad.
