However, TRASH IS ALWAYS TRASHY, can never leap out of its class. Personally, I won't spend luxurious money to eat trash.<br /> ps. the foie gras is dissappointing, since the backround heavy sweet and meaty taste has buried the original taste of the liver. This proves that the animal chef cannot make a good dish with high class ingredients. For those of people who think they are getting "the best food in the world" from animal, I seriously doubt the class of their tongue.londonerchambernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-53302809779150014132009-10-03T16:14:45.942-07:002009-10-03T16:14:45.942-07:00Danny: Good eating with you.

I should've dropped your name regarding the bacon ice cream!<br /><br /><b>HC</b>: You know, going into Animal, I thought it'd be overly heavy, but it actually wasn't that bad.

Guess it goes on the list for my illustrious return to LA.<br /><br />Although I haven't actually been there, I've had their kimchi pork belly and bacon crunch bar. Both were good, but come on, it's pork belly...and pork belly. I have heard raves about the quail.

The story behind the restaurant is interesting. <br /><br />We ate here about a month ago because we saw the show, "The Best Thing I Ever Ate with Bacon." We enjoyed the food. Next time you've gotta try the pig tail croquettes with pickled onion aioli.<br /><br />Notes at: menutaster.yelp.comMenu Tasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402999693478226713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-38593272698719718482009-10-01T19:33:52.292-07:002009-10-01T19:33:52.292-07:00Man our flavor profiles are pretty similar.

I also love that many of their wines are available as carafes -- for those moments when a glass doesn't seem enough and a bottle, too much.H.
