Still my favorite place in la to eat tasty baby animals.
(new) english pea, yellowfoot, green garlic broth, bone marrow
Underneath the surface are the tasty fungi and pieces of bone marrow, because of course there’s bone marrow. Light and satisfying.
hamachi tostada, fish sauce vinaigrette, peanut, avocado
This has all the flavors of a Vietnamese chicken salad, salty, sour, sweet, tart, herb-y. So perfectly dressed, it’ll make tim gunn jealous.
veal tongue, pickle, apple, salmon roe, black mustard
This has so much going on - smoky tongue, sweet apple, spicy mustard and horseradish, crunchy rye croutons - but it all works together. Love how each bite is different. #tonguespeaksforitself
(new) spicy pork shoulder steak, fermented pineapple, daikon, sesame seed
This was okay, pork was pretty lean, could have used more pineapple or a sauce

Does this dish make my liver look fat? #askingforafriend

quail fry, grits, slab bacon, kale, maple jus
tandoori octopus, tamarind, yogurt, kumquat
After a 5 year hiatus this sucker is back and it’s spectacular. You wouldn’t think this would go together on paper but incorporating each ingredient in one bite and it just works. Highlight of the night.
foie gras loco moco, quail egg, spam, hamburger
fat on fat on fat on fat.
cheesecake pudding, guava, strawberry, graham
(new) 
aguachile, cilantro, mint, chile de arbol
cold, spicy, sweet, refreshing
(new) sea scallops, leche de tigre, brown butter, fennel
scallops were nicely cooked, leche de tigre tasted like a tart, spicy, orange juice. tasty.
(new) 
tartare, green garlic crème fraîche, tomato, montasio frico
not bad, veal was pretty mild and lean, could have used some more assertive flavors.
(new) 
, pomegranate molasses, yogurt, baharat, parsley
interesting use of bahart gave this dish a middle eastern taste. the chef’s put all their heart into this dish.
(new) 
katsu, yuzu kosho aioli, togarashi, kombu marinated cucumber
delicious, soft and crispy eggplant balanced with the cool aioli. however, this was tiny, about the size of a tea saucer, i could have eaten about 10 of these.
sweetbreads, creamed spinach, hen of the woods, caper, brown butter
perfectly fried little nuggets of gland deliciousness balanced with a nice amount of acid.
foie gras fucking biscuit, maple sausage gravy
the best damn dessert on the menu
Animals consumed 
(new) carta di musica, nduja, fennel pollen, lemon
Fine. Stick with the chicken liver toast.
(new) chicken oyster yakitori, smoked paprika, herb creme fraiche
The fish cheeks of the chicken. deliciously tender, crispy, and smoky. science needs to engineer a chicken with more than two oysters.
(new) sugar snap peas, ponzu, green garlic, sesame
nice bite with a tart, nutty sauce.
prawns, roasted garlic, chili lime salt
snappy prawns from new zealand. prime head sucking alert.
crispy pig head, pernil, congri, marinated onion, lime
a croquette of pig head with red beans and rice. okay, a bit dry.
(new) king crab, meyer lemon, furikake, potato, chive
like a king crab shepherd’s pie, delicious. this reminded me of the blue crab simplissime at tesse
tandoori octopus, tamarind, yogurt, kumquat
So much going on here, but like most dishes at animal, eaten all together it’s totally balanced and just works.
bacon chocolate crunch bar, s&p ice cream
