Its all great. Outstanding steak. Their flatbread variation is classic. Just a great place and that aint no fucking joke!
Just cutting back on meat intake, butter and fatty foods… All the fun stuff 
I seriously gotta fucking do that too
fucking sux.
and that ain’t no fucking joke.
too many fucking Dabney Colemans, pastrami burrito loaded with chili and cheddar, and GCM Burgers.
and don’t get me fucking started on a Langer’s triple pastrami sandwich sided with chili cheese pastrami fries.
The first couple of months are the most difficult … serious withdrawal symptoms
yeah, that’s what I was pretty worried about, and that ain’t no fucking joke.
A trip to Gary Menes’ LE COMPTOIR will make that withdrawl feel better. You won’t feel cheated at all!
Just checked out Le Comptoir’s menu, sounds wonderful, thanks for the rec.
Go for it, Sgee!
I’ve eaten there maybe a dozen times since they opened, and while I haven’t been in the post-Colby era, all the salads and side veggies have been super fucking dope. The copious amounts of oil used probably doesn’t hurt things.
Our standard order for two is a charcuterie plate, some kind of large format meat thing, a salad, and a veg. Sometimes a dessert. And while the overeager upselling wait staff always encourages us to order more, we always leave with leftovers (and we’re pretty aggressive eaters).
Anybody try the Bistecca Fiorentina? Should i get that over the chop and bone pie?
Definitely the bistecca. The bone marrow pie isn’t all that substantial (rich, but not a lot of food), so you could conceivably do both the steak and use the pie as a marrow chaser.
I say get the tomahawk pork chop and skip the bistecca. The markup on the bistecca isn’t worth it for me. You could get several appetizers (razor clams and fried trotters), an additional meat entree plus the pork chop for the price of the bistecca
I would say get the lamb neck but it wasn’t there the last time I went a couple of months ago.

I think Charcoal is the new Chi Spacca.
Went tonight - still getting it’s Sea Legs as far as service but holy Sh#t the food was great.
Word.
I really want this to be true…damn
What!? Heathen! Only chi spacca can make me order Korean kalbi in Hollywood. #teamMozza
I did not see any galbi on the menu
The leg of lamb was great especially with the marrow filled femur
.
Really? I was there when Silverton and Colby debuted the kalbi at the beef dinners #RIP (making sure to point out it was marinated in pineapple juice, and maybe kiwi to make it more tender). I thought it was okay but prefer the unmarinated kalbi at Parks all day any day. It was probably my least favorite beef dish of the beef dinner.
Charcoal is nowhere near Hollywood is it?
Heck, it’s not even in Venice like I thought, it appears to be in Marina Del Ray:
425 Washington Blvd, Marina Del Rey, CA 90292
The Bistecca is very good, but I would go with the chop.
