The Diners Club | Animal

The Diners Club continues...The monthly review by four self-proclaimed discerning bellies & occasionally two beastie bellies.  So, I just might be the 5,345,896th person to review Animal, the restaurant.  I'm feeling alright about that.  In a nutshell, Animal is pretty much good.  Do you like meat?  Do you like tasty meat?  Do you like tasty, tender, juicy meat?  How about tasty tender meat, with gravy, and then on top of FRIES?!  DID YOUR MINDHOLE JUST EXPLODE?  Well, it should've.  Because, that particular dish my friends is nothing short of spectacular.  

A few dishes that really stand out in my mind beyond the beef/gravy/over fries dish -- are the sweetbreads dish -- which had initially scared me.  Fear not friends!  Sweetbreads -- actually quite tasty, esp. prepared Animal style.  And there was a side of delicata squash which had me swooning.  For real.  I was singing it's praises for a good portion of the evening.  At the very end we ordered a rack of ribs -- nice light closing to the meal.  They were good, not amazing, but good.  But, I think by that time it was like... "That was really meat-y".  My recommendation is to not over-do it on the ordering even though the smells from the kitchen will lure you into wanting more and more... Go forth and get your Animal on.
