"It’s only Wednesday and you’ve already eaten seven salads this week. Good for you - now go eat as much meat as possible in one sitting. This restaurant on Fairfax has the most meat-heavy menu in town, with a smoked turkey leg that’s even more impressive than the one you get at Disneyland. Animal doesn’t pull the kind of crowds it did when it first opened, but it’s still one of the most exciting and consistently excellent dinners you can get in LA. The small space fills up in a hurry most nights - except for the first come, first serve bar in the back." - brant cox
