"The opening of Animal, the meat-filled paradise on Fairfax, was comparable to that of Bestia - which we can’t really say about anywhere else. And while a lot of that hype surrounded specialties like pig ears and strange cuts of meat, Animal has slowly become a restaurant that excels at everything. Chicken liver toast, last-minute date nights, hamachi tostadas, business dinners, and solo meals with one of our favorite-ever burgers - Animal can do it all." - Jess Basser Sanders
