Eat Your Heart Out: All Organ Meat Dinner at Test Kitchen Tonight
Something so simple as country pate would be too tame for the upcoming offal dinner at Test Kitchen (Photo by Lindsay William-Ross/LAist)
If you're having trouble getting into the macabre Halloween spirit, this dinner should do it for you. Tonight, the Test Kitchen will host chefs Jason Mattick (Milo and Olive), Ori Menashe (Bestia), Kevin Meehan (Kali Dining), Ari Taymor (Alma), Kevin Van (formerly of Providence, now working at the soon-to-open Bestia), and Sarah Asch for a meal revolving around oft-forgotten parts of the animal known as offal. The menu will include veal nerves, tuna heart, duck giblets, lamb heart, pork blood, veal tongues, and more.
We were kinda sorta joking when we said that foodies were responsible for the zombie epidemic, but add this to the zombiepacolypse dinner being hosted by the Dionicess and Beachwood Brewing crews, and we're beginning to think there might be some truth to the whole thing.
For more info on tonight's dinner and menu prices, check out the Test Kitchen website.
