Recommend your favorite meats to eat
January 14th, 2009
In my quest for carnivore knowledge, I am looking to meet meat in the best possible light, meaning in the most delicious manner. I’ve had a lot of great suggestions from friends, including:
- Back Forty’s “$4 starter of ‘Pork Jowl Nuggets with Jalepeno Jam’ which is, I swear, the single greatest dish being served in New York City right now” - From Felix, who also recommends the bone marrow at Prune, which I had on my list via vegetarian-hating Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations show already.
- Julyne recommends the beef tongue at WD-50, saying the offal menu is “to die for”
- “I recommend you go straight to Mario Batali for pork ” says Amy.
So, have you had a piece of spectacular meat? Know where they will cook my goose? Are you hopping with joy over a rabbit pot pie? Leave me a comment and let me know where to meat next.

Watt’s Grocery in Raleigh, North Carolina has the BEST steak… and a great chicken liver and lardon salad.

If you’re lucky enough to be in or near a city with Fogo de Chão, go there. Amazing Brazilian beef in about 11 different styles, all served Gaucho style.

I immediately thought about particular chefs, but another way to look at it is by cuisine. You really can’t go wrong with lamb curry or the delicious slices of Korean Barbecue beef. For Jamaican, try the curried goat or stewed oxtail at Maroon’s in Chelsea. And how about comfort food? There’s nothing so good in this kind of weather as a nice slab of meatloaf with a side of mac and cheese.
Damn, I’m really hungry now.

Try a goat curry. If you visit Ann Arbor, I can show you where the goat meat shines. But you’re on your own for a proper Indian resto in NYC.
