Om-Nom-Nom-nivore
“Whipper Burger”
Your inner carnivorous tendencies will come to life as you delve into this behemoth of a sando. Stacked with two Angus beef patties, melted cheese, shaved pastrami and a butterflied spicy hot link, oh boy, you will feel your mouth begin to salivate. Caution: don’t overdo it, bring the Tums.
Native Knowledge: Be sure to grab a fork and knife with this one, you’ll for sure be using it to finish of this beast.

Osso Full of Meat
Osso Bucco
How can you get a bloodthirsty monster to eat his vegetables? Put it on to a huge slab of slow-cooked meat still hanging for life on the bone. Maybe some Dean Martin in the background to boost the romanticism of the meal? Buon Appetito.
Native Knowledge: Don’t forget about the bone marrow, you’ll miss out on the most flavorful portion of the dish.

The Good Stuff
Prime Rib
The “Dinner Cut” is anywhere from 10 to 12 ounces of pure, delicious, carnivorous fantasy. Bloody and red-centered, never overcooked, dripping in umami juices…go ahead, it’s normal to treat yourself to the meat sweats.
Native Knowledge: DO NOT skip out on the horseradish or the creamy spinach, both are pure perfection.

Molto Buono!
Bistecca alla fiorentina
Ready to ball. This is known as one of LA’s most expensive meat dishes, but hell, it’s worth every penny. Cooked to a beautiful rare to mid-rare, you will be happy to risk heartburn to have just one more bite.
Native Knowledge: This is another one of Nancy Silverton’s notable restaurants, so be sure to bring an appetite to try as much as your stomach allows (and maybe more).

Quack, Quack!
Death by Duck
Sometimes a vampire or a zombie just wants to snack it out. This appetizer brings an American favorite topped with delicious duck and crispy duck skin. No, you hungry vamp, that’s not blood, it’s a delicious berry ketchup to dip the noms in.
Native Knowledge: The Long Beach location has a full bar and amazing cider selections for those not too beer-friendly.

Meat You There
Ribeye Cap
Transport yourself to Buenos Aires, get your appetite ready for some flavor. Some bread and chimichurri to start you off and then go H.A.M. on this beef. Don’t forget your Malbec.
Native Knowledge: This dish is meant for two, but who’s to say you can’t conquer it solo? That’s what takeout boxes are for, right?

Steak Out
Lock & Key Social Drinkery (LKSD)
Tomahawk Steak
This is basically a meat lollipop. Your inner child screams and your outer adult quivers with joy. Famously marketed as “bigger than your head,” you may never want to eat anything else again, but, you know, F*ck Salad, right?!
Native Knowledge: If you aren’t feeling very adventurous, their burger menu will supply similar satisfaction.

BBQ-T
KBBQ
What makes more sense than KBBQ in K-Town? All you can eat selection for $20+ with selections from your traditional brisket to beef tongue and marinated pork belly.
Native Knowledge: It’s best to bring a KBBQ regular with you. This lets you sit back and enjoy the sights while your new bestie orders (and cooks) all the good stuff for you.

Later, Mickey D’s
Big Mec Burger
Ludo Lefebvre knows how to construct a burger. Two deliciously cooked patties topped with a foie gras-infused Bordelaise sauce and melted cheddar…I see you drooling there a bit.
Native Knowledge: Knowing Lefebvre, the new foie gras ban won’t stop him from creating a delicious substitute in the Bordelaise.
