Have you seen the newest Food & Wine magazine?
It’s a good one, made even better if you have a Sharpie marker and a couple of giggly girlfriends around.
It’s all about the best new chefs of 2009. Â It’s about dudes (plus one ladydude) that are young, hip and magic in the kitchen… like Vinny Dotolo (bottom left with glasses) and Jon Shook (bottom middle with a heart drawn on his shirt) of a restaurant called Animal in Los Angeles.
Animal is the kind of place that turns lamb tongue into something I might actually consider eating… and enjoying. Â They also work wonders with chicken liver and rabbit loin. Â On the real.
My only concern is… well… only one awesome lady chef this year Food & Wine? Â Really?
I suggest you get this months issue. Â Also get a marker… maybe a glass of wine too. Â It’s Friday, do it up right.

Just came back from a trip to LA and did some serious meat-time at Animal. I swear every member of staff there is painfully hot, and – Pro-Tip: that little window separating the bar from the kitchen functions as a very convenient peep-show situation if you choose to sit at the bar for dinner. (Not that I would ever objectify hot-boys in such a manner…)
