| - Black hoof is one of those places you gotta try once (or twice). The hype of serving recession meat is enough to pique my interest.
We arrived at 5:30 and there was a short lineup by the door, which can be an indication of really good food, or just plain hype. I have to know which one.
We ordered the horse tartare, which for me, was the highlight of the meal. Good presentation, it had a raw egg on top, which held all the robust flavours together. The idea of eating raw horsemeat was exciting, and I was pleasantly surprised. I could have finished this dish by myself. We also ordered the bone marrow, which was exactly what it was. It was bland for my taste, but the chimichurri added a bit of life to the otherwise plain taste. Next was the pork jowl, crispy fried on the outside, but juicy and flavour on the inside. Decent beer selections, I wouldn't mind coming for seconds to try other items on the menu if I'm in the area.
