Chopped Liver on Toast

Whenever I see liver on a restaurant's menu I get a little giddy.  I love a good chicken liver mousse, or chopped livers spread on toast.  I'm sure there are a lot of you out there who are a little hesitant or perhaps even averse to trying organ meats.  Honestly, it does take some courage to try.  But many times, the dishes made from such variety cuts are the tastiest dishes on the menu and clearly demonstrate the chef's talent in making something undesirable into something delectable.

There are two places in LA that make some delicious chicken liver toast - Animal and Pizzeria Mozza.  If you're ever at these places, order it.  There are not many simple dishes as savory and delicious as chicken liver toast.  And if you are at my restaurant, definitely order it.  I think I make some of the best.

on a sidenote...  Due to many reasons I won't disclose here, my originally planned location is no longer in the picture.  There were just too many obstacles to overcome.  However, I have found a new location and plan to open very soon.  Honestly, opening a restaurant is as difficult and frustrating as everyone said it would be.  It is not for the fainthearted.  I am learning so many valuable lessons through this whole process.  And I know God will always provide.
