You call yourself a carnivore; you love a good cheeseburger... but just how intrepid are you? Are you willing to chow down on cubed raw liver and not because you lost a bet? If the answer is yes, we have just the place for you.

Takashi calls itself "The West Village's New Meat Mecca" and specializes in yakiniku, table-grilling Korean-style Japanese barbecue and horumon, meaning discarded goods or the nasty bit innards (see the slide show).

While the menu reads like an anatomy class: tongue, heart, cheek, first and forth stomachs, you can feel safe knowing that all of the beef is high-quality, coming from sustainable sources like Dickson's Farmstand Meats.

If there isn't enough sake in the world to get you to eat intestines and Achilles tendon, they do offer more standard cuts like short ribs, ribeye and skirt steak.

The cow theme continues with their featured dairy dessert: home-made Madagascar vanilla soft serve ice cream, with a choice of various toppings like black sesame and green tea syrup.

Be brave... just get into it.

Chef Fergus Henderson is credited with reviving the tradition of nose to tail cooking. He believes "it's only polite, once you've knocked the animal on the head, to eat it all." Here's his recipe for Deviled Kidneys.

Also try Boston chef Jamie Bissonnette's Pig Ear Terrine, Tripe Stew, and Garlic Blood Sausage, as well as Portland chef Erik Desjarlais' Crispy Calf Brain Fritters with Sauerkraut.
