Meat Eaters Unite at the Huntington Hotel

Where: 1075 California Street [map], San Francisco, ca, United States, 94108

Vegetarians and vegans should stop reading here. And they should probably avoid the Wild Game Week which starts November 7th at the Huntington Hotel's Big 4 Restaurant in San Francisco.

Don't think football with this Wild Game Week, try the good old game of hunting, slashing, and eating.

Attention meat eaters: here's your big chance to try the outré! How about some cornmeal-crusted crocodile, or lightly smoked corned buffalo hash, or wild boar loin, or rib eye of Himalayan yak! No, National Geographic Explorer is not hosting a dinner of animals that "didn't make it," but the Big 4 Restaurant is hosting their annual ~WILD GAME WEEK~! One of the nation's premier game chefs, Executive Chef Gloria Ciccarone-Nehls has been holding it down at the Big 4 for 27 years. Go Gloria.

If you're wary that this will be one big, scary, hairy, meat-eating extravaganza with wooden tables and benches and men wearing animal skins instead of clothes, don't forget that the Huntington Hotel is a classy joint and Big 4 holds several prestigious awards. Although Big 4 does sound like the name of a backwoods eatery in Georgia somewhere, it's actually named after the nation's four most famous railroad tycoons of the nineteenth century – C.P. Huntington, Charles Crocker, Leland Stanford, and Mark Hopkins.

If you do go, try the cornmeal-crusted crocodile as we've always wondered what that tasted like.
