We went to collect Miles from the Antica Macelleria Cecchini last weekend and had a long, five course meal, all meat.  It was about a three hour drive and a three hour meal.  So it kind of evens out.  The meat was mostly consumed raw or seared.  The menu was as follows:

• Brustico di suhi del Chianti – beef sushi
• Costata alla Fiorentina – bone-in Rib eye or Strip steak
• Bistecca Panzanese – Panzanese steak
• Bistecca Fiorentina – T-bone or Porterhouse steak

all served with

• Pinzimonio di verdure dell’orto – Garden vegetables with olive oil
• Fagioli all’olio – Tuscan beans with olive oil
• Patate e cipolle al cartoccio – Baked potatoes and onions
• Burro del Chianti – Chianti butter – LARDO BUTTER!
• Pane Toscano
• Vino mio – house red wine
• Torta all’olio – olive oil cake
• Caffe alla moka – coffee
• Grappa del Macellaio – Grappa Cecchini

The meal was pretty darn tasty.  So much meat.  If you’re craving meat,lots and lots of meat, this is your place.  Here’s Dario declaring that the meat is ready.  Many, many more pictures after the jump.  Check ’em out.
