David Ansill’s been coming up with some interesting themes for his recurring Thursday night tastings since taking the helm at NoLibs’ Spanish spot Bar Ferdinand. Now it’s looking like the chef will tap into the animalistic instincts that garnered so much glory at his defunct restaurants Pif and Ansill for his next round of prix fixe dinners. Word came today that he’s going to riff on nose-to-tail for October’s tastings. That means pigs heads, ears and trotters will be on order for a pork-focused affair, while lambs tongues and sweetbreads will be featured on another. Keep reading to see his next batch of menus.
