Carnivore!

Thursday night we went out to a restaurant on the edge of the Nairobi National Park called Carnivore. The name speaks for itself. The facilities are huge including over 300 person seating, in numerous open rooms, a landing leading out into the bare naked forests, and a disco dance room surrounded by more tables and chairs. In the center of this vast establishment is the grilling pit attended by 8-15 Cooke's and servers who randomly come and go.

While they are busy grilling whole carcasses waiters wonder in and around the pit with swords staked through ready grilled meats. This fleshy feast consists of any poachable beast under the African sun. Amongst Carnivore's finest delicacies are Ostrich meatballs, Gator steak, lamb, chicken, beef, pork... and a much more.

What happens is, you sit down at your table. Your server brings you your drink of choice, a plethora of sauces, salad, soup, and bread. Then and only then, the massacre is served. Guys dressed in stripped safari aprons haul a choice carcuss to your table on a sward and hack of the meat right onto your place. They continue to bring meat to your table until you've had your fill and are forced to surrender the little white flag on your table. AHhaha, what a beautiful finish. THEN they top off your meal with dessert and coffee. All of which is bundled into one tight price. I don't know how much cuz I didn't pay but I imagine it is expensive cuz the performance alone is worth a pretty penny.
