Woodsman’s shack serving up meat bonanza. Does both comfort food and “nasty bits,” to suit varying levels of daring. Offal of the day: skin three ways, tripe, smoked sweetbreads. Zombie alcoholics always love them some beer-battered brain. Fainter hearts not up for eating heart can chow down on burgers, deep-fried dogs, disco fries, eggs. Well-considered beer and wine lists, as you’d expect from a Spuyten Duyvil sibling. Rustic room with elaborate wood array. Saws on the walls and in the fixtures reinforce cutting-edge theme.

The menu says “Add bacon to anything” and the word “fried” appears about 10 times on it. Ding-ding-ding! Coronary jackpot! Gird those arteries and introduce them to St. Anselm, the new Williamsburg meat mecca from Joe Carroll, who also owns nearby ‘cue joint Fette Sau and beer bar Spuyten Duyvil. Seriously, the menu’s a heart-stopper: foie gras pierogi, fried gizzard confit, housemade sausages, corned lamb hash on fried bread. Carroll admits that the menu is a bit “all over the place”—although the one place he seems to return to a lot is Jersey, where he grew up: At St. Anselm, there are Newark-style hot dogs” (deep-fried wieners on pizza bread with peppers and onions), juicy White Manna–style burgers with gravy, and pork rolls. Consider it the fastest route from the Turnpike to Cholesterol-ville.
