Liver, liver, liver

Which restaurant serves the best liver in the Twin Cities?

Also, where can I purchase excellent liver sausage? (Or is this stuff called braunschweiger? sp?)

Thanks.

15-20 years ago, whatever the name of the Japanese joint is across from the Hyatt...they used to make a soy-sauce based liver appetizer on the grill. It was great. Anyone have a similar recipe?

While I'm a big liver fan, I prefer it in small doses. Like a nice pate or what have you. So for me, the chicken liver robata (skewer) at Masu is perfect. A few intensely flavored bites for a few bucks, and I'm on to the next one. And while I wouldn't call Masu a liver destination per se, I heartily recommend the place.

I will happily second the chicken liver robata @ Masu. On a recent visit, we kept ordering them everytime the server came back by. Luckily for us, it only takes about 2 minutes for them to make these things...so good.

Last time I was in Heartland's deli they had beef liver sausages - they are great, especially for grilling. That was about a week ago though, so not sure if they still have them or not.

My mother claims The Monte Carlo has the best liver. I have no idea if this is correct, I won't touch the stuff.

+1 on the Monte's liver.

This is kinda funny--it is my Mom's 79th birthday tomorrow (the 19th) and we are going to the Monte Carlo so she can have liver.

Butcher Block. Calves liver. Best I've had since Oddfellows closed (best venison liver I've had apart from St John's).

Certainly some of the old-school steak places in town serve calve's liver, but I rarely eat there (Jax, Lex, Mancinis maybe?).

Liver sausage: Kramarczuk's for sure. They also have several brands of braunschweiger including their own...braunschweiger being a type of smoked liver sausage, but not generally what one would mean when talking about "liver sausage" (eaten more like pate...we like it on wheat thins with beer mustard).

You are the best, Foureyes! I'll be making a field trip to Kramarczuk's and Butcherblock soon.
