Back in July, we ran a list of the 12 Epic Meals to Try Before You Die, including long tasting menus at the likes of wd~50 at Brooklyn Fare with a few large format feasts thrown in. But with the rise of these group effort type meals —the whole lamb dinner at the Breslin, the 24 - ounce burger at M. Wells—they may deserve some attention all their own. So without further ago, here is a guide to all the best large format meals in New York, whether it be an entire animal, or just a tremendous and ungodly portion of food. Get some friends together and make a night of it. And as always, if there's a crucial option missing, please add it in the comments.
