How do you say delicious jumping marsupial in Australian? Kangaroo.

The bouncy and beloved animal is served up on skewers and in a number of other dishes at Eight Mile Creek. In a neighborhood known much better for pizza, pasta and cannolis, a taste of the outback is a welcome change for tourists trapped in Little Italy.

Update, 2018: This place is permanently closed.
