BUTCHERS

[barrett_woodhaven]

Summertime - grilling season - my favorite time of the year.

I live in Marina Del Rey and I find that I don't have a trusted butcher. I do love the meats at Whole Foods and Bristol Farms but they lack that old world connectivity of a trusted butcher who goes out of their way to please you ...

I know true butchers/butcher shops are becoming an endangered species, BUT - any solid recommendations?

Thanks in advance ...

I only go to kosher butchers, but they are very good for that kind of meat. I like Doheny Kosher and Kosher club both on Pico.
I know a lot of people like the butchers at Farmers Market on Third and Fairfax. There are two butchers there that people love.
Also, there is a butcher on the north side of Olympic just east of San Vincente. I believe it is called Guss. They supply to a lot of restaurants and I have heard good things abouth them.

You're referring to Harvey's Guss Meats. He is the best but note his special ordering requirements.

You might try Bob's market on @ 20th and Ocean Park. I think they have several butchers there. I've had great meat from them--house made brats, steaks, fresh ground beef, etc. Its reasonably priced too.

Just to help out those who may come across this post in the future and then look for Bob's on 20th and Ocean Park; It's actually on the SW corner of 17th St. and Ocean Park Blvd.
