Our Story
Our story is one of passion, and a commitment to bringing the highest quality ingredients to those who truly appreciate them. Moving to California from Boston, co-founder Brian Smith saw that the neighborhood butcher shops he had known and worked in growing up in New England had evolved into big-box grocery stores selling mass-produced prepackaged meat.
Brian and partner Robert Hagopian are avid home-cooks who wanted access to the same quality cuts available in the best restaurants and steakhouses in the world. So, in 2014 they opened their first Location in Costa Mesa with a singular goal: to offer the finest meats and ingredients to everyone from discerning home cooks to the most elite culinary professionals. Since then, their vision has grown into four locations including a Manhattan Beach shop soon to join the fold.

Our butchers
Our traditionally trained Butchers are not only highly skilled, giving you the best cuts for your money, but also know their stuff when it comes to recommending the right choice for you and your family.
Each staff member has their own special interests and skill-set. Some are craft beer aficionados, others are wine buffs, some pride themselves on being masters of the grill. Whoever you speak to is sure to point you in the right direction because we truly love what we do.
