The Local Butcher Shop
Berkeley, California
Whether you're looking for beef, pork, lamb, or sausage, The Local Butcher Shop has you covered. This neighborhood shop — founded by former Chez Panisse chef Aaron Rocchino — offers sustainably raised meat, all of which comes from within 150 miles of the shop, has been pasture raised, and is antibiotic- and hormone-free. They bring in whole carcasses, so they can give you pretty much any cut you desire, and should your hunger get the better of you imagining all the tasty meals you'll be cooking, simply grab up their Sandwich of the Day, which is consistently fresh and consistently good.
