The Huntington Meats

Located in the Original Farmers Market, Dan Vance and Jim Cascone's butcher shop has been a neighborhood standby since 1986 and whom Nancy Silverton calls on for her nearby Short Order's burgers. Locals drop in for 21-day aged meat, sausages from traditional sweet Italian and Bratwurst to more exotic wild boar and alligator Andouille, beef jerky, stocks and housemade grilling sauces and marinades. Carnivores and butcher wannabes can learn all about beef and sausage making in regularly scheduled, on-site classes.
