Paul, the butcher, has more than 43 years in the trade and works with an apprentice, Jay, alongside his wife Catherine and their three children. The shop sells USDA Prime beef, cut by hand, including filet, rib eye, strip, porterhouse, tri-tip, hanger and whole brisket, plus air-chilled, antibiotic-free chicken, heritage pork, American lamb and milk-fed veal.
