A Pandemic Cookie Sensation Hopes to Raise Some Dough | Eater LA

"More than just a meat market, Meat & Essentials in San Marino (2004 Huntington Drive) is helmed by seasoned butcher Eagle Yu and sells cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and chicken sourced from farms focused on pasture-raised animals and regenerative practices; there’s also a cafe element led by Mel Cain (formerly of West Hollywood’s Coffee + Food) offering an Aussie-style coffee menu made on a refurbished La Marzocco Linea machine from 1994. The shop also stocks pantry items and prepared takeaway foods including pastries, sandwiches made with in-house deli meats and sausages, and breakfast quesadillas, and — though still in its nascent opening — is celebrating a grand opening and start of regular hours on Friday, September 9." - Karen Palmer
