"Butchr Bar’s menu of market salads, marinated olives, and sliced salumi might look generic, but this casual Aussie-owned spot in Echo Park with pink walls and a French pop playlist takes its meats as seriously as its natural wine. That might mean lamb speck and boar salami cured in-house, smoked trout shaved over Clark Street rye, or grilled sausages that audibly pop when cut. But where Butchr Bar’s menu really shines are the steaks, including a six-ounce dry-aged wagyu cut that’d cost double at a fancy steakhouse. If your server suggests a shot of lemon and biodynamic olive oil for dessert, go with it." - brant cox
