"Putting out a nice meat spread for everybody is one thing, but grilling it all in the backyard (congrats on the digs) is elevating yourself to Big Game Royalty. LA is full of great butcher shops, but few places beat the quality of meats coming out of Standing’s. The Melrose butcher shop specializes in ethically sourced, sustainable meat and poultry, and the taste speaks for itself. Outside of regular cuts, Standing’s also sells burger patties, meatballs, skewers, and a rotating list of housemade sausages that range from fennel and hot honey to cashew chicken. Local delivery is available, but we recommend paying them a visit to ensure you get the best cuts of the day. " - brant cox
