"An owner-operated butchery whose proprietor prepares and supplies large, traditional quinceañera spreads, including birria alongside red rice, beans, cold macaroni salad, and additional requests such as shredded roast chicken, chicken alfredo, a salad bar, and sliced white bread. The business reflects the quince tradition of abundant, easy-to-serve fare—often provided via taco stands offering meats like carne asada, lengua, and cabeza—that feeds crowds all day and into the night and encourages guests to take food home." - Andrea Aliseda
"Writers also grieved the loss of Jered Standing, mentioning that "we lost two noteworthy chefs in 2024," and describing the year as "heartbreaking" for the local restaurant community." - Eater Staff
"Standing’s is a great butcher on Melrose in Weho with everything you’d expect - free-range chicken and duck, Heritage pork, tremendous amounts of beef - and a lot of stuff you wouldn’t, namely 10 different kinds of house-made sausages, including merguez, chorizo, hot Italian, fennel, and chicken, all around $15/lb. Order for pick-up or delivery via their website." - brett keating
"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
"I see that Standing’s Butchery is bringing back its burger pop-up on June 2 — the first since founder Jered Standing's passing in February — serving the classic grilled burgers it's known for, made with grass-fed, grass-finished beef from the shop." - Rebecca Roland
