When North County residents want a premium cut of meat, they can now head to The Wise Ox at The Beacon in La Costa, a chef-driven butcher shop where they'll find the same beef, pork, lamb, and chicken used across Trust Restaurant Group, all hand-cut by butchers who know their meats. All animals are pasture-raised, naturally subsisting on a diet of grass and grain before harvesting, and are free of hormones and fillers.
"The Heart & Trotter butcher shop, which opened in 2015 on El Cajon Boulevard, has changed hands and will now be part of the Trust Restaurant Group (TRG), the hospitality collective behind Trust, Fork Oak, Cardellino, Rare Society and Mr. Trustee. The whole animal butchery, founded by James Holtslag and Trey Nichols, is scheduled to close temporarily on Labor Day for a revamp and will be reopening in mid-September as The Wise Ox Butcher & Eatery." - Candice Woo
"The North Park shop prides itself as a whole animal butchery meaning you can buy a whole steer. Regular cooks looking for more manageable cuts of meat can also order pork shoulders, lamb chops, rib roasts, and brisket." - Darlene Horn
"This North Park butcher is carrying a selection of fresh meats and sausages. Also available are whole steer options starting at $8 a pound for quarter up to $7 a pound for whole." - Darlene Horn
