"If there’s someone in town who knows meat in all of its shapes, cuts, and sizes, it’s chef Brad Wise of the Trust Restaurant Group (Trust, Rare Society, Cardellino, and Foart Oak). When he opened the Wise Ox in North Park, he shined a light on the dying art of butchery and made it easier for San Diegans to get their hands on a variety of meats he uses at his own restaurants and more: top-notch meat sandwiches and burgers. The daily menu selection features two main burgers including a double cheeseburger with two ground chuck patties, Thousand Island dressing, lettuce, and pickles. There’s also a statement-making dry-aged burger accompanied by house-cured bacon, melted havarti, mayonnaise, mustard, and pickles. Side it up: Diners can choose from an assortment of add-ons to accompany their burger such as the beef fat french fries, macaroni salad, and potato salad." - Roxana Becerril

Then there’s the dry-aged burger where the meat truly shines and is accompanied by house cured bacon, havarti, mayo, mustard and pickles." - Candice Woo, Helen I. Hwang
"Chef Brad Wise (TRUST, Cardellino, Fort Oak, Rare Society) is handling Thanksgiving from his Wise Ox butcher and sandwich shops in North Park and La Costa where you can order a Diestel turkey. Pick up extras like rib roast, sausages, and pork butter. Of course, Thanksgiving isn’t complete without a holiday pie from the executive pastry chef Jeremy Harville." - Helen I. Hwang
