A Cut Above Butcher Shop

A Cut Above Butcher Shop is a whole animal butcher shop in Santa Monica run by Eddy Shin, a chef and self-taught butcher with over 20 years of culinary experience. Shin honed his skills at Nick & Stef's Steakhouse in Downtown Los Angeles, spent seven years with the Patina Group under Joachim Splichal, and served as Executive Chef at Primitivo Wine Bistro. He also trained at the noted Fleisher's Grass-Fed & Organic Meats in Kingston, NY. His expertise in dry aging earned him a feature on the History Channel's 'Modern Marvels' episode 'The Butcher'. Alongside butcher counter offerings, the shop also serves a deli menu of sandwiches, salads, chili, and more, made from the meats it butchers.
