Amid the coronavirus pandemic, customers are stocking up on meat as butcher shops try to keep up
Butcher shops have seen a dramatic rise in sales in the last week due to the virtual citywide quarantine, with many customers stocking up on cuts that lend themselves well to freezing and long cooking times.
“At first I was concerned about people panic buying, so if someone wanted to buy 10 pounds of beef I might limit them to 5,” Standing said. “But now I understand that most people just want to limit their trips to the store, so I try to suggest cuts that will freeze well and last: shoulder shanks, things like that.”
In Los Feliz, a socially distant line of people snaked down the block on Hillhurst Avenue in front of McCall’s Meat and Fish Co., a high-end butcher shop with sustainable meat and seafood. This week, Shin has taken orders over the phone 24 hours in advance, assigning customers a scheduled time when they can pull into the alley behind the butcher shop and have their briskets, short ribs and pork butts loaded into their car. He estimates the shop has fulfilled over 100 curbside orders, a number that he said will probably increase in the next few weeks.
