Summertime - grilling season - my favorite time of the year.

I live in Marina Del Rey and I find that I don't have a trusted butcher. I do love the meats at Whole Foods and Bristol Farms but they lack that old world connectivity of a trusted butcher who goes out of their way to please you ...

I know true butchers/butcher shops are becoming an endangered species, BUT - any solid recommendations?

Thanks in advance ...

hey thanks!

I was talking about new bars that are turning out classic cocktails with a bit of an updated/modern twist .... sorry for the confusion ;)

Need some help here Chow-downers!

I am looking for the best cocktails and mixologists in Hollywood / Downtown. However - looking for the up and comers who bring classic style to the bar ... I have been to the usuals: The Hungry Cat, Seven Grand, The Bar, Comme Ca ... etc. Whose changing the game out there?

Please send some recommendations!

Thanks!
