Our Story

From Humble Beginnings

La Parrilla Meat Market was born from a simple idea: that everyone deserves to experience the profound flavor of truly exceptional meat. Our founder, a third-generation butcher, saw a world of mass-produced, flavorless products and decided to bring back the art of traditional butchery. We started in a small neighborhood shop, with a commitment to sourcing only the best, and a passion for the craft that has been passed down through generations.

Johnathan 'Johnny' Carver

Head Butcher & Founder

With over 30 years of experience behind the block, Johnny is a true artisan. His journey began in his grandfather's shop, where he learned the time-honored techniques of whole-animal butchery.

His philosophy is simple: respect the animal, honor the craft, and never compromise on quality. It's this unwavering dedication that ensures every cut from La Parrilla Meat Market is a masterpiece.

The Art of the Cut

For us, butchery is an art form. It's about understanding the anatomy of the animal, the science of aging, and the subtle nuances that turn a good piece of meat into an unforgettable one. Each cut is a testament to our dedication, dry-aged to perfection to concentrate its flavor and hand-trimmed with precision. We believe the care we put into our work can be tasted in every single bite.
