The Local Butcher Shop [Berkeley, CA]

I agree their PATE is pretty good, but I miss the phenomenal CORNED BEEF they used to have.

They only had it occasionally; it was un incredible deal at ~$14.

Regrettably, but understandably, the price rose >20% – but it was still worth it.

Then it became “consistently average” … after 4 or 5 times of the lower standard, I gave up. I dont know enough about meat/corning to speculate about what happened. It was so different – even visually – it was essentially a different product.

The sandos are decent, but at that location/comparable price, I usually have preferred the lunch options from GREGOIRE. Although honestly I’m usually just getting a slice at CHEESEBOARD [I have been to CHEESEBOARD more than 500 times].
