It shows. His menu is a unique reflection of the French techniques he learned while cooking at Masa’s and \u003ca href=\"https://drycreekkitchen.com/\">Dry Creek Kitchen\u003c/a>, combined with the resourcefulness of a butcher’s son. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">An “honest” man, Mateo grew up watching his father rise at 2am to butcher animals in the family’s manzana before walking off to sell it in the mercado by 6am. It was the family business where Mateo learned not to waste a thing—something that he continues to practice today in his own kitchen, a rarity among chefs who often don’t have the time nor the knowledge to butcher every protein they use on their menu. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130640\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-130640\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/IMG_6409-e1538510190588.jpg\" alt=\"Mateo and father in the butchery\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1410\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mateo and father in the butchery \u003ccite>(Mateo Granados)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Butchering is the most important part of the kitchen,” he says. “I wanted to do my own butchering because I don’t think it’s really done anymore—it’s done by machine.” That means you can find Mateo most days in his kitchen. There, or picking vegetables from his half-acre garden at home that’ll eventually get used in his kitchen. It’s not an easy job, he admits, to source locally and sustainably, but it’s how he was raised. “I grew up using local ingredients, and that’s why I decided to practice it,” he says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Growing up in what he calls the “bread basket” of the Yucatan, about an hour from Merida, Mateo was raised by two generations of butchers.

It shows. His menu is a unique reflection of the French techniques he learned while cooking at Masa’s and \u003ca href=\"https://drycreekkitchen.com/\">Dry Creek Kitchen\u003c/a>, combined with the resourcefulness of a butcher’s son. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">An “honest” man, Mateo grew up watching his father rise at 2am to butcher animals in the family’s manzana before walking off to sell it in the mercado by 6am. It was the family business where Mateo learned not to waste a thing—something that he continues to practice today in his own kitchen, a rarity among chefs who often don’t have the time nor the knowledge to butcher every protein they use on their menu. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130640\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-130640\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/IMG_6409-e1538510190588.jpg\" alt=\"Mateo and father in the butchery\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1410\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mateo and father in the butchery \u003ccite>(Mateo Granados)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Butchering is the most important part of the kitchen,” he says. “I wanted to do my own butchering because I don’t think it’s really done anymore—it’s done by machine.” That means you can find Mateo most days in his kitchen. There, or picking vegetables from his half-acre garden at home that’ll eventually get used in his kitchen. It’s not an easy job, he admits, to source locally and sustainably, but it’s how he was raised. “I grew up using local ingredients, and that’s why I decided to practice it,” he says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Growing up in what he calls the “bread basket” of the Yucatan, about an hour from Merida, Mateo was raised by two generations of butchers. His father and all six uncles “owned the majority of the butcher stores in town” and taught him to respect the animal. That’s why the chef makes it a point to visit every farm from which he sources his meat.

And I, for one, have tried to deny the existence of the trend. I learned how to make stock from animal bones and regularly use it for cooking, but I would have never thought to pour it into a paper coffee cup and sell it for $8 as a restorative tonic. I know the cold-healing power of a good chicken soup, so I’d never deny the health benefits of mineral- and collagen-rich stock. But still I hesitate when I see so many stocks in grocery stores and butcher shops rebranded as Paleo-friendly bone broth. Are any of them worth the extra price tag that the name engenders? Or are they simply a ploy for our hard-earned dollars? Clearly, I needed to investigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, there are what seems like an infinite number of bone broths available. As it was impossible to narrow my list down to a definitive number of local broths, I decided to make the very unscientific decision of tasting broths that were easy for me to purchase at or near my North Berkeley home. (I chose to taste only beef bone broth, as it is the “classic” preparation.) Depending on where you live, you may have access to more or less than these, most of the best broths follow a pattern — they come from butchers, not broth- or Paleo-specific companies. So if you can’t find my favorite bone broths near your home, seek out your local butcher shop, and they’ll likely sell you something good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or else you can make it yourself.

I drank my full tasting mug of the stuff and then, true to form, used the rest to make stew. At $12 for a quart, Clove & Hoof’s broth is one of the cheapest available.

The gelatin and collagen extracted from the bones turns the broth almost creamy, which will either be lovely or unpleasant, depending on your preferences. Like Clove & Hoof, Mama Tong makes a well-balanced bone broth, with a welcome lack of greasiness. It is, however, quite expensive, at $23.99 for one quart. Some of that cost is tied into the ordering method (Good Eggs), but the rest likely comes from the organic and pasture-raised ingredients.

Plus, The Local Butcher sources excellent meat and their extra-rich stock is exquisite for cooking. The dark stock, likely made from roasted bones, has deep meatiness like a grilled grass-fed burger. It is rich in both collagen and gelatin, which means it adds a succulent texture to sauces. Personally, I couldn’t drink it on its own. Its intensity was too overpowering. But I keep this stock in the freezer for cooking projects and you should too.

Bonafide Provisions could be good for sipping for beginners, but in my kitchen, I imagine using it more as a multi-purpose stock. Because the beef flavor isn’t overpowering, it would work well for cooking grains or making a vegetable soup. Plus, at $7.99 for 24 ounces, it is the cheapest bone broth I could find.

The Berkeley Paleo-centric (and strictly organic, grain- and soy-free) cafe opened in the Gourmet Ghetto about 18 months ago, and it has netted both enthusiastic praise from diet-devotees and plenty of head-scratching from others. Kind of like bone broth. The cafe sells prepared meals, broths, and sauces as take-away items in addition to regular table service. Its bone broth is, well, interesting. Unlike all of the other bone broths above, Mission Heirloom explicitly tries not to extract collagen and gelatin from the bones, believing that these lead to an excess of free glutamate (basically MSG) in the broth. So the result is a much thinner broth than all of the others, with none of that mouth-coating texture. Mission Heirloom also adds ginger to their beef broth, which competes, rather than balances its intense beefy flavor. I didn’t find it pleasant to drink, and I would be worried that it would compete with other flavors when using it for cooking.

And I, for one, have tried to deny the existence of the trend. I learned how to make stock from animal bones and regularly use it for cooking, but I would have never thought to pour it into a paper coffee cup and sell it for $8 as a restorative tonic. I know the cold-healing power of a good chicken soup, so I’d never deny the health benefits of mineral- and collagen-rich stock. But still I hesitate when I see so many stocks in grocery stores and butcher shops rebranded as Paleo-friendly bone broth. Are any of them worth the extra price tag that the name engenders? Or are they simply a ploy for our hard-earned dollars? Clearly, I needed to investigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, there are what seems like an infinite number of bone broths available. As it was impossible to narrow my list down to a definitive number of local broths, I decided to make the very unscientific decision of tasting broths that were easy for me to purchase at or near my North Berkeley home. (I chose to taste only beef bone broth, as it is the “classic” preparation.) Depending on where you live, you may have access to more or less than these, most of the best broths follow a pattern — they come from butchers, not broth- or Paleo-specific companies. So if you can’t find my favorite bone broths near your home, seek out your local butcher shop, and they’ll likely sell you something good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or else you can make it yourself.

The broth is neither greasy nor overwhelmingly sticky with gelatin, but it does taste nourishing and pleasantly filling. It tastes, in other words, like a good stock that I would make myself. I drank my full tasting mug of the stuff and then, true to form, used the rest to make stew. At $12 for a quart, Clove & Hoof’s broth is one of the cheapest available.

It is intensely beefy, but not unpleasant, with some sweetness from the carrots and celery added to the pot. The gelatin and collagen extracted from the bones turns the broth almost creamy, which will either be lovely or unpleasant, depending on your preferences. Like Clove & Hoof, Mama Tong makes a well-balanced bone broth, with a welcome lack of greasiness. It is, however, quite expensive, at $23.99 for one quart. Some of that cost is tied into the ordering method (Good Eggs), but the rest likely comes from the organic and pasture-raised ingredients.

Plus, The Local Butcher sources excellent meat and their extra-rich stock is exquisite for cooking. The dark stock, likely made from roasted bones, has deep meatiness like a grilled grass-fed burger. It is rich in both collagen and gelatin, which means it adds a succulent texture to sauces. Personally, I couldn’t drink it on its own. Its intensity was too overpowering. But I keep this stock in the freezer for cooking projects and you should too. The price, $7 for 14 ounces or $14 for about a quart, is (shockingly) fairly cheap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Runner Up, Cooking: \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bonafideprovisions.com/our-products/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Bonafide Provisions Beef Bone Broth\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_107301\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/Real-Bone-Broth-vertical.jpg\" alt=\"Real True Foods is now called Bonafide Provisions.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2326\" class=\"size-full wp-image-107301\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/Real-Bone-Broth-vertical.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/Real-Bone-Broth-vertical-400x485.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/Real-Bone-Broth-vertical-800x969.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/Real-Bone-Broth-vertical-768x930.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/Real-Bone-Broth-vertical-1440x1745.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/Real-Bone-Broth-vertical-1180x1430.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/Real-Bone-Broth-vertical-960x1163.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Real True Foods is now called Bonafide Provisions. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I like Bonafide Provisions for cooking for the opposite reasons.

Bonafide Provisions could be good for sipping for beginners, but in my kitchen, I imagine using it more as a multi-purpose stock. Because the beef flavor isn’t overpowering, it would work well for cooking grains or making a vegetable soup. Plus, at $7.99 for 24 ounces, it is the cheapest bone broth I could find.

The Berkeley Paleo-centric (and strictly organic, grain- and soy-free) cafe opened in the Gourmet Ghetto about 18 months ago, and it has netted both enthusiastic praise from diet-devotees and plenty of head-scratching from others. Kind of like bone broth. The cafe sells prepared meals, broths, and sauces as take-away items in addition to regular table service. Its bone broth is, well, interesting. Unlike all of the other bone broths above, Mission Heirloom explicitly tries not to extract collagen and gelatin from the bones, believing that these lead to an excess of free glutamate (basically MSG) in the broth. So the result is a much thinner broth than all of the others, with none of that mouth-coating texture. Mission Heirloom also adds ginger to their beef broth, which competes, rather than balances its intense beefy flavor. I didn’t find it pleasant to drink, and I would be worried that it would compete with other flavors when using it for cooking.

It's owned by three women who were planning to open a restaurant, but instead wanted to bring fresh local meat directly to the community. The focus is on pasture-raised meat from small farms, and the shop has relationships with specific farmers for each of its animals -- for example, Avedano's pork comes from \u003ca href=\"http://llanoseco.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Llano Seco Rancho\u003c/a> in Chico. They work with whole animals, which are delivered weekly, and they also make pastrami, pates, and sausages. (There are even some dog treats. After all, the \u003cem>whole\u003c/em> animal has to get used somehow.) You can reserve special orders or buy a meat box.

The whole enterprise started in 2012 with an idea for a top-to-bottom meat provider. All the animals served in Belcampo come from the company's own farm near Mt. Shasta, where the rabbits, quail, chickens, and cows live in humane conditions. The farm-to-fork traceability means that Belcampo also owns and operates its own slaughterhouse 15 minutes away from its farm and runs the butcher shops where the meat is hand-cut. At most locations, you can buy fresh cuts of meat in the front and lunch or dinner at the restaurant in the back. Because Belcampo uses so many non-traditional cuts and focuses on freshness, you might need to ask the butcher or the waiter about what's best and what's in stock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.belcampomeatco.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Belcampo Meat Co.\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2405 Larkspur Landing Circle, Building 4 [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/2zRMX1\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nLarkspur, CA 94939\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 488-5810\u003cbr>\nHours: Butchery - Mon-Sat 9am-7pm; Sun 9am-6pm / Restaurant - Daily 11am-9pm, Closed 4pm-5pm\u003cbr>\n1909 Mission Street [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/hq31lO\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA 94103\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 914-0637\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri 11am-8pm; Sat-Sun 10am-7pm\u003cbr>\n1998 Polk Street [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/QGUBh3\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA 94109\u003cbr>\nPh:(415) 660-5573\u003cbr>\nHours: Butchery - Daily 10am-8pm / Restaurant - Mon-Thu 11:30am-10pm; Fri 11:30am-11pm; Sat 10:30am-11pm; Sun 10:30am-9pm, Closed Daily 3pm-5:30pm\u003cbr>\n855 El Camino Real, #161 [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/X7cUKY\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nPalo Alto, CA 94301\u003cbr>\nPh: (650) 561-3492\u003cbr>\nHours: Butchery - Mon-Sat 10am-7pm; Sun 10am-6pm / Restaurant - Mon-Sat 11am-8pm; Sun 11am-7pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/belcampomeatco\" target=\"_blank\">Bel Campo Meat Co.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/BelcampoMeat\" target=\"_blank\">@BelcampoMeat\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://instagram.com/belcampomeatco/\" target=\"_blank\">Belcampo Meat Co\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"none\" size=\"full\" ids=\"100167,100171,100168,100169,100172,100170\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though most people refer to it just as \u003cstrong>Boccalone\u003c/strong>, the full name is Boccalone Salumeria, which tells you exactly what you need to know about this little shop.

Olivier's has been open since 2011 in an unassuming street in the Dogpatch neighborhood that's right by the water. Olivier still hand-picks all the animals to be served up in his shop and visits each of the ranches he works with every week. Because French traditional cuts (and old-fashioned hand tools) are part of Olivier's staple, there are often some uniquely European specialties available in the wide open fridges. While much of the meat that comes through is beef, Olivier's also makes unique spiced sausages and serves up pork, lamb, and even veal at times. Order ahead for the super-aged beef, which is aged for 100, 165 or even over 200 days -- and sells out well in advance. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://oliviersbutchery.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Olivier's Butchery\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1074 Illinois Street [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/IlIsHf\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA 94107\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 558-9887\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Fri 11am-7pm; Sat 10am-6pm; Sun 10am-5pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Oliviers-Butchery-215945865096594/timeline/\" target=\"_blank\">Olivier's Butchery\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/frenchbutchery?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">@frenchbutchery\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://instagram.com/frenchbutchery/\" target=\"_blank\">FrenchButchery\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" size=\"full\" link=\"none\" ids=\"100211,100216,100214,100212,100213,100215,100217\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prather Ranch is exactly what it sounds like: \u003ca href=\"http://www.pratherranch.com/\" target=\"_blank\">a ranch.\u003c/a> Located up near Mt.

Shasta, where the rabbits, quail, chickens, and cows live in humane conditions. The farm-to-fork traceability means that Belcampo also owns and operates its own slaughterhouse 15 minutes away from its farm and runs the butcher shops where the meat is hand-cut. At most locations, you can buy fresh cuts of meat in the front and lunch or dinner at the restaurant in the back.

Loved it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Cheese Steak $15:\u003c/strong> thinly-sliced sirloin, onion confit, grilled trumpet mushrooms, pickled okra and warm beer cheese fondue on a hero roll. Given that a cheese steak is usually just a steak sandwich with cheese (or Cheese Whiz, in certain parts, like Philadelphia, where it originated) this was a vast improvement on the original. However, with the richness of the cheese fondue and mushrooms, we felt it tasted a bit like beef stroganoff in a roll. The pickled okra could have been played up to cut the richness, as it was barely noticed.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a broccoli cheese sandwich before, and with all the other offerings, it was a no-brainer that we were not going to choose this one, but I give them points for originality.

The most remarkable thing about this BBQ pork sandwich is that it is served without a drop of BBQ sauce. Instead, the meat is dressed in a vinegar sauce that gives it a mouth-watering tang. Pardon my French, but this is one tasty, juicy mofo. Also of note, the \u003cstrong>Potato Salad\u003c/strong> earns its keep here.

A generous heap of smoky \u003cstrong>Carolina-style Pulled BBQ Pork\u003c/strong>, topped with a generous heap of fresh \u003cstrong>Cole Slaw\u003c/strong> (that is thankfully, not drowning in mayo for once), all piled on top of that airy, soft-crumb bread I've fallen in love with here in the Big Easy. The most remarkable thing about this BBQ pork sandwich is that it is served without a drop of BBQ sauce. Instead, the meat is dressed in a vinegar sauce that gives it a mouth-watering tang. Pardon my French, but this is one tasty, juicy mofo. Also of note, the \u003cstrong>Potato Salad\u003c/strong> earns its keep here. Creamy and chunky, with lots of whole-grain mustard cutting it so it doesn't feel too heavy.
