Is there any place in the east bay which has a decent dry aged rib-eye? Doesn’t need to be a full-on steakhouse or anything (though anything else seems unlikely).
Edit: if there’s an answer for the same question re: SF, or, heck, even the south bay, I’d be interested in those too.
would you feel comfortable cooking it yourself? edward’s aged meats is based in the east bay Online Shop — Edward's Dry Aged Meats
In SF there is Alexander’s Steakhouse with dry-aged steaks (they are also in the South Bay)
And for a more Japanese-American take there is Niku
lol alexander’s steakhouse is stupiiiiid expensive but hey they have a market for it
I don’t have a grill right now and might want to practice cooking steaks with a pan, but it looks pretty straightforward. Do you know if they have a physical storefront? (I suppose I can always DM him on Instagram or something, too.)
Yikes; it’s been a few years since I’ve been to the one in Pasadena, but it sure has gotten pricey. At that markup I might prefer to do it myself.
been a while since I’ve looked, but I think they do have local pickup!
I’ve had really good dry-aged steaks at Bobo’s on Lombard in SF.
I’m not impressed with their sides though, if that’s important to you.
Baron’s Meat in the Alameda Marketplace.
Epic Steak in SF.
Alexander’s menu is not my idea of what a steakhouse should offer. QR Restaurant Menu
Their current menu doesn’t have any (or, at least, none of their steaks are described that way) - do you know if they’re a “sometimes” sort of thing, or if they just don’t advertise the fact that their meat is dry-aged even when they do have it?
Sorry, my mistake – currently only their bone-in New York seems to be dry-aged. I know that they used to have numerous dry-aged cuts, but now that I think about it, that was several years ago.
I buy most of my meat from Cream but I wish they had Midwestern corn-finished beef.
