Prime Selection Inc

Sun Valley, Los Angeles · Butcher · $$$

Sun Valley is where a lot of what ends up on Los Angeles menus is stored and cut, and Prime Selection is one of the purveyors on that stretch of Sherman Way, dealing in USDA Prime, dry-aged beef, Japanese wagyu and Kobe alongside lamb, veal and game. It is a supply business rather than a restaurant, vacuum-packing and shipping cuts to professional kitchens and to anyone who orders direct, which is how most people will meet it. Buying here means cooking the same beef the good steakhouses serve, with the dining room cut out entirely.
