Peads & Barnetts

Excellent excellent pork. Got a porterhouse here, put on salt/​pepper, rested for an hour then pan-​seared w a little garlic and rosemary and finished in oven. It was some of the best pork I’ve ever eaten. If you ever think pork is limited to bacon and sausage, try searing up one of these pork chops (get a little crunch on the outside and leave the inside slightly pink), it’ll rival the best steak you’ve had.

I bought some ham steaks for my Dr. Seuss breakfast – green eggs from Arcuna hens, and ham from Peads & Barnetts. The ham steaks were incredible! Wonderful smoky flavor. Quite delicious, and totally worth the money. I can’t wait to go back to the farmer’s market to get something else!

The most delicious bacon I have ever had in my life. Now looking forward to buying more of their wonderful pork. Very nice service, as well.

This is the BEST pork we’ve ever had. Tender and flavorful. It’s so much better than most store stuff, you’d think it was a different breed altogether! Plus we love that they use Square.

So happy there’s heritage pork «readily» available in LA now. Mr. Woolley may be uncertain of profitability, but those of us in LA who are so dependent on pork appreciate the effort.
Pro tips: 1) they take cards via Square
2) there’s 75:25 ground pork sold by the pound
3) shanks and shoulders ($ 10/​lb) are bone-​in, skin-​on, if you’re into those sort of thing.
They’re on the North side, towards the beach. Look for the bundle of flowers and the chalk boards.
I know Jimenez is a bit cheaper, but Peads & Barnetts is offering a wooly cross, and the mangalitsa boars are still not readily right now, so you’re paying for the breed. The fat cap on the belly looks beyond ridiculous.
