In New York City, Pat LaFrieda is synonymous with top-notch beef. It was founded as a Brooklyn butcher shop by Anthony LaFrieda in 1922, and since then the company has been passed down through the generations and is today run by LaFrieda’s great-grandson, Pat. LaFrieda and his team work with restaurants to ensure that they’re getting the best possible product from a network of small, family-owned farms, and theyre veritable superstars in the meat world.
