Even if you haven’t heard of Master Purveyors, you’ve definitely heard of some of the legendary New York restaurants the famed butcher supplies steaks and burgers to: Peter Luger Steakhouse, 21 Club, Smith & Wollensky, Wolfgang’s Steakhouse and JG Melon, among countless others.
Master Purveyors was founded by Holocaust survivor Sam Solasz in 1957 in New York’s Meatpacking District. Today it’s still run by Sam's sons and grandsons, who inspect whole hanging sides of USDA Prime beef received daily to decide what’s sold fresh and what goes into their 1,600 square-foot dry-aging room. From proprietary burger blends to filet mignon and dry-aged tomahawk ribeyes, Prime beef (and bacon and sausage) doesn’t get much better than this.
