Herd Provisions

The gist: A restaurant and whole animal butcher shop had a kid, and they named it Herd Provisions. With access to owner Alec Bradford’s Leaping Water Farm in Virginia, stocked with rare 100% grass-fed White Park cattle, the restaurant focuses on quality meats that are completely traceable and consistently raved about. The spot also serves as a butcher and provisions ship, offering frozen cuts, local cheeses, and wines handpicked by Kelli Holmes.
The food: It’s obvious that beef is the star of the show. Brussels Sprouts in black garlic shoyu and Beef Fat Fries and Tartare are the way to start. Juicy Steak entree and Steak Frites will satisfy any carnivore’s palate and give you a sense of place while the burger menu is similarly stellar (the Poutine Burger, laden with white cheddar and fried shallots, is everything). But don’t fret if you’re a vegetarian, as there’s a whole menu for that, with items like savory Shakshuka, Mushroom Pappardelle, and Sweet Potato Fries with smoked paprika aioli. On Tuesday through Saturday from 4 to 6 pm, the price is right on a selection of happy hour drinks and small plates, including an $8 Blues Burger and a tasty $6 Kale Caesar Salad.
