Electric City Butcher is the premiere whole animal butcher shop in Orange County. Founded in 2014, by Chef Michael Puglisi, the Santa Ana-based shop provides responsibly sourced hormone and antibiotic-free meats from small, family-owned farms throughout California. We guarantee that our hand-crafted charcuterie, sausages, and cut-to-order meats are of unparalleled quality. Chef Michael has butchery in his ancestry, with his Sicilian family breaking down animals like they have for centuries. His curiosity in the craft got him work at Barbara Lynch’s The Butcher Shop in Boston, Fountaine Bleu Hotel and Resort and at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon, Los Angeles. As a result, Electric City Butcher combines an Old World nostalgia with the most cutting-edge culinary techniques to make it one of the best butcher shops in the country.
