Chefs Dylan Soro and Mario Amaral of don’t guess on the beef.
When meat is on the plate, it’s the star. And that means it has to deliver. No hiding it behind toppings. Just real flavor.
They choose Hook and Cleaver Ranch for the quality and, most importantly, the flavor.
At Savage Chef Bar and Grill, every dish is thoughtfully crafted with a refined, ingredient driven approach where each component has a purpose and the menu reflects that level of precision.
That’s the standard they cook to.

Rest it… or cut right in?
We put it to the test: 0 vs 6 vs 12 vs 18 minutes.
Same American Akaushi Wagyu. Same cook. Only one difference — time.
Watch what happens when you slice too early… and when you give it the time it deserves.
Because great beef isn’t just how you cook it — it’s how you finish it.
We sell all-natural American Akaushi Wagyu —
No hormones. No antibiotics.
Raised on Idaho mountain pastures.

Is marbling everything in a steak?
Chef Jurnie from Archive Steakhouse and Chef Mario from Savage Chef Bar & Grill share their take on a question that doesn’t get asked enough.
Marbling is just one piece of the flavor.�Breed, feed, and how the animal is raised shape what you actually taste.
At Hook & Cleaver Ranch, our American Wagyu is raised all-natural — no hormones, no antibiotics — with time spent on mountain rangeland and irrigated pastures, finished with a carefully balanced program to bring out depth of flavor.
Two chefs. Two perspectives.
Watch and decide for yourself.
