One of the very few certified humane ranches in California, Prather Ranch
is a sustainable, organic meat company with a philosophy of “a deep
understanding of the importance of low stress cattle handling,
responsible stewardship of the land and a desire to provide a stable and
satisfying life for those who work on the ranch.” Doug Stonebreaker and
Steve McCarthy asked us to design the expansion of their popular
retail meat shop, Prather Ranch Meat Co.
in the SF Ferry Building. Their corner, double sized, storefront space
includes an expanded meat counter, an old-fashioned hot dog cart , and a
full commercial kitchen to allow Chef Erica Holland-Toll to showcase a
menu of Prather Ranch burgers, hot dogs (the best I’ve ever tasted),
pulled pork sandwiches and meatball subs.
