North Park's Black-owned chef-driven butcher counter operating since 2020, The Wise Ox Butcher & Deli runs from 2855 El Cajon Blvd under the Trust Restaurant Group umbrella. Shoppers building charcuterie spreads pair cuts from The Wise Ox with selections at Venissimo Cheese - North Park, combining pasture-raised meats with artisan cheeses for event-ready boards. Every protein in the case — premium beef, heritage pork, and free-range chicken — is hormone-free and sourced through the same supply chain that provisions the group's full-service restaurants. The deli counter extends into wine and pantry goods, while neighboring Bottlecraft North Park supplies craft-beer pairings for the dry-rubbed meats and house-cured charcuterie. The counter's highest-value service is whole-cut custom butchery, where the team breaks down full primals into client-specified portions using the same technique standards applied across Trust Restaurant Group's kitchen operations.
