Oyster Bay residents may have noticed that the space next to L’Etoile, once used as its storage space, as well as a Max & Mina's pop-up last summer, has sprung back to life. The restaurant’s executive chef saw an opportunity for the space that the Milanas — the family behind L’Etoile and Stellina restaurants — couldn’t refuse: The Bay Butcher, a new meat shop, debuted late last month. "We know how much the sourcing of meat really matters," Guilia Milana, one of L’Etoile’s owners, explained. Meat being one of the biggest costs in any kitchen, the family started looking at whether they could bring their butchering in-house. Currently, The Bay Butcher is sourcing meat for two of their restaurants, L’Etoile in Oyster Bay and Casa Stellina in Farmingdale, as well as the general public. More at the link in bio.
