Gwen Butcher Shop & Restaurant: Wagyu Tomahawk in LA

A visit to a city’s top steakhouse isn’t complete without trying their tomahawk—the ultimate test of skill. And if there’s a Wagyu tomahawk on the menu? That’s an instant yes. In Los Angeles, our choice was Gwen. Founded by celebrity chef Curtis Stone and his brother Luke, Gwen is unique: part butcher shop (bright, pristine, showcasing premium cuts) 🧾, part moody, fire-lit restaurant where conversations blend with the crackle of the grill 🔥. This "see what you eat" confidence had our expectations soaring. When we scanned the menu and found no tomahawk listed, we felt a flicker of disappointment—until our server revealed an off-menu special: a Blackmore Wagyu tomahawk that day. We couldn’t miss this gift of fate. Wagyu tomahawk is always a favorite (though The Grill once let us down 😒). But this one? Exceptional. Gwen’s grilling mastery shone through: a perfect crust from the Maillard reaction, sealed with smoky char locking in all the juices. Inside, the rich fat melted into pure beefiness, tender yet firm. Each bite was a harmony of char and decadence. The highest praise for a steak needs no essay. It was simply… delicious. 😌👌 Gwen 📍6600 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 #Los Angeles #LAFood #MichelinDining #Steakhouse #WagyuTomahawk #GwenLA
