About Us
The Linz Difference
What started back in 1963 as a small family-owned butcher shop on the south side of Chicago has evolved into the country's premier independent meat purveyor. Chances are, some of the most well-known steakhouses in your city are using Linz Heritage Angus beef today, and now our goal is to also provide those same steaks, directly to you. Our steaks and chops have become recognized by top chefs from around the world, and we want to be known for that same quality in home kitchens everywhere.
So what makes this beef so unique? Why is it better than the rest? It's thanks to a unique combination of our own Linz Heritage Angus genetics and four generations of Linz butchering and aging expertise. When we talk about the Linz Difference, we're talking about an Angus beef program that no other purveyor can provide - a program with a true conception to plate story that utilizes the best Angus genetics in the world.
Simply put, this is our passion. We proudly remain family owned and our values of consistency, quality, and integrity show in everything we do. From our family to yours, we welcome you to the Linz Shop. We hope you find what you need to cook in your kitchen, grill out on weekends, share with friends, and know you’re enjoying the best steak the world has to offer.
Conception to Plate is what Linz Heritage Angus is all about and it's what separates your average steak from our mouth-watering Linz steaks. Conception to Plate means full control from the source, all the way to your kitchen. It's knowing where your beef comes from and the only way to produce truly consistent beef. It’s the Linz Way.
While many purveyors source their beef from any and everywhere they can, Linz Heritage Angus focuses on the quality genetics of our very own herd. Years of searching and hard work have helped us to build one of the best Angus herds in the world, resulting in consistently high performing beef - beef that is in demand by the world's top chefs.
