More About 4505:
4505 Meats was founded by chef Ryan Farr in January 2009. It all began in Farr’s SF apartment with one product, the lighter-than-air Original Style Chicharrones, or “crispity clouds of porkaliciousness.” The launch of the 4505 Chicharron was then followed by the 4505 Bacon-Studded Hot Dog, and a full line of house made sausages. The business has only grown from there. 4505 has operated stands at Farmers’ Markets all over San Francisco. From 2012- 2015 we ran a full-service whole animal butcher shop in the Mission District, where we sold responsibly and sustainably raised meat sourced from farms in Northern California. We launched our restaurant in 2014, 4505 Burgers & BBQ, which serves burgers, 4505 Meats-style barbecue and more. We are committed to bringing customers quality & delicious products at their Farmers Market stand, Restaurant, and specialty stores & bars nationwide.
