Heringers Meats

Heringers Meats is constantly buzzing with activity and customers. It’s hard to say which has more personality – the staff at Heringers or their cute little shop. In the heart of Steveston, this deli is lively, fun and fast-paced. When you walk into Heringers you’ll often catch Chad, his wife Karen or one of their great staff kibitzing with clients – many of whom they know by name and by their food preferences.

This village institution has even attracted the attention of Hollywood. In the early 90s, a Hollywood scout approached Heringers about renting out the shop for the day. The Los Angeles film crew wanted to shoot a scene for the movie The Man Upstairs, starring the late, great Hollywood star Katherine Hepburn and actor Ryan O’Neal. After filming, the catering chefs cooked the actors New York steaks — Ms Hepburn preferred hers blue rare.
