Bio
I've been working with meat since I was fourteen. I started in my godfather's meat market for 24 cents an hour, stuffing sausage. Since then, I've done just about everything... running meat specialty departments, learning how to prepare and present meat, developing sausage recipes, and becoming a master butcher.
In LA, I sued to do all the meat props for CBS Studios, displays for national TV commercials. My customers included Billy Crystal, Raymond Burr, Glenn Ford. They wanted quality.
People buy meat with their eyes, but they need to be more cautious. Where did that meat come from? You think it's healthy because the label says "natural", but fact is that the government has lowered standards on product terminologies so that corporate America can cash in. I always know where my meat comes from - who raised it, where that animal lived and how it was treated. I can always taste the difference.
You have to believe in your product and never settle for second-best. I have customers who follow me from store to store, because they trust me.
I love what I do, and I love teaching others about good meat.
