About the Butcher

TC learned the craft from his father, carrying forward a family tradition of discipline, respect, and excellence. Today, he stands as one of the few remaining expert butchers with deep knowledge of whole‑animal breakdown, yield management, and the fine details that separate a cut of meat from a true piece of craftsmanship.
