Butcher Shop Videos


For most of us who live in the city small butcher shops have faded into the past, and meat comes on Styrofoam trays in big supermarkets. We've lost all connection between the food and the animal that provides it.
However there is now a resurgence of butcher shops that carry local organic meat, and where the proper reverence is shown to the cuts.
In this section we will visit butchers and try to learn where the cuts come from, and how they should be handled.
