You look good in the cooler, Hope all is going well, I just returned from medditerrean crusies. I went to Venice and Bari Italy, Bari was really good, nice clean and met a butcher who does horses. Chef Nograd always said that horse meat was the best, very strong meat.
Chef Marks course is towards the chefs side of meatcutting. Presently meatcutting is more than just slaughtering. Cutting meat for retail and cutting meat for foodservice are very different. In the words of our mentor, Chef Nograd
"retail is selling meat by the pound and restaurant cutting is by the piece"
anyone can work in a slaughter house, cut room but it takes alot of talent to work in the retail cases of high end properties like Dean and Deluca or Usingers in wisconsin. I have worked so manhy places from wholesale to retail and now teaching meatcutting.
