All About Me
Hello, and welcome to my website! I'm Matt. Matt the Butcher.
​
I have been a butcher since 2009, when I began an apprenticeship at the University of Arizona Meat Science and Agricultural Lab down in Tucson. I spent 40 hours per week for six months learning not only how to slaughter animals humanely, but also how to utilize the whole carcass.
​
Since then I've worked in Arizona, Wyoming, Virginia, DC, Maryland, Massachusetts, England, and Italy learning from the best chefs and butchers I could find. Butchery has become an extreme passion of mine.
​
I've enjoyed learning how to utilize the whole animal through new cutting techniques and how to cure meats.
​
I'm excited to share all of the knowledge I've gained over my career as a butcher, and also learn alongside all of you as I continue to experiment, research, and develop new ways to enjoy the world of meat.
