Live Butchers — Live!

Interesting topic, however a little bias. There are some "old school" Butchers still in San Diego; Including myself. Recently arrived from Australia, where Butchers; even at Supermarkets are Qualified Trades persons. Before entering the USA I did a little research into employment opportunities for myself, finding that you call Butchers "meatcutters" which although I can understand; to a point ( hand a person a knife and call them a Butcher). I find this classification of meatcutter demeaning to my qualifications. Personally, I started out with a career path in Hospitality - Butchery. 2 Years of college based education and 4 years on the job (and still learning 20 years later) I am a "Butcher" learning all facets of the industry from slaughter to plate - and yes i can prepare a crown roast! My skills and abilities you'll find at Henry's Markets at Clairemont.
