In Episodes 40 and 41, Brandon does Hollywood!
In this two-part series, Brandon talks of his experiences competing against three other highly-skilled butchers on the History Channel's premiere episode of its new show The Butcher. Hear Brandon describe the three different rounds of the competition: 1) splitting a pig using an old-school hog splitter, quartering it, and then butchering to a list; 2) cutting steaks, and eye-balling them to weight without a scale, and 3) in the final round of the show, "Meat the Monster", butchering a mystery "beast" to maximize its retail value. Learn what it was like behind the scenes, the unexpected challenges the contestants faced, and how personal butchery preferences, philosophies, and practice (in addition to experience and skill) affected the outcome of the competition.
