Talent show for butchers
Responsible farmers across the country are raising thousands of animals every week, and by far the most common question asked by the farmers is — where are the chefs who breakdown whole animals? Protein University is providing farmers and “whole animal enthusiasts” an opportunity to network in the global food community. The mission is to create an online resource and family tree of butchering techniques from across the globe, including protein from lamb to salmon. Protein University promotes responsible farming and heritage species of livestock in an effort to keep the art of the butcher alive. www.proteinuniversity.com
ProteinU is creating a global resource online of butchering techniques while educating people on heritage species and exposing them to a network of responsible farms. Starting off this effort, “The Who’s Your Butcher Contest” gives the up-and-coming chefs and butchers a venue to network, connect and learn from one another.
It’s easy for contestants to enter, go to www.proteinuniversity.com, fill out the submission form and upload a short video clip of your butcher technique. All videos will be broadcasted on ProteinU’s YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/user/proteinuniversity and on August 10th, the ProteinU Advisory Board will announce the top 20. The vote then goes to the national audience where the public will determine the final winner. Deadline for video submissions is August 9th, 2010.
The winner will receive an all-expense paid, 4-day trip to an "all-star” butcher retreat at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC in mid-August. Additionally, the winner will join us at Primal this September in the Bay Area www.artofthebutcher.com, as well as receive online exposure to millions of viewers and over $2,500 in prizes.
