Mon, 22 Feb 2021 - 36 - Opening Day w/ Stefano Diaz Owner Of Meat Wagon
No Ounce Wasted We catch up with Stefano Diaz after the opening of his new brick and mortar. My name is Stefano Diaz. I am the owner and head butcher of The Meat Wagon. When I first started out, The Meat Wagon was primarily a mobile butchery and custom cutting service, traveling to local farmers markets in the Hudson Valley with fresh and frozen cuts of beef, pork, lamb and chicken, and coordinating whole beef shares for families and friends. In 2021, we are thrilled to open the doors of our first brick and mortar location in the Midtown neighborhood of Kingston. In 2011 I graduated culinary school from Le Cordon Bleu and moved down south to cook at the renowned Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina. My passion for food fueled my curiosity and interest in butchery, what I later realized was the perfect cross-section of farming, cooking, food systems, and community. Upon returning to New York, I continued my education and professional enrichment with a three month intensive, nose-to-tail Butchery Apprenticeship at the headquarters of Fleishers Craft Butchery in Brooklyn. After my successful completion of the program, I worked as the head butcher at Fleishers’ original location in Uptown Kingston for 3 years, where I formed a sincere and deep love for the community we served. In 2017 I met the fine folks at Marbled Meat shop in Cold Spring, where I was the manager and head butcher up until now. I'm so excited to welcome you into my shop and introduce you to my team! https://www.themeatwagonmobilebutchery.com/ ~ More About No Ounce Wasted ~ Profit margin perils, mental health crises, employee challenges.

Mon, 08 Feb 2021 - 35 - Connecting Consumers To The Land and Sea ~ Jessica Rohr
No Ounce Wasted Forage Hawai'i was started by a group of friends with one goal: to make a hunter/gatherer diet more available to our island community. We had been blessed with opportunities to hunt, dive, farm, and forage for many of our meals and we wanted to share our bounty. Starting with a food truck and a couple farmer's markets, we were able to showcase our fresh local troll-caught fish and Maui's delicious wild venison, along with produce from local farms. With clean, healthy, local meats gaining popularity, Forage has transitioned to distribution of raw meats and day-boat fish in order to make local protein more available. As our efforts continue we strive to bring more sustainable food to the market and educate consumers on the many benefits of eating local. ~ More About No Ounce Wasted ~ Profit margin perils, mental health crises, employee challenges.

Mon, 21 Dec 2020 - 31 - Eagle Yu – Aged Butchery
No Ounce Wasted Catering and cutting during the pandemic Eagle is the head butcher and proprietor of Aged Butchery Yu began his career not in food, but in computers. He was born in Taiwan and moved with his family to Saudi Arabia and Illinois before settling in Northern California when Yu was in the fourth grade. He studied computer science and engineering in San Diego and then spent 15 years working as a DVD author. just as DVDs had usurped VHS — the format began shifting to Blu-ray and streaming services. This gave Yu the opportunity to think about his career and, ultimately, decide he wanted to try something entirely new. He had developed an interest in culinary arts simply by being a patron of restaurants Yu's interest in specific breeds encouraged him to find specialty butcher shops that sold these particular cuts, which led him to discover an apprenticeship program offered by Fleishers, a sustainable butchery based in New York. In 2013, Yu and his bulldog, Bootie, drove across the country to upstate New York, where he enrolled in a four-month apprenticeship at Fleishers When his apprenticeship ended, Fleishers hired Yu to work at their shop in Kingston, NY. After several months in Kingston, Yu and Bootie drove back across the country again. This time, Yu's goal was to launch his own butchery that could service his friends, family and community. Yu was ready to begin butchering on his own, which he first attempted at a carniceria in Downey owned by a friend who had also completed the same apprenticeship. Yu decided to call his company Aged Butchery, because everything is technically aged. He would first sell his cuts at the West Hollywood Farmers Market and later the larger Hollywood Farmers Market. He found that his customers appreciated his style, as it not only minimizes waste, but appeals to a wide variety of global cuisines. Yu has, for the time being, stopped selling at farmers markets. He ran into a technicality with the USDA where he was not allowed to use his friend’s carniceria — which, as a retail space, is exempt from USDA inspection, and still use his own company name. He is now on the precipice of securing his own space, which will function as a butcher shop and kitchen. Here, he can make his own deli meats, bacons, stocks, and other products. Once that's in place, Yu will resume providing the same transparency and integrity his customers have always enjoyed, all sourced from local farmers with whom Yu has developed a relationship. You can follow Yu's progress via his website or Facebook page. http://www.agedbutchery.com/ ~ More About No Ounce Wasted ~ Profit margin perils, mental health crises, employee challenges.

While at Ralston, Phil attended Connecticut College where he majored in anthropology, with a minor in botany. In college he completed a summer long internship with the livestock department at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture. Phil returned to Stone Barns as an employee in 2016 and managed the waste-fed pig program, pastured egg layers, turkeys and ducks, while overseeing their state-inspected processing facility for poultry and red meat butchery.

Phil currently manages the organically certified poultry slaughterhouse at Carversville Farm Foundation, and helps direct infrastructure projects and day-to-day tasks around the farm. In the future, Phil looks forward to working more on the social aspects of food justice at CFF through the enrichment of communities they work with in center city Philadelphia. https://www.carversvillefarm.org/. ~ More About No Ounce Wasted ~ Profit margin perils, mental health crises, employee challenges.

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 - 19 - Culls Gold: Jill Marshall Gould Of Butter Meat Co.
No Ounce Wasted Butter Meat Co. has a new taken on environmentally-improved meat: use dairy cows. Not a new idea to many in the meat industry, dairy culls often end up in industrial grind. Jill Marshall Gould has brought a modern sensibility to her program- keeping the culls local, the quality high and using butchery and marketing to give the cuts value. Bryan talks with Jill about her innovation, using online sales during a pandemic and other meaty topics. Jill Marshall Gould, after marrying Steve Gould, a third generation dairy farmer at Har-Go Farms in Pavilion, saw a way to utilize something the region has in abundance: culled dairy cows. Instead of sending these cows to auction, Marshall Gould has started processing them and dry aging the steaks, selling them alongside burgers and dog bones at pop-ups under her Butter Meat Co. label. While still a small operation, she hopes to ultimately have the capacity to expand beyond her own farm’s cows and open a retail space nearby. (From Letchworth Gateway Villagers Initiative). Jill brings her experience of working on her family's farm and working with Walmart's supply chain to rethink local food. https://buttermeatco.com/ info@buttermeatco.com ~ More About No Ounce Wasted ~ Profit margin perils, mental health crises, employee challenges.

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 - 17 - Chris O’Blenness: Buffalo Meat Co’s New Owner
No Ounce Wasted Chris O'Blenness is a Wyoming native son, recently returned form New York. When he was back east, he got a Stone Barn education, running their livestock program. He is a chef and a rancher and he is bringing those passions together with the newly acquired Buffalo Meat Co., which sells buffalo and elk meat. Hear about Chris's exciting plans for the 70 year old business and the turns that brought him back home (home on the range). Jackson Hole Buffalo Meat Co. has a new owner. Chris O’Blenness, who was born and raised in Hog Island, bought the business from Dan Marino a few weeks ago. O’Blenness most recently ran the livestock program for Stone Barns in New York. Some may know this valley native as one of the owners of the old Southside Pizza, a farm to table pizza restaurant he started after working for Cosmic Apple Gardens. After shutting the restaurant’s doors, O’Blenness wanted a fresh start and moved to New York to attend culinary school in 2010. Someone at school told him he should lookup Dan Barber, Blue Hill and Stone Barns. “I knew immediately that is what I wanted to do,” O’Blenness said. Since there were no positions open at the farm, he volunteered every chance he could, making the trek to Westchester and learning how to raise livestock. He even slept in a sleeping bag in the farm’s pig huts so he was there first thing in the morning for work. That dedication paid off, and O’Blenness was finally offered a part time job. By the time he left New York in August, he was running the livestock department for Stone Barns. (He wasn’t a total newcomer to livestock. O’Blenness grew up around cows, and one of his earliest memories was getting baby chicks from the feed store with his grandfather.) At some point, though, he realized that he couldn’t stay in that position forever, so he began looking for opportunities back in Jackson. A friend told him about Buffalo Meat Co., and after months of back and forth the sale went through a few weeks ago. info@jhbuffalomeat.com https://jhbuffalomeat.com/ ~ More About No Ounce Wasted ~ Profit margin perils, mental health crises, employee challenges.

Mon, 03 Aug 2020 - 16 - Judy Ni: Baology, New Models And Covid Reality
No Ounce Wasted Host Bryan Mayer talks to Judy Ni about her steadfast commitment to sourcing, breaking down stereotypes about what quality means and using in-house butchery as part of their process. They will explore some exciting ideas about co-op models and what restaurants can do in the post-pandemic reality we are living in. From Judy: Growing up, I was immersed in the traditions of my parents' heritage, learning at the side of my parents, grandmothers, and aunts about Taiwanese culinary classics and customs. While attending school in NYC, I came upon the exploding food scene and found myself dreaming of a future in the culinary world. Fast forward a few years, I took the leap and met my husband Andy. Despite our different backgrounds, we found a shared passion in food and were fortunate to join two great culinary teams - Andy at Chef Daniel Boulud's Dinex Group (www.danielboulud.com) and me at Blue Hill at Stone Barns (www.bluehillfarm.com). The time at Blue Hill helped me make the connection between the culinary world, agriculture, and sustainability. It also made me realize that ongoing and lasting change could only occur if the market economics lined up. With that came the idea of a "fast food" restaurant concept with a menu made from responsibly sourced ingredients designed for guests seeking a healthy, reliable source of nourishment to meet the needs of their busy, active lives. Through this business we could provide a reliable stream of revenues whose proceeds could be then be passed on to farmers, fisherman, and purveyors who invest in the same ethos to produce a sustainable ecosystem. Taiwan and its fresh "fast food" culture focused on great sourcing, high-quality ingredients, and deep culinary traditions were a natural fit for this concept. We looked at a few different cities and finally settled on Philadelphia to work with my former CDC from Blue Hill at the acclaimed Farm and Fisherman BYOB where we had the great opportunity to work together again. It was after our time here, that we decided that Philadelphia would be where we would open our dream. https://www.baology.com/ hello@baology.com ~ More About No Ounce Wasted ~ Profit margin perils, mental health crises, employee challenges.

No Ounce Wasted Radio Show Butcher's Guild co-founder Marissa La Brecque turns the spotlight on host Bryan Mayer and introduces listeners to the man behind the mic. A longtime advocate of responsible sourcing and whole carcass utilization, Bryan is well-known in meat as a connector- of people, ideas and solutions. Bryan Mayer - With well over a decade of butchery and teaching experience, Bryan has been at the forefront of the craft butcher movement in the US. Receiving training from master butchers, raising livestock, working on kills floors, behind butcher counters, and on kitchen prep lines, he has been able to gain an insight into the industry unavailable to most. He co-developed Fleisher's renowned butchery training program, training a new generation of butchers and chefs focusing on sourcing, humane slaughter, and whole carcass utilization. Bryan co-founded Philadelphia's first butcher shop, restaurant, and education space, dedicated to supporting local agriculture and fostering a connection between rural and urban communities. He has been featured in and written for Food & Wine, Bon Appetit, Saveur, Esquire, Men's Health, appeared on Tasting Table, Eater, Jezebel, and wrote the "Ask Your Butcher" column for Food Republic. He lectures and conducts workshops with the James Beard Foundation, Stone Barns Center for Agriculture, Glynwood, The American Lamb Board, and the Culinary Institute of America, in addition to working with farmers, slaughterhouses, and processors, throughout the US. He regularly holds workshops and events throughout the US and was an Instructor at Ian Knauer's Farm Cooking School in Titusville, NJ and the Brooklyn Kitchen in Brooklyn, NY.

Mon, 18 May 2020 - 6 - Educating Chefs in the Carcass Arts – Sarah Wong, founder of Seattle Culinary Acedemy
No Ounce Wasted Radio Show Sarah Wong worked in restaurants for 16 years before moving to educating chefs and students. She has trained with the world-famous Chapolards, been part of the craft butchery movement at every turn, and taught at colleges and currently a high school (most culinary education barely approaches a carcass, but Sarah takes meat out of the box for students). She is passionate, kind and "a genius", according to host Bryan, who does not say this lightly. Sarah Wong - After spending 16 years in the food industry, Seattle Meat Collective co-founder and former owner and former Seattle Culinary Academy instructor Sarah Wong couldn’t ignore a strange truth when it came to meat: It almost always came out of a box, pre-cut. Very rarely did she see the whole animal that it came from. Five years ago, wanting to change the way she approached meat education, she took matters into her own hands and went to France to study with Kate Hill and the Chapolards, followed by more whole-animal butchers from around the world. “When you see the whole process from start to finish, you have a lot more respect for whatever that ingredient is—whether it’s a goat or a head of lettuce,” she says. These days, Sarah stays busy as a culinary teacher at Westview Highschool in Beaverton, Oregon. We are so lucky to have Sarah teaching butchery, cookery, and charcuterie for the PMC, where she wows students with her deft hand at butchery and her knowledge on the history of the subject. She’s equally wowed by her students. “It’s fun to watch them go from tentatively holding the knife to cutting up the animal,” she says. “By the end of the class, they’re exhausted, but they’re so jazzed. I love that." chefsarah13@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/sarah.wong.1884 ~ More About No Ounce Wasted ~ Profit margin perils, mental health crises, employee challenges.

Mon, 13 Apr 2020 - 1 - Coping (and Thriving) in the Pandemic ~ Guest JFox of Hudson & Charles Grass-Fed Butcher
No Ounce Wasted Radio Show Coping (and thriving) in the pandemic. Host Bryan Mayer and butcher/ owner J. Fox of Hudson & Charles in Manhattan talk about making it through this crisis personally and professionally. Fox's shop is open and pivoting to keep the doors open. Hear about what is working for them and how you can bring that to your business. From Grub Street: "Hudson & Charles is even more boutique than, say, Murray’s Cheese or Despaña Fine Foods: The shop is teeny-tiny, and each item that takes up precious space is there for a reason — because it’s the best. To start, the meat: It’s all locally sourced, pasture-raised, and grass-fed, and you can purchase custom cuts of beef, pork, lamb, goat, and chicken. Too hungry to wait? Too lazy to cook? There are also made-to-order sandwiches, like “The Balboa,” a panini with smoked ham, bacon remoulade, raw baby Swiss cheese, and pickles.
