Meat Cutter/Sausage Maker at Farmer George Meats

Summary

20+ years of professional culinary experience. From diners to fine dining, mobile catering for the film industry to remote catering for fishing resorts. I've always been a student of the craft and working on my methods & a nerd about the science of cooking. My greatest achievement was teaching my father to cook a proper over-easy egg.
