The Butcher's Guild

My new friends Marissa Guggina and Tia Harrison, founders of The Butcher's Guild.

The Butcher’s Guild is a loosely organized national fraternity of butchers who are committed to breaking down whole animals — not prepackaged parts — and adhering to a particular moral code.  I am becoming a member of this organization.

Only in California would I find myself in a room full of women chefs discussing challenges of sourcing quality meat products consistently.
