Being a purveyor contestant, as opposed to a chef, is an interesting angle. How does that help you?
I have experience with different cuts and know quality protein and the process from start to finish.

Where did you get your cleaver necklace?
Spragworks in Brooklyn. I wish it was something cool that was passed down. Maybe I will pass it down.
