Peer Respect

Posted on October 23, 2009 by | Leave a comment

So today i was working up at Avedanos. I came out of the walk in and noticed 2 customers pointing at and talking about my chain belt that holds my knife scabbord around my waist. I wasn’t in the mood for the usual ” Wow that is a crazy belt” spiel i get all the time. I was busy and in my own world. So with a bit ( haha) of attitude i walk up and ask what i can do for them. Come to find out this was Dario Cecchini. The world renowned Italian butcher. I took a step back and offered them a little tour of Avedanos. Was so nice to meet a peer who understands and lives  the art of butchering. It is in the blood. I cannot express what a pleasure and honor it was to meet Dario and Kim. What wonderful real people they are.  This was a breathe of fresh Tuscan air. Dario is doing an event at Nopa tomorrow. If you haven’t got tix then get them now as he is a wonderful spirit . I can also tell you that he is a true life butcher/Artist. I hope our paths cross again in this short life.
Cheers Dario and thanks for the visit.

Ok so it has been a fast month since my last post. I am here and will be getting some fotos up soon.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Cochon555 event at the Fairmont on sun the 14th. That was really fun. If any of you took fotos and fell like sharing please send them to dave@davethebutcher.com.

I saw the new film “Food inc.” today. Great film. Go see it if you can. We all need to get together to wrestle our food out of the hands of the big corporations. Please supprt local farmers and butchers as well as local small business.

Keep checking back here. I will announce new posts on my twitter feed. Lots of new and exciting stuff coming up.
Stay tuned.
Cheers, Dave.
