The Butcher

Throughout history, the skilled craft of the butcher has been essential to human survival. In early civilisations when foodborne diseases were claiming lives, it was the butcher with their precise tools and keen skills who warded off death. This vital craftsman became a fixture in every town across America. Today, there are thousands of people who continue this noble tradition but only a select few can be considered a 'Master Butcher'. Now, for the first time, comes an extreme, high-stakes competition, presented by Colby Donaldson, where best-in-class butchers battle in a showdown designed to put their knowledge, strategy and technique to the ultimate test. With their sharp knives and even sharper skills, these butchers carve their way through painstaking challenges, using their expert talent to adapt to historical twists, and revealing the fascinating secrets of the butcher’s world.
