Why a butcher stays essential in the age of AI
- Every carcass is different, and boning it well is in the wrist and the eye, not in a program.
- A customer asks what to cook for six tonight, and the answer comes with a cut, a tip and a bit of banter.
- Hygiene and the cold chain are checked by someone who smells, touches and dates every piece.
