| Introduction | Berlin Reed is the butcher, chef and author behind the The Ethical Butcher. His practice is driven by community engagement, personal relationships with small local farmers, a deep love of food, respect for the animals we eat and the environment on which we depend. After training as a butcher in Brooklyn, he was based in Portland, OR for 2 years. He then began a life of continuous travel, bouncing around the continent as a community chef/butcher and learning about local food scenes everywhere. He has poured his experiences as a nomadic ex-vegetarian butcher and renegade chef into a food memoir titled 'The Ethical Butcher: How Thoughtful Eating Can Change Your World', out on Soft Skull in Spring 2013. This blog is no longer active but serves as an archive of Berlin's early culinary work.
