A great steak starts with a good meat grade and the perfect cut. This is why a meat cutter has an essential important role in the ‘steak’ market. One has to be skilled and precise in the way he hand-cuts the meat to ensure the best quality and flavor.
Take it from 37-year-old Joel Herher, a local meat-cutting champion at Texas Roadhouse who recently represented the country at the first Regional Meat Cutter Challenge in Taipei, Taiwan. He is a ‘roadie’ (a meat cutter in Texas Roadhouse parlance), is well-trained in terms of precision and is detail-oriented working in a meat room at a chilly temperature.
