Having made it through the prelinary rounds
Jim Sutcliffe, Manager of Meridian Meats, has beaten the finest young
butchers in the UK to be titled
BBC Young Butcher of the Year in the
latest TV talent show.
The programme was aired on BBC3 on Monday 16 November when the five
finalists were pitched against each other in a series of testing challenges. The first of these challenges was to butcher a quarter of
beef into four different traditional cuts. Jim impressed the judges in
the second section with his innovative curried goat and mango chutney
sausages.
He survived the first round of eliminations and was a cut above his
competitors in the quiz section getting only one question wrong. After
surviving another round of eliminations it was down to the final where
Jim and his competitor had to prepare a shop window.
Jim really impressed the judges
David Lishman, owner of Lishmans of Ilkley and
Justin Preston co-owner of Allens of Mayfair with his innovative flair, passion and determination.
