In a new profile of locally renowned butcher and aspiring meat entrepreneur Oscar Yedra, SF Weekly’s Lauren Smiley ends up penning a piece profiling the current trendiness of the butchery arts in general. At 45, Yedra, a Mexican national and a former head meat-cutter for Niman Ranch, isn’t the face of the young and hip Butcher’s Guild clique or a coverboy for Meatpaper, but he’s a butcher that pretty much every other butcher and meat purveyor in the Bay Area seems to respect and admire. But did you even know there were butcher groupies? Yup. They have those now.
