One of the first things Michael Beard learned when he started his cooking career was to “use quality ingredients and let them speak for themselves.” As a chef/restaurateur, he saw firsthand the benefits of using peak season products. For his restaurant, he would go to great lengths to source superior ingredients. Michael advocates using locally-sourced items when they are of better quality. He believes the best proteins come from the Midwest. He saw the potential for supplying other restaurants with local quality meats, so he started Meat LLC, a small Midwest distributor driven by his principles. Meat LLC works directly with chefs to get them what they want rather than the cuts that happen to be available, and they provide farmers with feedback from chefs, so they can raise better animals. These practices result in quality product and great service.
