COVID Meat Supply Challenges & The Perfect Burger — A Butcher's Take

In May 2020, the meat supply chain was making national headlines. On this episode of Meat & Greet, Myke Stittsworth gives the straight story from inside a local butcher shop — what's really happening with distribution, what's hard to get, and why local shops like Stittsworth Meats are actually better positioned than big-box stores.

Then, because burgers are always a good idea, Myke talks about why a simple grilled burger never gets old — and how to make yours better with just a few butcher's tips.

What's Covered

  • The real impact of COVID on small-town meat distribution
  • Why local butchers kept shelves full when chains couldn't
  • The perfect burger: fat ratio, seasoning, and grill technique
  • Why simplicity wins when it comes to burgers
