Get your protein fix at The Mad Butcher
Character Barry Smith – aka The Mad Butcher – is passionate about the quality of his meat and seafood and the knowledge of all his market stall staff.
The Mad Butcher is predominantly a wholesaler to restaurants, but selects particular cuts and lines to sell to market dwellers, dealing only with quality meat and seafood. From Black Angus beef, sausages, rissoles, porterhouse steaks, Tasmanian salmon, chicken, bacon, eye fillets, lamb loins and butterflied lamb, The Mad Butcher’s produce is all free range and grass fed with a number of organic lines. Sourced from around the country, Barry’s produce is the best he can find. His prized product, developed in The Mad Butcher factory, is nitrate-free bacon that is chemical and sugar-free, naturally cured and then smoked in natural wood chips.
Having worked as a butcher since he was 15 years old (he is now 60 years old), Barry has extensive experience and only has butchers from his factory work on the market stall so that they can share their extensive knowledge about the produce and best advise on how it should be stored and prepared.
You can check out The Mad Butcher’s produce at The College Markets in Capalaba, Eat Bake Grow at Mount Cotton, Boundary Street Markets, Brisbane Marketplace at Rocklea and the Cleveland Markets.
