Former Chicago Bear to Judge Best Butcher at Kildeer Whole Foods

Whole Foods Market Kildeer will hold a Best Butcher Contest and Fishmonger Face-off on Satruday, April 27, from 12-2 p.m.

The winner will be determined by an esteemed panel of judges, scheduled to attend, including mom and food blogger Courtney Glantz, professional local chef Thomas Leavitt, and former Bears Receiver Rashied Davis.

Whole Foods Market’s butchers and fishmongers are the people who care for your meat and seafood before you bring it home to your table. If you’ve ever carved a chicken or filleted a salmon, you know it takes real skill.

This Saturday, Whole Foods Market butchers and fishmongers are throwing down to determine who the Midwest region’s best is in each department. Now’s your chance to watch butchers wield cleavers and cimiters to extract beautiful cuts and see fishmongers deftly fillet and debone a whole fish. The knives and the smack talk will fly, and the winners will take home all the bragging rights, and advance to Whole Foods regional finals in downtown Chicago.
