Johnny Prime is a professional carnivore. He’s created a website that’s entirely dedicated to steak, steakhouses and meats of all kinds — but mostly beef. He’s eaten at over 100 different steakhouses and reviewed steaks at hundreds of other restaurants on his blog, www.johnnyprimesteaks.com.

Aside from reviewing restaurants, he enjoys explaining the various cuts of beef and how to best enjoy them at home with recipe demos. By using the knowledge he obtained through beef advocacy training, he also writes about the history of beef, how beef is raised and gets to our plates, and the nutritional values of beef. Johnny Prime is on a quest to become New York City’s most authoritative voice on beef. With about 40 thousand followers combined on his social media accounts (@JohnnyPrimeCC), he is well on his way.

Johnny also recently began selling high end beef through his online butcher shop, www.johnnyprimemeats.com.

By day, Johnny is a lawyer of 14 years with a loving wife (a baker), and monetized hobbies like photography and novel writing... and of course anything related to food or steak. In fact he is currently trying to marry all of these passions into one endeavor: writing an edgy beef reference book that includes his own photography.
