About

Brad Baych, creator of the Butcher Wizard YouTube channel, began his culinary journey at the age of nineteen as a saute cook at a steak restaurant in Oklahoma. Deciding to pursue his passion for food, he moved to Chicago to attend culinary school. After graduation, he worked in Dallas at a fine-dining hotel and restaurant and then eventually returned to Oklahoma. He worked as a kitchen manager and became a culinary professor, teaching essential skills such as knife techniques, butchery, soup making, and sauce making. A move to South Carolina reignited his passion for butchery as he took a job at a local butcher shop. Brad created his Butcher Wizard YouTube channel in 2022 to share his love for butchery and empower home cooks to tackle their own projects with confidence. 

Brad's goal is to share his years of experience to help guide the Home Butcher from learning how to select meat at your local store to gaining the knowledge and confidence to cut your own meat at home. He is passionate about ensuring you have the right tools for the job, which prompted him to develop the Butcher Wizard collection of knives. From there, he created the Primal Cuts Cookbook which walks you through each primal cut of beef, sharing recipes that suit each cut of meat perfectly. He is in the process of developing a line of seasonings to bring the Steakhouse experience home to you.
