Lou Ferrusi from the Fortino’s supermarket at Stoney Creek has won the championship to be declared Ontario’s Finest Butcher.
The annual competition is run by Meat & Poultry association.
Dylan Miedema from Townsends Butchers and Sully Hakimi from Halenda’s Meat were the runner-ups.
Meat & Poultry said Lou Ferrusi’s seasoned and skillful butchery skills, creative storytelling and excellence in presentation and time management that set him apart.
The products - boneless chuck roll, a whole chicken, and boneless pork loin - for the finals were donated by Abate Packers, Ontario Beef, and Domingos with pantry items supplied by Malabar Ingredients.
