Brad Baych, creator of the Butcher Wizard YouTube channel, began his culinary journey at the age of nineteen as a sauté 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, then eventually returned to Oklahoma, where he married his high school sweetheart and started a family. He worked as a kitchen manager and became a culinary professor, teaching essential skills such as knife techniques, butchery, soups, and sauces. 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 to share his love for butchery and empower home cooks to tackle their own projects with confidence.
