10,000 Birds

This theatrical personality was first introduced to a wider audience in Bill Buford’s excellent 2006 culinary memoir Heat , which depicts Cecchini as uncompromising – and perhaps a bit mad – genius of butchery, but one with the utmost reverence for his craft and the respectful use of the animals we eat. Good birding and happy drinking!
