Studio Visit – 25 March 2024
just had a visit from butcher Chiel Neef. He came by to check what I’d done with his T-bone steak. A while ago I had asked at Sligro wholesale, a bit down the street from us, for the the Ultimate T-bone steak. I explained that it was for an art project. This made Chiel rather curious. He gave me the steak for free on the condition that he could come to see the end result. I’m glad he was very satisfied with it. All the details had the correct appearance; like the way the bone looks and the black flakiness of the dried edge. He was also glad that the meat had the correct ratio, with a relatively small tenderloin. But of course that was his own contribution, after all I had asked him for the ultimate cut!
