Meet The Butcher
Chris Damico was raised in the hunting heritage on the East Coast where processing their wild game was a family affair and Chris learned his way around cuts of game at an early age. When it was time to leave to join the Marines, Chris missed the cut shop as much as his father missed having him there. Trying to walk down sorted career paths in an effort to provide for his family never satisfied Chris and he knew he needed to get back to butchering.
After settling down in rural Utah, Chris set his sights on pursuing his passion. In 2018, “The Drunken Butcher” brand was born from the whiskey-influenced recommendation
of a good friend, Royce Houchen, who inspired Chris to relentlessly pursue his dreams.
In 2019, while professionally processing wild game under his “The Drunken Butcher” label, Chris began to develop spice blends and seasonings to compliment his well-established culinary skills for meals he would prepare for family and friends from the wild game he had harvested. Built from the loyalty of his wild game processing customers, with the help of social media and, Chris’ favorite method - word of mouth,
his spice and seasonings caught fire allowing him to open a commercial mixing facility and store front in 2021.
From humble two basic (but foundational) spice blends, The Drunken Butcher now offers a variety of spices and seasonings to compliment all types of dishes.
With a mission to compliment and honor your culinary art and provide
spice blends free from fillers, preservatives, artificial ingredients and, “all that other crap you cannot pronounce”, The Drunken Butcher seasonings are as free-range, organic and wild as the meat you will put it on.
