Come join us as Jacquelyn Ottman, a fifth generation member of New York’s “meat royalty” as she serves up a beefy history of Ottman & Company; her family’s storied meat purveying company supplied some of NYC’s top restaurants, and was considered the “Tiffany’s of the meat business.” Ottman’s also pioneered many of the packaging and prep innovations still used in our kitchens today. 

When Ms. Ottman’s family of German immigrants brought their butchering skills to New York in 1850 they helped evolve not only the historic meatpacking district (now a fashionable neighborhood) but helped start an industry critical to NYC’s economy and culinary history.
