About Carnivore Crush

For me, food offers great comfort and joy. It brings people together. It offers an opportunity to share and express one’s self with others through one of the most universal channels we all understand – a good meal.

 

I started dry-aging sections of beef in 2018 because I couldn’t find properly dry-aged steaks that were prepared in small batches with the amount of care and attention to the flavour profile that I wanted.

​

It was this gap in the marketplace that led to the birth of Carnivore Crush.

​

Carnivore Crush aims to dry-age a selection of ribeye, porterhouse and other cuts to reach the perfect balance of flavour and texture. One of my favourite aspects of aging is that no two sections of beef are the same. You always get a slightly different taste and consistency from each herd and breed.

​

My mission with Carnivore Crush is simple: to provide Toronto families with the highest quality of Ontario and Alberta beef.

 

I wanted to make sure that it was locally-sourced in order to support the Canadian economy. I wanted to be able to drive out to the farms myself and meet the men and women and their families who are expertly raising Canadian Beef.

 

I have since built relationships and friendships with these people, and they are always more than willing to share their knowledge and skills that make their meat healthier, tastier and safer than store-bought meat.

 

Creating these new and lasting relationships with local farms gives me a great deal of pride knowing that I am contributing to my local community. All of our partners are featured on our website for you to review and even contact personally, if you are so inclined.

 

Ultimately, as meat-eaters, it’s important to know what you are buying and consuming. Knowing for certain that the animals are respected, treated humanely, and raised in a loving environment is something that we all must ensure when purchasing our food.

 

We urge you to contact us should you have any questions or comments.

From our table to yours, we hope that you find our product selection to be quality that you can always count on.

 

Sincerely,
 

Louis Ioannou
