The Origin
NOT A BUTCHER BY TRAINING.
THAT'S THE POINT.
Background
FROM FIELD TO LABORATORY
Dinosaur Tail was built by someone who spent years studying how things work — not recipes, not tradition, but systems. An engineering and archaeology degree (BSc Hons, United Kingdom) teaches you to look at a problem from first principles. To ask why, not just how.
That same rigour applied to meat. Every cut is a structural problem. Every ageing decision is a chemical process. Every sourcing choice is a supply chain question. The laboratory isn't a metaphor — it's a methodology.
Years working in and around NHS hospitals reinforced one thing: precision saves. Sloppy process costs. Whether it's a surgical ward or a dry-ageing chamber, the standard is the standard.
THE DISCIPLINES
Engineering
Systems thinking. Process design. Nothing left to chance.
Archaeology
Understanding provenance. Reading the past to inform the present.
NHS Precision
Clinical standards applied to every stage of the butchery process.
BSc Hons, UK
Academic rigour underpins every decision made in this laboratory.
THE STANDARD IS THE STANDARD.
No shortcuts. No compromises. The same discipline that runs a hospital ward runs this butchery.
