Butcher and Head Chef

The Great East Butcher Company would not be the same without Talisha. This rock star single mother of four boys makes the best burgers and sandwiches Tiffany has ever had. She kills it on her sausages, prepared sides, and knowledge of how this company is run. She has been essential in teaching the new ownership what has worked and not worked in the past five years working at this shop. She has an incredible memory on everything from laws of the food industry to how to refill the price gun. How she does it all, we don't know, we just know we are lucky to have her on our team.
