Old timer told me to stop trimming steaks like my boss showed me

I mean I worked at this shop in Austin for 3 years where the head butcher wanted every ribeye trimmed down to almost nothing. He said customers want no fat at all. After I moved to a new place near Dallas, this 60 year old guy watched me for 5 minutes and said I was wasting good meat. He showed me how to leave a proper fat cap and the flavor difference is night and day. Has anyone else had to unlearn bad habits from a previous shop?

Three years of trimming all the fat off ribeyes? That's literally throwing away the best part of the steak.

Wait, your old boss made you trim all the fat off?

Shame, a good fat cap makes all the difference in flavor.
