Why can't I choose my lamb or cow while it's still alive the way I choose my lobster at Red Lobster?
Because you're gonna eat the whole lobster yourself. You'd have to get a quorum of the other customers who are going to eat it.
He's a chef. Have the guarantee that he doesn't eat all the food he chooses to cook.
Kolanaki?
The answer we know OPs question which is more general
You can if you go buy one from a farmer. In many rural places, you can then take it (or have it sent) to a butcher, and then pick up your coolers of fresh meat cuts to fill your deep freezer at home. I know people who do this, say once or twice a year. Better quality meat, often the animal had a better life on a local small farm, and per pound, far better price over the course of the year.
You absolutely can it's just logistically awkward. Just think about it, how often do you eat lobster versus how often you eat steak?
But I'm fairly sure that if you turned up at a farm you can actually do this, at least once or twice. Although long term I'm not sure it would be in the farmers interest because it's probably more hassle than it's worth.
There's also hanging time if they mean literally at the restaurant.
Farms do this all the time, but they just take an order for a whole or half a steer and deliver it to the butchers. Who picks it up depends on circumstances. I don't know if people do half on smaller live stock.
