Food's Biggest Scam: The Great Kobe Beef Lie

[BajaBob]

Tried it in Tokyo. Was some good shit.

x2... this reinforces my desire to live over there for a couple years.

Wait a minute! I saw an Iron Chef America epsiode where the key ingredient was American Kobe beef.

So there is a rancher, in America, living near a town called Kobe. Easy fix.

I'm drunk right now, what about wagyu beef? Is that bull shit?

Idk...but those things fetch stupid prices^

Wagyu is often referred to as "American Kobe". Japanese cattle (raised in America), better marbling, etc.

Wagyu is not bullshit, and no, it's not cheap. It's not completely absurd, either. You can get a 28oz Wagyu ribeye at the Ranch for $95. Sure, you can look at the price and go "holy shit", but come on now.... It's 28 fucking ounces. It's massive.

I was disappointed we had to cancel our trip to Japan last year because we were going to a really good steak house in Tokyo that had kobe steaks.
