I find this very hard to believe. Wagyu, sure. Kobe wasn't available in the US until March of last year. Even then, it's hard to get, and you won't get it at that price no matter who you are. Beyond that, I don't believe ANY steakhouse in TX has the clout to get in ahead of the NY and LA eateries that are sucking up all that is available.
Fun fact - Only 3900 cows/year meet Kobe standards. Only 10% of that is exported.
Well I would like to think my sisters Fiance is not a liar. Call Nick and Sams Steakhouse and find out for yourself what they have. I was told only 3 Restaurants in Texas get a cut of the Kobe. I can only go off of what I was told. Either way they were the best steaks I have ever had the pleasure of devouring.
As of December 15, 2013 Wynn became to first US end-user certified by the Kobe Beef Council as an authorized restaurant partner (a program that also includes Nobu in Hong Kong and the Sands resort in Singapore)
I know next time I'm in vegas I will be checking out the Wynn to see if they have any of the real stuff available.
It’s been almost two years since I wrote “Food’s Biggest Scam: The Great Kobe Beef Lie,” here at Forbes.com. That story became one of the most read food stories of the year, with well over a million views. But the playing field has changed significantly, so I am revisiting the topic with the new truth about the world’s most famous and coveted beef.
Until you have REAL Wagyu you can not judge anything. Not to brag ( But I am gonna fuckin brag ) My sisters fiance is an executive chef for Nick and Sams....He has brought me a few choice cuts of Kobe and Ome....45-65 dollars and ounce. He cooked 700 dollars of meat one day on my 200 dollar grill! Best steak I have ever had and nothing compares.

Not sure. I haven't paid for one in years. We usually split one with the neighbor, I supply the bovine and he pays the processing.
There is still a place in Trenton (Used to be JACKS), or I use the place over in Muenster (Fischers)
Here's Fischers pricing: http://fischersmeatmarket.com/meatprocessing.html

What's processing run these days for a run of typical cuts?

UH, no. and $1500 is a great deal. Check the auction prices. They're running over 2 a lb for the good stuff. I will probably haul these guys late next week to Gainesville. I need some cash for a project I want to finish. Just thought I'd offer some of the ballers here some decent bovine
That's what I figured, but wanted to make sure. Sent you a pm earlier as well.
