So...full...

Of Kobe beef that is!

It's really just silly how much Kobe I ate...

Don't know what Kobe is?

Imported Japanese beef. Supposedly said cows are fed a special diet, grazed in special pastures, and perhaps even massaged to music. All of this special treatment creates a meat product so perfectly marbled...well, to quote a colleague. "It's like foie gras...with texture"...

If you want to buy Kobe beef wholesale, well partner, it'll set you back about $90 a pound. And good luck trying to find any restaurant that'll serve any more than a tiny portion to you for less that $150...

And this is not the cheapie American substitute of Wagyu. Chances are you see any Kobe beef "hot dogs" or "hamburgers" on a restaurant menu that's what you're getting. Not to say that Wagyu isn't good, it's just no substitute for the real thing, baby.

Stay tuned for pictures and more...once I recover from my beef fat induced coma.

Good night!
