Today I got the kind of phone call any carnivore loves to receive. It came from someone who didn’t buy their beef from us but had read a post we wrote months ago about grilling Wagyu. He wanted to know how to cook the steak he bought. His wife prefers well-done steaks and he likes […]
How do you wrap up a Wagyu tomahawk and put it under the tree? When it comes to gifting Wagyu the struggle is very, very real. The holidays are a time when a lot of Wagyu is purchased. It is, in fact, our busiest time of the year. Wagyu is a special event food and […]
The picture associated with this post is of a common brisket we had for dinner the other night. What is uncommon about it is the marbling you see in the picture. You simply cannot find that kind of marbling in a supermarket, a local butcher or from 90% of the websites online selling beef. I […]
