It's fantastic, but it's hardly beef.
Kobe type beef tastes no more like prime beef than fine Fois Gras tastes like chicken livers. Completely different.

If you want to try it, I recomend the strip sirloin, and you won't need much, it is iincreadibly rich.

Kobe beef is over-rated.

Montana makes perfectly acceptable steak (emphasis on PERFECTLY), and Alberta range-fed beef is just as nice.

For a real treat, go for a New Zealand range-fed steak. Mmmm-mmm! 1-3/4" thick, nice and lean, rare. Plenty of garlic bread on the side! Mushrooms, and peppercorn sauce, just to make it interesting. A few veggies, and of course, red wine.

Kobe beef? Well, I've had it, wasn't overly impressed. Nice enough, but nothing special.

At $260.00/lb. for a grade 8 (grade 12 is the finest-shown in the picture)I think I will pass.

Mmmm...beef. My favorite is the 16 oz filet at Gene and Georgetti's.

You're from Chicago, right? They make a very tidy steak at Gene & Georgetti's. Most impressed!

Why yes I am! Side order of creamed spinach, yummy.

I have eaten at NOBU in NYC a few times. The kobe beef last I went was 8 dollars an ounce. That would make Chef Nobu's 128 a lb.

Steakhouses are nice ... but if I want a steak really done right, I grill it myself.
