> 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.
Ouch! That's a fair snootful. Instead, come to New Zealand, try our steak (the lamb is even nicer) and enjoy our hospitality. We keep the good stuff for domestic consumption and export the rest.
Guarantee you'll enjoy it.

Steakhouses are nice ... but if I want a steak really done right, I grill it myself.
From the prices they're quoting for this beef, the only way I could afford to eat one, is at home.
To: 1rudeboy
That's a real drag. My grandmother used to meet her dad there for lunch. My first date with my wife was there (second date was a Cubs game).

Bacon and Hap and I had some for New Year's Eve a few years back - we ordered it from some online steak provider - and I'm here to tell you, there is NOTHING that measures up to it. It is hands-down THE best beef I've ever eaten.

I have had Kobe steaks twice in my life. Once as a 10 year old on a trip around the world with my grandparents in Kobe Japan, and once in Naha, which is the capitol of the island of Okinawa in 1967 prior to going incountry to Viet Nam.
It is an experience you should not miss if you have the opportunity (the steaks, not viet nam).

At a butcher near me I pay 18.99 lb for filet mignon when I am having a small dinner party for 4 people. The steaks are awesome. Best I have found. Usually I order from Omaha Steaks and they have never disappointed me either.

There's two different types of Kobe beef? I think we need to get some of each and find out which is superior!

Hope you get some rain soon.
To: Slicksadick
The leaner the cut in Kobe grading, the more inferior the meat. Go figure.

The Aussies make a good steak, too. Very nice indeed, all respect to our Australian cousins in that department!
En-route to Australia, have a stopover in New Zealand. 'Tis a long flight from the US, after all. Refresh yourself, enjoy our hospitality and then Go for Gold on the other side of the Tasman.
I recommend specifically 3 days and nites at Rotorua, stay at the Polynesian Spa and take in the thermal hot pools. Nothing better! Then one nite in Auckland, dine at Black Angus steak house (Albert Street) for the finest steak money can buy. You'll be all ready for Australia after that.

For a real treat, go for a New Zealand range-fed steak. Sounds great...

Hmmm ... that's a good bit more reasonable. The 'New York Strips" in the upper right look really good.
