Real Japanese A5 Wagyu Steaks in Louisiana?

Piece of Meat has had them on several occasions. They are on “summer break” right now though.

Yeah. That looks like WAY too much fat.
That thing probably shrinks by 50% or more just to cook it medium rare.

That looks like a damn lung.

There are still a lot of chefs out there that prefer prime.

B&B Butchers in Houston serves it and they call it butcher’s butter.

Never had it but it’s something like $200 for 4 ounces. They supposedly don’t give you a knife because a fork can cut it.

Well I’d think chefs prefer prime bc paying $150 for a 10oz steak means they gotta sell it for a ridiculous amount. There isn’t a market for it to keep it on regular menus

OP, Raines Farms in Rayville, LA are putting out domestic wagyu. Snake River Farms as well. Never had Japanese wagyu but SRF gold grade wagyu
NY strip is the best steak I’ve ever had. And I’m a ribeye guy

Hassel will have a distribution site in Youngsville at Raz's ...little place to get Primo Grills and other BBQ related stuff!

You're not suppose to eat 16oz of A5. You eat a 3 or 4 ounces.

I gotta say, when I think of fancy, expensive things on menus that I really don't like, Wagyu is #1 on the list.
