Coulotte steaks There's nothing quite like a good porterhouse or filet mignon, right? Not exactly. There are beloved premium cuts like the sirloin, filet mignon, or t-bone.

"Every part of the cow has value and needs to be sold--not just the ribeyes and tenderloins." -- Craft Beef: A Revolution of Small...

Wagyumafia's chateaubriand A5 Kobe Beef Wagyu Katsu Sando I just got back from a trip to Japan where I met with some of the best beef producers in three regions I heard about on my last visit. We love Japanese Wagyu and we know you do too, which is why I was excited to meet award-winning producers from regions that are well-known in Japan but haven't yet been made available to people in the USA.

By Going to Japan, We're Helping American Wagyu Producers
June 18th, 2018 by Joe Heitzeberg • Read 7,609 times • 2 min read
I'm currently in Japan to meet with a select group of small producers in three regions of Japan, all with unique beef varieties that we hope to bring to America for the first time. Though there are many varieties of beef in Japan, each unique in their history and flavor (including the Olive Wagyu from Kagawa Prefecture that we brought to consumers in the USA for the first time earlier this year), they are all related as kuroge washu. Kuroge...

Later I encountered buffet tables of pale pink salmon, steamed to...
