The Wagyu and Kobe Scam

Check out this informative expose on the US beef and restaurant industry's misuse of the terms Kobe and Wagyu. It is a 4 part series that dives deep, and dovetails with some similar frustrations I expressed after dining at Sparks. Bottom line: if you see Kobe or Wagyu on a menu in the USA, know that it is meaningless and likely an imitation (though still quite possibly a delicious piece of meat), because the US does not import beef from Japan. Thanks to Dennis for sharing. I personally have seen and one time ordered "Kobe style" or "Australian Wagyu" items on menus at some of these places. I think the place I ordered something was Capital Grille: a "Wagyu carpaccio" app.
