Technically, kobe is a city, but not all wagyu is kobe. Wagyu is the type of cow(4 breeds). Kobe comes from 1 specific type of wagyu cow, raised strictly to 'Kobe' standards. So all kobe is wagyu, not the other way around. Kobe is trademarked in Japan, and anything sold under their name has to meet their strict standards.VRBeauty|1449696013|3959492 said:Apparently Wagyu beef is from the Kobe region, which would make it a subset of "Kobe beef." I have had Kobe beef appetizers that were quite wonderful. Given the portion size and what I paid, I probably paid somewhere around the $100-150/pound range, but for the beef alone (excluding preparation and other restaurant mark-ups) so I'm guessing it wasn't quite as special as the Costco beef. Was it worth it? Well, let's just say that I've ordered that appetizer more than once. But no, I wouldn't hand over $1,2000 for a beef roast.
thank you for posting the link. They are not calling it Kobe in this link.amc80|1449696575|3959496 said:I thought it surely had to be a typo. Nope. $109/lb.

Sorry, just following you around here, harassing you. Also my mother has a signed Jaco Pastorius vinyl cover. Just saying. She may or may not have sold him her house in Florida in 1977.

If that's the case then they're going to be hitting me with premiums instead

Seriously. No...it was in 1976-77, I believe. He and his wife bought my parents' home in Pompano Beach, near Fort Lauderdale, shortly before his untimely demise. My mother speaks well of his wife but has always said she thought Jaco didn't seem quite right. From what I understand he was quite brilliant but had severe mental illness which led to his death.(I'm sure you've heard the story.) I think my mother has always felt sad for JP and has never spoken of seeing anything that might be newsworthy. She has mentioned a brief story of dealing with he and Tracy (his wife at the time.) She has always maintained that they were both "stoned and had been drinking." My mother never drank nor served alcohol. I can gather more of the story if you like. It's not something I usually tell, basically due to the sensitivity of the issues surrounding his life and death.

I'm DF's butler.
He calls me his bitch, but I prefer the term butler.
