After watching Todd English's new show on food in Japan, I happened across a NYT review of Kobe. Got me ruminating on ruminants.
I sometimes find it hard to recall that I was once a vegetarian. There are moments of carnivorous bliss when this seems impossible. One such moment is when I am enjoying a divine piece of beef.
- Last week I picked up a tri-tip cut of "Kobe" which was actually Wagyu. A very quick pan sear then a drizzle of clarified butter with some ancho chile powder. Heaven.
- Todd English dined on Shabu Shabu including Kobe beef.
- And finally, I read Frank Bruni's snarky piece on the new New York City Chodorow restaurant. Chodorow was one of the short-lived TV food guys connected to Rocco Di Spirito's debacle.
- The new restaurant is called Kobe, and serves - what else - beef. They might want to save a slab for the black eye he gives them, too!
Check out my Wagyu versus Kobe piece and learn about this gift from happy cows, and obsessive farmers.
