Wagyu

[Liza]

Getting some from Lobel's - sear it and finish in the oven? Grill?

I know this was discussed recently, but putting Wagyu and Kobe into the search engine, I'm not finding it.

Did you search all forums all dates?

We'll never know. But at least I wasn't hallucinating.

I think I read an article sometime in the past in which the author tried cooking wagyu to different degrees of doneness, and found that the more it was cooked, the "better" it was. Does anyone else remember this article? 'Cause I can't remember when or where I saw it, and I don't have time to dig through my files.

Suzanne, that may be Jeffrey Weingarten - the piece is included in The Man Who Ate Everything. He didn't argue that it just got better and better as it got more and more done, but he definitely came out in favor of cooking it well beyond rare.

That's it! Thanks, Wilfrid. BTW, that's why I put "better" in quotes. (as a cop-out)

Steingarten.

Yes, him too. Or his vegan twin. No wonder the book was filed between Ruhlmann and Studley.

Edit: I almost wrote evil vegan twin, but I didn't want to insult anyone.
