Hard to take a steakhouse seriously that's grilling wagyu


Out of genuine curiosity, why?


Wagyu should be relatively thin, rare, and seared well. Grilling is always an inferior method for steak but especially that one
Every single time I've had wagyu and heard chefs discussing it's been that wagyu needs to be medium-rare not rare to allow the intramuscular fat to render into the meat more.

And a true wagyu of that size would be difficult to eat. There's so much fat content and they're so rich it fills you up pretty quickly.

And correct me if I'm wrong but the vast majority of Wagyu we come across here in the States is just a cross with Angus or something similar? Additionally we shouldn't expect a purebred Wagyu raised in the states to taste the same as one raised in Japan.

I think most Americans think they are getting Japanese Wagyu when they order wagyu at a grocery store or wherever and really they're not. It's quite different.

Steak dorks are almost as bad as kolache dorks.


Nobody ever says they can make better kolaches in their backyard.

My Grandma could!
Jak se mas?


Mam se dobre!
Dame si pivo


I miss my grandma's kolaches. Poppyseeds were my favorite, then cream cheese.
Bummer part is my mom can't make them as well as her mom could. Maybe that >65 year old clay mixing bowl grandma used.

Damn it, now I'm hungry for a kolache.
Need some assistance y'all. Closest to grandmas I've been able find around here are in Brenham. Anyone know where some good ones are sold in the tine?
If around here includes Brenham, have you tried the ones at Prasek's? They're in Sealy now too in addition to El Campo. Have a pretty good cream cheese and also have good Poppyseed rolls(loaf/strudel? whatever the right name is).

No no no no no... if this thread were to happen in real life it would absolutely have been at a Ryan's Steakhouse, not a Golden Corral.

Weikels has better kolaches. Pumpkin creame cheese around the holidays are the bomb.

Hruskas has the better klob's. The breakfast sausage and cheese are great. Weikels sausage that they use sucks.

I'm a big fan of the breakfast sausage at Hruska's, ham too.

AustinCounty -- The great improvements to 290 have curtailed my opportunities to stop at Bellville Meat Market on the way to Grandma's. My kids and I love that place. I'll have to take the "long" way next time.

Been to Denver location many times, the one here once. Good place. I'd slot it under Pappas and V&A tier.

yes, it is a solid meat market. Little pricey, but always consistent. Can never go wrong with their dry sausage, or chipotle smoked sausage.

Bellville Meat Market smells like an old barbecue place from my childhood. I can't put a finger on what barbecue place it was from my childhood but standing in the parking lot conjures memories from 30 years ago. Perhaps Barth's BBQ from Kenedy, Tx… ?

I always enjoyed their breakfast. It's been a couple of years since I've been but I need to stop by when I visit my in-laws nearby.

No way that place is still open. Haven't been through that way in a long time. We always called it "Barf's" when we were kids

Had Pappas over the weekend. Service was absolutely fantastic as always, but food quality seemed to be slipping some from what it once was. Don't get me wrong it was good, but nothing top in the US or even top in the state good.

The filet at Royers in Round Top is still better.

Everywhere we try is compared to Vic & Anthony's. And none are better.
