It's Kobe Beef, not Kobe Tai

For those of you out there that got the title right away... "Right On!!"

Any who... I requested to sample some Kobe Beef for an upcoming event we are going to have... So earlier this week, we got a box full of Kobe Beef flown in from Japan.
We held a meeting Wednesday morning, taste testing the various cuts and came to a unanimous decision. That it's all Freegin' Awesome.

But I wanted to take it one step further... So I brought the remaining cuts to my good friend, the Chef at a pretty nice bistro in Manhattan, and his staff prepared a Kobe Beef Tasting that was out of this world.
Nothing pretentious... Just straight forward good hearty French Bistro flare.
It Was Out Of This Woooooorld.
