    Looks yummy, but I'm not a meat snob, so, no.

    That $153 would pay for my gas and hunting license, beer snacks. In turn hang at the hunting shack for a week and in turn fill the freezer with venison and fish.

    I would not purchase that Brisket. The most ever paid for a beef brisket was $75 and it was 6.5 lbs.

    I'm not a fan of the Wagyu beef. To me that meat is way too fatty. I guess some folks like to cook and eat fat, I'm not one of them.

    If it's actually Wagyu (it's not), that's about 1/3rd market price for the lowest grades of Wagyu.

    FYI, there's no real restrictions on what can be called Wagyu but even then, low grade Wagyu is still about $150 a pound. A5 grade which is what Kobe beef is, costs several hundred to over 1000 bucks a pound if the cow's pedigree can be proven.

    That is most likely regular old Black Angus beef raised in the Wagyu style so it can be labeled as Wagyu here. Which isn't bad because Black Angus cows have been bred specifically for the quality of the meat which can rival that of the 4 main breeds of cow raised for Wagyu. It's just not real Wagyu.

    Them Japanese don't know what awesome is. Veileson is the best! I don't hunt on my property but when beef gets too expensive or the world goes to hell in a hand basket, all I need is a hand full of corn and a claw hammer and I'll have venison for dinner!

    I agree wholeheartedly.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    I don't have elk on my property anymore since my stupid neighbor built a fence blocking their natural migratory path. But if I could get them convinced it was okay to eat corn out of my hands...

    Much of what is being pushed as Waygu really isn't......and for a brisket, it's pointless anyway. Marbling in brisket isn't all that important......put this way, I could do a no-roll brisket and that Waygu brisket and you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference

    I dove into Wagyu this last year. Its over rated if you ask me. No..... I would not pay that much for a brisket. I think it has more to do with how you smoke/ cook it. I actually have a few dry aged wagyu steaks in the freezer. I honestly don't think they are worth the extra cost over say a prime grade steak.

    But to each thier own. If you like it..... buy it.
