Chef went to the local butcher today and, used to being treated like a nuisance, decided to make himself even more of a nuisance. He asked the guy behind the counter, “I know that in the Midwest we can get up to fifteen different breeds of cattle in here, so do you know what breeds you’re bringing in?”
The guy behind the counter replied, “Uh, it’s just a cow.”
Chef sighed and began to ask for him to bring up various cuts of beef so that he could examine and reject them. Then he came home with a pound of ground beef.

* To which Chef says, “Chef turned snob a long time ago.”
Yes, but does he pester the local organic beef people at the local farmer’s market every week asking if, by chance, this was the week that they might possibly have brought some hangar steak?
I totally just commented.
Apparently not. It’s not in the queue.
Fercryinoutloud. Even in the Midwest we’re not that obnoxious.
“Black Angus” is like the best marketing campaign for what translates in English to “mediocre dairy cow” ever. “It’s just a cow” = “Black Angus”. Now, wagyu on the other hand…. mmm.
