Anyone Care for Costco’s Ribeye Roast … $2,299.99?

Hey All:

Check this out. Costco is selling Japanese Wagyu Beef for a very special price … $2,299.99!!! You got to hurry before they are all sold out and do it early too to take advantage of their free shipping.

Let’s do some math here, shall we?

• 15 lb is equivalent to 240 oz
• 15 lb is equivalent to thirty 8 oz steak
• So, an 8 oz piece works out to be $76.66 before tax.

Come to think of it, it is not that expensive after all. I am sure Costco is targeting this product to high-end restaurants. You know, Suanne and I might be willing to spend that kind of money ($76.66, not $2,299.99!) but the dilemma would be how to grill it to perfection. For that kind of money it better be perfect.

How many of you had tried Kobe or Wagyu Beef before? Care to share with us your experience … i.e. where, how much, was it worth the money, etc?
