Worth the 6 bucks WHERE?

Dude you've made like 1/2 of a semi-intelligent post since you got here. Lurk more, post less.

JetsFanatic - Kobe beef is DEFINITELY very good, but it is best when prepared at a Kobe steakhouse.

If you buy it raw it's still good but it's much better when cooked properly.

That's definitely near the top of my list of foods to try. And yes, I would pay for it.

I had the seared kobe beef tartare appetizer for $23.00 at Morimoto's in Philly a couple months ago. It was so tender and flavorful. Although it was a really tiny portion, it was worth every penny!!!!

Kobe beef, in Japan, is quite good and very expensive. I ate about ~$100 worth of beef and could have easily had 3-4 more plates. Good stuff, very expensive.

while it'd be a good burger you shouldn't make hamburger out of it.

The only reason Kobe Beef is so expensive is because land in Japan is so expensive. There is a ton of beef in America that is just as good or better and also cheaper.

Kobe is like a namebrand though and people automatically think it is better.

The main problem is someone orders a $50 Kobe Beef dinner for a special occasion and compares it to the $4.99 T-Bone they got from the Sizzler.

You're thinking of getting the burger at Homestead? I was thinking about trying it too.

I've had Kobe beef in Kobe when I worked in Japan and I wasn't that impressed. I prefer a nice porterhouse at Morton's over it.
