cascadia has a kobe beef carpaccio & oyster appetizer and I think they have an entree as well.

[fisticuffs.livejournal.com]

it's on on the tasting menu (pacifica - 7 courses $90).
Soy marninated kobe saku beef with sea scallop, grilled pineapple and wasabi mashed potatoes.

yeah. same here. unless it rolled up all of my favorite things in the world into each course, but nobody would do that for me.

a gourmet burger place I worked at at the Mandalay Bay hotel sold kobe burgers starting at $18 (no toppings).. I couldn't believe that some people would even shell out $60 for one that had truffles and foie gras on it too.

now that I'm actually eating beef again I should see what all the hoo haw is about.

It's like mousse in meat form.

That Cascadia looks good.

I have made kobe burgers a ton of times... they get all weird and small b/c they're so high in fat, I gave up.

There are plenty of places around seattle selling "Kobe" beef. It's not really kobe beef.

1) there really aren't, as you can see from my list
2) if you mean 'imported from japan' then no. but there are farms that have imported the cows and bred them locally, and used similar techniques that the farmers in japan use.
