Learning About Wagyu Cows: What's Wagyu Beef

Real Food Traveler REAL Podcast

We’ve heard the name, of course, and even had it several times in restaurants. But we really didn’t know what it meant in terms of what the cow is like, what it means in terms of raising them and feeding them. And, since it is something of a delicacy, and more expensive than regular beef, we wanted to know how to prepare it well at home and how to order it well at a restaurant. So, what’s Wagyu Beef all about? All of this Wagyu curiosity was prompted by an annual event at Angel Fire Resort in Angle Fire, New Mexico, called the Wine & Wagyu Weekend. In 2018, it takes place August 24-26. Visit our main article to get details about it. But to learn more about the main focus of the event, the beef, we had a chat with two folks from the ranch supplying the beef, A Bar N Ranch, Katie Bolner and Chef Al. Take a listen and learn about this very special beef and a very special event honoring it. What’s Wagyu Beef? It’s more than just a name. It’s a way of ranching, and eating.
