How BAD do you want it? A5 WAGYU SALE

crabcakez

Costco has $300 off a 12lb A5 Grade ribeye roast coming in at $899.99. Maybe someone in here has the monetary fortitude to snag some of this god beef... Anyone wanna go halvsies?

Ridiculous. At least for me and my wallet. If you got it, spend it and enjoy it I guess, but I don't think I could ever enjoy it enough to justify it.

If I were lebron James I would buy it for you. But I'm not.

Cheaper per pound than the ribeye cap from snake river farms

I bought 4.

I won't buy this for the same reason some won't buy SRF Gold brisket - may make everything else pale in comparison and who wants that when you're perfectly content with the status quo?

Dry aged ribeye from my usual source (www.flannerybeef.com) is $$42/lb.

So nearly double the price.

Oh, and D'Artagnan has it for this price as well.

Maybe the importer is having a sale. It's not like they compete with Costco for customers.

Sure! Haven't made smashburgers for a while, so this looks like just the thing. Grind it up and toss it on the grill. Lots of ketchup, too!

If I win the powerball tonight, I'll hook you up crabcakez.... since it's on sale and all.

Holy sh!t. That marbling. 

And the $$$.

Sounds like a group buy for the ButtBlast so everyone can have a taste.

I had the chance to have some A5 back when I was a sous chef at a private golf club. Our Chef was Japanese and had connections. It was reeeeeeediculous.

Back then a strip loin was going for about $400 and that is dating back to 2001.

If you win the powerball you can buy everyone on this thread one.

HofstraJet

Would this be cooked any differently than a regular ribeye?

I will go 1/800zies.

It works out to roughly $47 for a 10oz steak. That's pricey but not unheard of. We've all paid $50 for a steak dinner that wouldn't hold a candle to this thing.

Can you eat one steak off the slab and then return to Costco under their "no questions asked" policy?

When you put it like this it doesn't seem like such a bad deal. I bet 10oz is a lot to eat. I have seen it sold by the ounce in a restaurant before with a 3oz min. Can't remember the price per ounce.

I think I'd be terrified to actually cook it. I'd probably just take it out of the fridge periodically and look at for a few minutes and then put it back in.

No kidding!  Most unrelaxing cook ever!  New rule, if you can't afford to ruin it, you can't afford to cook it.

I wish i was rich :-) my 72$ ribeye roast currently aging till Christmas Day will be good and I'll stay blissfully ignorant of that ^^^

Hans61

@JustineCaseyFeldown would you dry age that?
