I think the American “Wagyu” thing is 99% wasting money on vapid marketing with no other benefits but if you’re going to use it in something, chili ain’t it.

It’s the Angus of the Trump era.

I use wagyu in my Sunday Spaghetti sauce. Sweeter flavor.

Not totally marketing vapor - some beautiful marbling on the ribeye I cooked up the other night (turned out delicious but actually too rich for a main). But 100% agree on the chili.

Yeah. The only possible justification for all these "specially raised cows" to get particular marbling is steaks and, like, hotpot mixins. But "Wagyu" has become the new beef marketing fad, the way "Black Angus" was a decade ago.

If you're gonna disguise chuck as Wagyu, chili is a good way to do it.

Are you saying Tesla — Tesla!— might be exploiting a regulatory gap in its marketing materials?

Years ago in Vegas a place had a “777 burger” that cost $777 dollars and it was made of ground wagyu, lobster, and some kind of truffle. Looked like a real abomination. Definitely for rich morons with no taste.

Even wagyu cows have cuts best for stew, it seems like

Even the trimmings of wagyu has more value as something other than chili

It’s idiotic. I’m sure you know this, but ‘Wa’ - ancient name for Japan. ‘Gyu’ - beef. Wagyu literally means Japanese beef. That’s it. Obviously some of it is amazing, but just saying Wagyu on its own tells you approximately nothing.

Wagyu beef chili is hellish. Wagyu beef burgers are also dumb. Wagyu is Wagyu because of fat content...the fact that so few people realize you can just add more beef fat to ground chuck and basically make your own Wagyu at home will forever confound me.

The kid's grilled cheese costs basically the same as the "Tesla burger"? Is the burger bad or is the grilled cheese smothered in truffle oil?
