The best steak I've ever had was Argentinian.
Scots beef has a better reputation than English, and Kobe beef is renowned because it is so expensive and because of the indulgent way the animals are reared, with daily massage and being given beer to drink.

Other than that, you are entirely correct.

In terms of cuts, chateaubriand is the costliest, being as it is the best bit of the fillet (the middle) - ribeye has more flavour but is more likely to have sinew and is thus less prized by poncy restaurants.

Had some chateaubriand
in Aberdeen on Valentines day. Have to say it was wonderful, but perhaps not the best.

I think the Argies have the best rep, especially cooked on a BBQ or flame grill. But I have to say the Scots are up there. I'm in the industry and can actually tell our customers the exact field that the animal has spent most of its 16-30 months on earth.

Oh'aye', I forgot about chateaubriand, I've never tried it but I've always wanted to.
I suppose, A normal cut of beef in an amazing resturant would be fantastic, the chataubriand of a kobi cooked in a shit resturant would be horrible.

A guy up here
tried crossing a kobi with the traditional Scotch breeds (Simmental or Limousin) and basically trying to get the best of both worlds.

Not heard much since the initial press release so I'm assuming failure.

It'll take a lifetime to do it properly.
I wonder if he could do it better by treating a standard scotch breed with kobi methords and maybe importing the hay/grass.

I can't be the first person to think that, and it hasn't happened yet, so I guess it doens't quite work like that.

I took Wiggy to Gaucho's for his birthday last year
and they bring the lumps of meat out to you before you order, it's pretty cool. Cost me £100 but it was worth it, best meal evar.
