The Whimsical, Modern French Cuisine of Atelier Crenn [Thoughts + Pics]

Thanks!

Yeah @FoodDreams. I think Iā€™m looking at Wagyu all wrong - like itā€™s a cut rather than a cow. I probably have not had the right cuts.

Dratsā€¦ we were living downtown for a few months and Shibumi was on our list, but we didnā€™t make it. Weā€™ll have to correct that soon. Thanks!

Is Wagyu other than rib-eye and NY strip available in the US?

Yes

See, I think this is what Iā€™ve had. Because Wagyu tends to be pricey most restaurants probably serve the strip. The Wagyu Iā€™ve had has been full of flavor and not exactly chewy, just not tender enough for me.

dā€™Artagnanā€™s ā€œWagyuā€ is raised in the US.

I donā€™t want to turn this into a beef discussion. But if the stock is Japanese what is the difference? Is it the diet or how itā€™s raised or something else Iā€™m missing?

Good farming practices.

Actually thereā€™s no problem with Dā€™Artagnan saying Wagyu. Thatā€™s a group of breeds.

Crenn serves A5 Wagyu, which is only from Japan, since that grading system does not exist here. Dā€™Artagnan sellls A5, but only ribeye and strip loin. Their other Wagyu is US-raised.
