*SUBSCRIBE to Food Theory!*

What’s the deal with Wagyu beef? If you’re a foodie, you’ve probably heard of the coveted A5 Wagyu beef, which has the PERFECT marbling and taste. Of course, that comes at a hefty price up to $30,000 for a cow. But is Wagyu beef ACTUALLY worth it? And are the restaurants that have been selling you this trendy beef, like Arby’s, Fudruckers, and the Cheesecake Factory, all in on a giant scam? Let’s find out…

“You ate your Christmas tree so your opinion is invalid” I love the small messages that the editors leave on the video lol.

[teamboobooseth]

I love the editors. Jerika’s edits with herself in it commenting on Matt is hilarious.

[DetectiveLance]

I like MatPat's new editor, her inserting herself to call Mat on his own biases about the meat and how the texture is was so funny.

Edit: Alright, she's not technically new, I get it!

This explains why, in a try guy's video, the restaurant came out with a certified verifying that it was 100% wagyu from Japan. I thought it was super weird, but after this episode, it makes sense.

[kilroy]

There was a little restaurant near where I grew up that advertised it's burgers as "Coby beef." They weren't trying to claim that the meat was anything super special, Coby was the name of the rancher that supplied the beef. They're burgers were really good, though.

[MCMonsterbuilder]

Last time I was at a burger place that sold wagyu burgers I was like "I could get one... or I could get two normal ones for the same price"... then I got my two burgers.

[brandonprater]

As a former employee of Arby's, I have a few fun facts to add. The "wagyu" is only 10% of the patty, which is then partially precooked, frozen, thawed, deep fried & microwaved... yet still tasty. Isn't learning fun?! ✌️🍔

[DAISNAID]

I think Matt's explanation of wagyu texture is spot on. Personally, I Loved that texture. It was just a different experience. I loved the single bite appetizer of wagyu I had because it was so rich and umami and felt like an appetizer how it felt like it literally melted in my mouth.

[vectorwolf]

Honestly, the best steak I've had lately was a well aged chuck eye steak. It's not an expensive cut, but not nearly as chewy as you may expect, and extremely flavorful. I'd rate it above a T-bone, frankly. Too many of those I've had lately had about as much character as a brick of damp cardboard.

[DomyTheMad]

5:10i genuinely love the editor being all salty in that part lol

[sebastianrodriguez]

"You ate a Christmas tree so your opinion is invalid" "YOU'RE WEIRD!" *tosses the wagyu*
Yup, that's why I love this channel, it deals with both ends of the argument the exact way it should be dealed with.

[ravensirony]

anyone else proud of Matpat for going 10min into the video before making the "Rare" joke

[glitchygamergirl]

I worked at Arby's when we had the Wagyu burger and I constantly was asked why the burger was so expensive. I even got one myself to taste if it was worth it and honestly it wasn't. It tastes just like a regular burger so I never understood why it was so expensive either

[a_dmon]

5:24 THANK YOU EDITOR FOR YOUR CUTE PROTESTS!!!

Also, I agree with the editor here... Meat that your just melts in your mouth with no resistance is good.

[kittyer]

5:19 "you ate a Christmas tree so your opinion is invalid" comedy gold

[silversonic]

Fun fact, Arby's actually had some fine print for their burgers at least the second time around that said the burgers were actually a beef blend.

[chaparogamesyt]

Mat's puns have gotten out of pocket recently and it's so funny 😂

[Ohmega]

As a Brit, I had no idea the American beef industry did things like this to confuse customers into agreeing it’s good quality

[Kwauhn.]

Got to give it to the editors in this video, those burn/fade effects with the images over the wood texture are really nice. Looks like actual burn marks being made in reverse when the sprites/text fades away. Made me pause and wonder how they achieved it haha.

[terrivel]

Ethan Chlebowski did a great video with Guga recently on this as well, and really shows how the marketing tactics around Wagyu come into play.
