UK Hotelier To Raise His Own Wagyu Beef

Filed under: Dining, Journeys


Jonathan Denby, who owns three hotels in England's Lake District, takes the food he feeds his guests very seriously. In addition to thriving kitchen gardens, he has an entire farm devoted to raising livestock. Now he's taken it to the next level by importing embryos of Japanese Wagyu calves. Denby plans to become a Wagyu breeder to provide the famous luxury steaks for his three hotel restaurants. Denby is continue the Wagyu-style tradition by pampering his calves with massages, classic music and tastes of the local beer. While most restaurants and suppliers in the UK import the meat from elsewhere, Denby would be one of the few to offer meat he raised himself. His first two calves were just born recently so it will be a bit of a wait for that steak dinner.

Kobe Steak Sampler, Father's Day Gift of the Day

Filed under: Dining

One of the traditions of Father's Day, for many families, is having a barbecue. Though at first it may seem odd to make Dad cook his own dinner, it is generally accepted that most of these guys enjoy doing it. So, to facilitate one of the best grilling days of the year, surprise your dad with a Kobe Steak Sampler for Father's Day. For $199, you get 2 each of the Kobe filet mignons (6 oz), Kobe NY strip steaks (10 oz) and Kobe top sirloins (8 oz). Due to the way the meat is raised, each piece should be some of the most tender beef you or Dad has had the opportunity to taste - let alone to cook. If you are having guests, you might want to think about the King of the Grill Sampler ($109.99), which includes 6 Kobe top sirloins and 8 Kobe burgers.

Of course, this will all go over much better if Dad already has a premium grill or outdoor kitchen to do the actual cooking.
