"You can buy a $41 burger in New York these days, at the Old Homestead Steakhouse on Ninth Avenue. The owner, Greg Sherry, calls it the Kobe-burger, because though the cows come from Oregon, they are raised according to the methods of cattle farmers in Kobe, Japan. But who knows what those methods are? Not Greg. 'I think it's because they don't force feed them,' he says, vaguely. 'Basically, they raise the cows slower, more carefully. But listen, we're not selling real Kobe beef here. At best, it's an American approximation. The real deal, from Japan, you can't even import that stuff and it would cost hundreds of dollars if you could. It's just amazing. And there's this whole legend around it, about beer and music, you know, but I really couldn't say what's true and what's not...' "
