The chef let your friend off easy. If it were my restaurant, his head would be mounted on a stick outside the entrance. He had a chance at legit kobe beef and wanted it well done? You need better friends, before they get you killed being mixed up in their stupidity.

Thanks for the post, though. I now have a new thing for my bucket list...."kobe beef" dinner in the USA, hop on a plane to Japan and eat more KOBE BEEF back to back.
