Any Wagyu Beef in St. Louis?

Does anyone know of a butcher in St Louis that sells or Wagyu beef, or a restaurant that serves it?

      Straub's grocery store sells it.

      I just recalled that my buddy at Finale, Tony Dahl, served us a Kobe hamburger with a slice of foie on top. Not sure if that's a normal thing, and if they also have kobe steaks.

          The Royale on Kingshighway South said they were going to start serving Kobe beef. Maybe they can tell you their supplier.

            oh...and I've had Wagyu at Arthur Clay's, but I don't think it's a mainstay. I've had a difficult time trying to find even grass fed beef in St. Louis, and even when I found that, it had been frozen.

            booooooooooo

              Wagyu is a breed of Japanese cattle. Kobe is a type of Wagyu beef. It is incredibly fatty, and therefore full of flavor.

              short form anyway...

                O.K., I'll bite: what is Wagyu beef?
                Thanks, p.j.
