Also Argie Wagyu is really damn good and like $40 for a NY Strip vs $120 in the USA.
If we compare average steak, Argentina crushes.
Where do you recommend for an Argentine Wagyu? The only one I've had was from one of the Puerto Madero resteraunts, cost $50, and did not compare to a US or Japanese counterpart. Outside of that, I agree with everything else said in the thread.
One note, I've had a lot of success after I realized how much you need to stress the rareness to the server. Muy muy azul (blue) por favor will often get you an American medium rare instead of the stadard medium or medium well you get when ordering rojo or jugoso.
