More About:

Michelle Obama celebrated her 48th birthday last week with her husband and friends at a D.C. steakhouse where the menu features a $28 hamburger named "The Obama."

BLT Steak describes its Obama burger as an 8-oz. American Kobe burger with bacon, cheddar cheese, burnt tomato ketchup, and scallion mustard.

American Kobe beef is from a line of Japanese Wagyu cattle, which traditionally are fed a special diet and massaged to produce the fat-marbling for which the meat is prized.

The old wives tale of massaging Wagyu cattle to get Kobe beef should not be perpetuated by BEEF magazine! I have lived there and know that it is not the case today, who knows if or when it ever was the case. I have read articles here in the US that also debunk this myth!
