Gents, I have just bought the rarest steak on Earth. With only 2200 Olive Wagyu cows on the planet, this is one of the world’s rarest steaks. It’s also one of the tastiest. Sky-high levels of peptides and glutamic acid make for a bolder umami flavor than you find in Kobe beef or A5 Wagyu. And thanks to its diet of oleic-rich olives, Olive Wagyu also has the highest oleic acid levels of any Japanese beef, giving an extraordinary softness and melt-in-your-mouth feel. Every five years Japan holds a nationwide "Wagyu Olympics" where entrants compete in steak-quality categories like marbling and fat quality, and where occasionally, virtually-unknown steaks can score glory. That's what happened in 2017, when Olive Wagyu -- a little-known beef from coastal Kagawa -- beat out all 182 other steak entrants to win the fat quality award for its unheard-of levels of the healthy fat oleic acid, at 65.2% of its total fat content. Japanese beef already has a much higher proportion of monounsaturated fats than American beef, but it's rare to see levels of this monounsaturated fat higher than 50%. At more than 65% oleic acid, the fat on an Olive Wagyu steak has anti-inflammatory properties, easily melts at room temperature, and creates a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Olive Wagyu is raised on just a handful of farms in and around Shodoshima Island in Japan’s smallest prefecture, Kagawa. The cows are fed a diet of Inawara rice straw, Italian ryegrass, and pressed olive pulp that’s toasted and caramelized for sweetness. The Olive Wagyu available on Crowd Cow comes from Obana, Aomine, and Kawafuji Olive Farm. The auction went fast. Just 13 minutes start to finish. I managed to get my hands on one .675 oz NY Strip for the princely sum of 125 dollars. Since this will be the one and only time in my life I am likely to taste it it was worth it. I'll let you guys know!

This is a local restaurant that serves Wagyu seared on a hot rock.

The flat noodles looks like ''pad see ew''. The Thai noodle dishes pad see ew and pad thai are popular with westerners. The rice paper rolls is Vietnamese, but is popular throughout SE Asia.

Thai fish cakes (tod mon pla). They're a cheap snack food in Thailand, but a delicacy in western countries.

Roast beef king Arby's is betting big on lamb Seems like a mistake to me. The average American diner isn't interested in lamb as an option and I'm certainly not going to be thinking Arbys if I get a hunger for a gyro. If I'm going to Arby's I generally want a Beef'n Cheddar or a French Dip.

Anthony Bourdain dead at 61. Such a sad day. He was my favorite food blogger. He travelled to parts of the world many dared not travel, and showed food that many people didn't know existed. He also showed the cultures of the places he visited. I remember an episode he was in Northern Thailand, and was drinking Lao Kao at an eatery when it was early in the morning, and he spoke about how it makes you hallucinate , and he showed food that everyday people eat in various regions around the world, which helped break the stereotypes of ''Chinese food is mainly sweet and sour pork with fried rice '', and ''All Thai food is spicy''.

Wait, didn't he have a series on Netflix? I tried to watch it but he just came off as a bit of an asshole, always talking down to people and such.
