As part of a $ 595 dinner.
It’s official, we are now living through the last days of our equivalent of the Roman Republic.

An earlier EaterSF article provides some context.
Well, a good cut from Wagyu beef does have a deep price. Even then, Waygu is not the most expensive beef from Japan. I guess if they use sufficient amount of wagyu beef, then it isn’t too outrageous. Afterall, a $180 wagyu steak is not different than a $180 wagyu beef sandwich.
"At $3,200, the 2000 vintage cote de boeuf (rib steak) is the world’s most expensive steak. "

I dunno, no better even with context…LOL.
I agree this overpriced white bread sandwich is one of the silliest things I’ve seen in a while. I’d even rather do the publicized “bacon omakase” the NY Times reported:
"…a Brooklyn Korean fusion restaurant does a 9-course bacon-focused omakase: https://www.theguardian.com/belly-new-york-bacon-restaurant-nine-course-tasting-menu-brooklyn "

How crazy is that?
That sounds like it’s right in @NotJrvedivici 's wheelhouse. Do you think we can get the Blue Grotto to serve this?
So silly! Reminds me of one nouveau riche type a few years ago who boasted about buying a dozen bottles of Pappy Van Winkle 23 yr and used it to make Manhattans. Bleh.

We have another entrant in the pricey wagyu beef sandwich category. Hiroshi, the high end Japanese place in Los Altos, is offering the wagyu katsu sandwich in a slightly discounted price of $165.
Do you get linen napkins with that?
