What Places Serve Really Kobe Beef in Amerill

Ah, Kobe beef. Yes, it's the cut of meat you avail yourself of only on a truly luxurious evening. You can probably taste it right now: so juicy and mouthwatering, it literally falls apart in your mouth. But there's only one problem: you've probably never actuallyhad Kobe beef before. That's because only nine dining establishments in the U.S. actually serve it.

Real Kobe beef—which comes from purebred Japanese cattle or their offspring—has to be certified by the Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Association. That means the stuff served at your local steakhouse or your local burger joint is, well… Let's just say that here in the U.S., the term "Kobe" isn't exactly regulated. (And if you believe the folks at Forbes, real Kobe beef is in fact one of "the biggest food scam[s] in recent history.")

But if you want the real thing, you can certainly find it. We've tracked down the nine restaurants in America that serve certified, real Kobe beef. (Las Vegas dwellers and visitors, rejoice: there are three prime locations for you to choose from.) So get out there and enjoy. Just be sure to brush up on the Sophisticated Man's Guide to Fine Dining before you make any reservations at these upscale establishments.

SLS Hotel, 2535 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas

Celebrity chef José Andrés whips up dishes inspired by Spanish cuisine. Expect steaks coated in mojo verde, Valdéon blue cheese, or moruno marinade. As far as the beef itself, Andrés uses American Kobe, which is a touch tougher and more like the sirloin you may be used to. American Kobe is also a bit cheaper; a 20 oz. steak, easily large enough for two hungry people, will run you $140. Before you hit the strip, though, it might serve you well to know the single best way for doubling your money in Vegas.
