Where was I?

Friends.....we have been working for firefighters and those left behind watching over our critters and vines. We are open again tomorrow, planning on serving mostly in the garden, but you are welcome to stop by and see what we have. Thank you for your patience as we rebuild whatever fantasy we were operating on two weeks ago! Michael 831-659-5100

16 August Menu

We have our signature Wagyu flap from Mishima Ranch. Flap is a relatively obscure cut that is tender and delicious. It will be ready later today for around $13-14 per pound.

Wagyu means Japanese cow.....in this case a Japanese bull. Different Wagyu's come from different geographical areas in Japan. The most famous is Kobe, from the port city. Until Commodore Perry, four legged animals were rarely eaten...they did the work. Kobe steers hauled freight, so had big shoulders and big butts. And, no...they aren't fed beers. The Kirin brewery is in Kobe, and the critters get the by-products of fermentation.
Our Wagyu is Akaushi, which means Red Cow. Akaushi comes from Kumamoto (land of the oysters) and pulled carts in the hilly terrain. They have big shoulders and smaller butts.
The flap is known as "bavette" in Europe. It is part of the flank steak. It is super popular in Columbia, but almost unknown in the US. It is super tender and beautifully marbled, but it doesn't want to be grilled beyond medium rare.
