Fatcow Kobe Beef
Ever wanted to try the world’s most expensive beef? Now you can, without having to leave the state! James Street’s Fatcow has become the first Queensland restaurant certified to sell the world’s most expensive and sought-after beef – Kobe Beef.
After 18 months of hard work to achieve the certification, this exciting development well and truly puts Fatcow on the map among fewer than 100 restaurants worldwide that serve the holy grail of premium beef.
Led by head chef Garry Newton, the restaurant will offer Kobe beef two ways, so that diners can appreciate the unique characteristics, rich flavour and unparalleled tenderness that this specialty offers.
