The Experience: We became aware of Honey Hollow Wagyu when we set up our coupon code with the Wagyu beef purveyors (you can get half off ground beef by typing BURGER50 in the coupon box). And while the reputation of HH Wagyu preceded itself, we felt we should try it for ourselves to give you an idea of what to expect throughout the entire Honey Hollow process.

The Honey Hollow ranch is antibiotic and hormone-free, and uses cattle DNA-verified 100% Wagyu breed. The ranch is located in Jacksboro, Texas, and has been since 1995. The meat is dry aged for 21 days. It is shipped from their distribution center in Kansas City, Missouri in a protective box with frozen gel-packs. The box is placed into a reusable Styrofoam cooler, which is further protected by a secure shipping container for delivery. The beef was as frozen as could be when it arrived, alleviating any fears about thawing during its trip to New York.

The Taste and Verdict: We prepared our burger on a flat-top grill, seasoned simply with salt and pepper. We topped the burgers with provolone cheese, Red Chili Empire Mayonnaise, and ketchup. We sandwiched these ingredients within a Portuguese bun and took our first bite. The texture of the beef was fantastic. The simple flavoring allowed us to really enjoy the tender and juicy patties. We cooked a few burgers at differing temperatures, and were pleased with the taste, moisture, and texture of the beef at both medium rare and medium well.
