Cooking a Wagyu burger from Sam’s club. Was it better than Walmart Wagyu beef?? Let’s find it out!

[@BlackoutsBox]

Sam's club and Walmart generics are exactly the same supplier - so any perceived difference in taste is either psychological because walmart = cheap to most people. For instance. Walmart Great Value brand's are not made by Walmart and many Sam's club items are sold in Walmart. Sam's club soda pop IS coca cola. The meats are also sourced from the same supplier. Neither of them manufacture their own food product. They make a deal with name brand companies for premium display space - they get to sell x amount of generic brand item at usually half or more the cost. I was completely suprised at how good Walmart beef was when I was buying $8 per pound organic grass fed beef from new Zealand.

[@CraigSanders04]

The only thing I would add to that is that since wagyu is such pricey meat they are grinding up every part of it they can. The flavor, texture and quality will vary from batch to batch. It's entirely possible that this one was better to him. But then again the next batch might not be.

[@datsuntoyy]

He also cooked them differently, seasoned them differently and put cheese on one. That has a big effect on that perceived difference.

[@BetaCuckAlpha]

The Sam's Club one is from "American BBQ Company", which is not Sam's Club generic.

[@sandrawright6975]

Thank you for clearing the air. If I see wagyu marked equate I shall purchase it

[@trl2151]

Alot of generics aren't actually like this, atleast not these days. Wal Mart / Sams Club have their own manufacturers, and farms for alot of their products so they can have more power and control over things like cost and quality. This covers alot of their things including dairy and alot of meat products.

[@logicaldude3611]

Y’all need to try this and make a double or triple smashburger. Put it on the grill about as thin as a piece of cardboard. Sear each side so that the fat caramelizes on each side of every patty. Add cheese after you’ve flipped the first side. Let the cheese get all sloppy as you sear the other side. You’ll be addicted. You basically take the two sides that are normally seared and caramelized and then it into 4 or 6 sides of that. TRY THE DOUBLE OR TRIPLE SMASHBURGER!

Yessir I do this best burger you’ll ever have I might have to start a food truck and sell these

[@jaron3259]

I did it this beef is so good

[@briantmartin83]

I have the exact meat in the fridge and this was a great way to get a quick burger dinner together. AWESOME

[@DDubb4325]

Love the seasoning choices! Allows the natural Wagyu flavor to do its thing

We just got some so I looked it up

Yummy just bought some gonna cook them tonight 😋

Great video, you should do some more reviews!

[@dahntahn253]

Best hamburger I've ever had, great video!!

[@alexathome]

Thank you so much!! I am so glad you enjoyed your burger 🍔 too!!!

[@小兰-q4v]

Just tried at home last week! It was yummy!

[@datsuntoyy]

not a fair comparason. You used onion on this one and paprika on the other. I've found onion powder (same with garlic) in cooking ground beef tends to give it a slightly dry/grainy taste, use real onions. Also, salting before cooking can dry the meat out, try salting after you cook so it doesn't draw moisture while cooking. You also grilled one and pan cooked the other which will greatly alter taste as well as fat content.

[@marcusanthony470]

no he's right the walmart wagyu is more mushy and less beefy

[@datsuntoyy]

@@marcusanthony470 Mushy yes as it has a much higher fat content. As for "beefy", I guess that's personal preference.

[@marcusanthony470]

@@datsuntoyy oh lord let me educate you. the mushiness comes from their bad grind, and the beefy taste is referring to the quality of meat

[@datsuntoyy]

@@marcusanthony470 If that's what you believe. Cheap Wagyu tastes a hell of a lot better than cheap hamburger.

[@ThemeParkBeast98]

​@marcusanthony470 you're the one that needs to be educated the mushy literally comes from the fat content.

[@brainstormhomeschoolacadem1059]

I just got some too!! Let's see how it cooks up!!!🤤

[@alexathome]

I am sure it will come out great! 👍

[@alexathome]

Thanks for the subscription. I subscribed back! 😊

[@FeonaLeeJones]

They taste great if you make it into tacos as well! I recommend trying Costco brand of the same type of beef. It’s very high-quality!

[@alexathome]

I will put it into taco next time 😀

[@rockypoint8660]

Had this one before. It was delicious!

[@amyr3285]

I got some wagyu beef like that but at Giant Eagle, a supermarket in the Midwest. Mine looks fattier. I hope I can make it as good as yours looks.

[@mischievousmonshine1711]

I’ve got the same thank god lol, can’t wait to try a nice Wagyu steak though

[@alexathome]

Awesome! They are so good. I am sure you will enjoy it! 😊

[@XxSniperFiendxX]

Yeah I bought some and made some shit was banging🔥now I’m on KZbin seeing what else I can make lol

[@alexathome]

Awesome! I hope it turned out to be yummy 😋!

[@donjogn]

costco wagyu bulk burger they carry now fresh is as good or better than this brands at sams, i was so happy when costco started carrying it, i only kept sams club membership for the wagyu heh

[@MrJoJoJoJo]

Nice i just made some too, delicious

[@survivalSC]

Sams club cola is not made by coke. If you believe that you must also think Pepsi takes like coke. Lots of other thinks are made in the same plant but that does not mean it’s the same item. Companies have different requirements on items.

[@CreamyBone]

I'm really good at eating hamburgers

[@peterpapuchis9706]

I’m making these tomorrow but, I’m going to put bacon and a fried egg on top of it with a slice of sharp cheddar.

[@alexathome]

Oh my. That sounds sooo good!! 😋

[@JoeyBagOdonuts.]

About to make some waygu burgers now.. Thanks for the video.. Ohh.. Btw.. Currently 25yrs at sammy's club.. What cha wanna know??... Lol

[@nicholasvangaasbeek5908]

Best way to toast a bun is to butter it and put on the grill you cooked your burgers in, let that bun soak up all that greasy goodness then flip when toasted to your preference and heat up the backs

[@alexathome]

Sounds delicious! I will try that next time :)

[@johnwolford2715]

I'm about to try to cook this on the stove...wish me luck

[@alexathome]

I am sure it will come out great! Enjoy 😊

[@esther071994]

Just wanted to let you know if you add seasoning with the exception of the salt you will have juicier burgers. Salt dehydrates the meat. There are videos about that, don’t feel bad though because there have been chefs cooking for 11 years that didn’t know about this. It’s just a tip from prof chefs that shared so I thought I should pass it on.

[@runeplate123]

Like a professional chef is gonna listen to a NOBODY with zero cooking degrees….

[@muggs00]

Thought you were about to make a one pound burger in the beginning

[@alexathome]

Haha 😆 I will do that next time

[@1BackUpPlan1]

Walmart and Sam's Club use the exact same beef distributor. That's why it is the exact same price

[@alexathome]

But they are different color and tasted different though. I prefer the one from Sams

[@1BackUpPlan1]

@@alexathome IDK? To be honest, I've never had Waygu from Sam's Club. I just know they use the same distributor. The thing I'll never understand is how does Walmart sell Waygu for less than Angus hamburger and close to the same price as regular chuck. It's amazing though. It might be part horse to cut down on cost(just kidding).

[@s.mathew3063]

I'm a manager at Walmart. I will give you a thumbs-up and some free wagyu if you can tell the viewers Walmart wagyu is better than Sam's Club. 🤑🤑🤑

[@ScottAdventures]

Don't be lazy -- get into Mini Cooper and go out and get pickle before eating! :-)

[@alexathome]

Haha 😂 yes. I should have! Definitely have pickle next time! 😆

[@Eggs4sale8oi]

The small cheese kinda reminds me of the lunchable cheese

[@alertsnail]

NOOOO binging with babish would be upset. You're supposed to season your Patty's after you're done forming them for a better texture

[@piperjones3227]

No what he did is the correct way. I say that because you get to mix the flavors in between the meat to get flavor throughout the burger not just the top and bottom.

[@danny2shoes]

@@piperjones3227 it's not the correct way, it's the way YOU like it. The correct way is to not mush it up like op did. Just quarter it, smash it in and the season right before cooking. This is wagyu not meatloaf

[@piperjones3227]

@@danny2shoes 🙂 awesome response

[@Mmiikkee983]

Always salt your burgers just before the heat .

[@alexathome]

Yes Sir 😜

[@rolando3853]

Clean grill with half onion and burgers taste better and disinfects grill.

[@alexathome]

Great tip! Will try next time 😀

[@InvictusP37]

Just ate some off the grill..beeeast!!

[@acenem]

They are exactly the same. Lol! Poor kid

[@alexathome]

Haha. They looked different and tasted different 😜

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Bought some at Sam's today. Gonna make it tomorrow. Hoping for the best. Glad you liked yours. What's the difference between Wagu and Kobe?

[@loganlancourmusic]

kobe is wagyu from japan. It is graded on a scale measuring the fat percentage called kobe. a5 kobe is the best beef you can get it. all kobe is wagyu but not all wagyu is kobe.

[@orbitanddecay4380]

@@loganlancourmusic not correct. Kobe is a type of wagyu. Wagyu is just Japanese cows, and there are four different major types. One of those types is Kobe. Another is Notu. It depends on the prefecture

[@GODSGRACE0505]

Walmart not selling all beef patties, don't trust their meat.

[@alexathome]

thanks for the information 😊 👌

[@1BackUpPlan1]

Yes they are. it's 100% Waygu, although it only has to have 50% Waygu genetics. Walmart doesn't use "pink slime" anymore

[@dozermendoza]

Is it real WAGYU though?

[@billybones2385]

It's American Wagyu at a great price. 100% Japanese Wagyu is a lot more expensive

[@alexathome]

Yes. It is American wagyu. Not the high grade wagyu from Japan

[@chrisjohnson5888]

it's the only thing I buy for recipes, I went last week to buy some Walmart burger and oh my God it has no taste, it tastes extremely bad like it's old meat, it's almost like the meat is bad even though it's fresh. as I was cooking it it had so much grease in it you would not believe and it was 80/20

[@Triple_T_]

It is a crime in my opinion to cut a burger in half lol. But maybe you did it to show the meat

[@alexathome]

😜

[@LittleMsBig2001]

Don't buy this wagyu meat from sams unless you can keep buying it, because you will not want any other burger again.

[@alexathome]

😜😊😋

[@dustingriffith4725]

Does homeboy know that Sam's club and Walmart are the same company??? He does the same exact video and compares them???????????

[@alexathome]

Hi I know they are the same company. The products are from different companies. They look different and taste different. 😂 I promise you 😛 😜

[@cstinson207]

There's no point in buying ground wagyu, it's just regular ground beef with more fat

[@joepanza297]

Get some Heinz ketchup

[@MaryJ0]

I think sams waghu tast funny
