Crunch down on one of these thin, crispy kettle chips and you are in for a shock.

When I stopped in at Journeyman Meat Co. in Healdsburg recently to buy some of its very fine sausages, I also happened to pick up a bag of Snake River Farms Wagyu Beef Tallow Kettle Chips. Smart move of the store to put them right by the register.

One one side of the bone is a super tender filet mignon; on the other side is a more toothsome New York strip.

I had a chance to try this massive steak ($43) sourced from Double R Ranch in Washington State. It’s aged 28 days to concentrate its flavor. And it cooks up quite juicy.

How do I best like to enjoy steak?
