This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Why they fuck would you take one of the most expensive sources of beef (Wagyu) and make chili out of it?
Because it sounds nice? Literally, zero chance that is actually wagyu. It would be inedible due to the fat.
Wagyu is still just a type of cow and if you aren’t eating expensive graded cuts it’s not that much more expensive than angus. It’s still pointless to eat in a chili as the whole advantage of it is the marbling
I suppose you are correct. I took it to mean wagyu steak. They could just use the scraps from trimming the steaks they give to worthy people.
Also not all cows end up being graded super high so they have plenty of “low quality” Wagyu
Imagine living your entire life in prison and then you are murdered for your meat, only for some schlub with a neck beard to say, "eh... Kinda mid" about you.
Getting criticized in life for being too fat and in death for being too lean, just failing at everything
It's likely American "wagyu" - i.e. unregulated "premium" beef
