PC Black Label Wagyu Beef Burgers [General]
2014 May 21
Exactly what I thought. I was interested in picking up some of the Wagyu burgers and they were on sale this weekend for $10, the same price as all the other PC burgers were on sale for.
For 4 frozen patties.
The Angus frozen patties are slightly smaller than the regular PC meat-like frozen burgers, but there are still 8 to a pack for $10.
So, no. I still haven't tried them yet.

Ok, they got me. PC marketing lured me in and I bought the Wagyu burgers. They were meh. I could not tell that they were any different from any other frozen burger. A Loblaws employee at the first store I went to said that they were sold out because people were "very intrigued" by them. Perhaps it should be noted that stock outs at Loblaws are widespread on many products.

Tree Pug, they got me too. We had them last night and our reaction was the same as yours. We hardly ever buy frozen burger patties so as you say, the marketing people got us too. Beware also the 550 mg sodium in each patty, for those of you watching your sodium I take.
I just walked up to the Superstore to get some brown sugar. They had none - the shelves were bare of both light and dark brown sugar. They used to run out of stock regularly when they changed their distribution system but for a while there it looked like they had fixed it. Now I'm not so sure. Brown sugar is a pretty basic thing.

FWIW, along these lines, I tried a "Kobe burger" from The Butchery a couple years ago and was pleasantly surprised. Of course, there will be Kobe definitions tossed around etc, but this was a good burger. It was definitely "different" than other burgers from there. Beefier possibly!?! No matter what it was, of how Kobe it was, it was good. I had a buddy over and after our first bite we looked at each other with a confirming nod and grunt. It was good. Surprisingly, I haven't been back to try it again. They were definitely made in-store and package in the typical wrap and frozen. I'd like to try the fresh version and may swing in there soon to see if they still have them. If not, and even if they do, I'll still snag a few of their Vera's burgers. Very good preformed, fresh patties.
