  • Kobe skewers

    Signal
    “Conde Nast Traveler: "You can definitely go safe here, with faultless Kobe skewers..." -- writer-asserted, independent, names the venue. FLAG: profile_pass.refute_signal()'s own docstring documents that a prior worker found this venue's historical "Kobe beef" language independently REFUTED by two critics as Oregon-raised Wagyu -- no such refuted row currently exists in signals for this venue_id (may have been cleaned up, or the refutation was never actually written). This CN Traveler review, dated after that refutation would have applied, still uses "Kobe" language uncritically -- either the refutation needs re-verifying against current sourcing, or press is perpetuating a mislabeling. Added as claimed/press-attributed pending that re-check, NOT treated as confirmed Kobe.”
