Description

In this episode of The Meat Dudes Podcast, we sit down with Desi Cecali, founder of the Triple Crown Steak Challenge — one of the most research-driven steak competitions in the world. Desi has poured years of scientific study into the Wagyu breed, analyzing genetics, fat composition, and eating quality to better understand what makes a truly great steak.

We dive into the data behind Wagyu, how the Triple Crown Steak Challenge is changing the way we evaluate beef, and why Desi believes science and transparency are key to the future of the industry. If you’re curious about what sets Wagyu apart — beyond marbling — this conversation is packed with insight.
