    Making chili out of premium beef seems a waste.

    Indeed. 99% of the point of chili is that you can use the lowest grade stuff and it doesn’t matter because it just cooks down and gets loaded with spices. Not that I would expect a multicentibillionaire to care about food economy

      It still most likely is the lowest grade stuff, just with bits of leftover Wagyu tossed in just so they can call it Wagyu chili.

        I would think that they would just reuse the hamburger patties like at Wendy’s.

        I initially thought it would be cheaper to buy the meat scraps from the vendor, but then again that probably already goes into the patties.
