There are not many places you’ll find Akaushi beef other than Japan, but Guru Burgers & Crepes is one of those exclusive places. According to the restaurant, the only place outside of Japan you’ll find the Akaushi breed is Texas. The “superior quality” beef is one of the lowest cholesterol meats sold in the U.S., and Guru Burgers & Crepes uses it in their all-natural burgers, which come with a branded bun. Along with their three- to twelve-ounce burgers, the restaurant serves sweet and savory crepes that come stuffed with unexpected ingredients like fresh salmon, roasted banana puree, sun-dried tomato, or mango coconut sauce.

The restaurant makes everything from scratch and uses local and organic ingredients whenever possible. You can enjoy your local, organic meal with a glass of wine or seasonal draft. You can even take your beer home, because all of Guru’s beer is available to go!
