Even in Canada some Americans bitch that our beef tastes different. I've never found any difference either way.

Sourcing was tough in the beginning - most of the beef here is really subpar. You can't order ground beef (minced they call it here) and expect any type of quality. Almost everything is frozen, unless you pay a premium for "chilled" beef from Australia or New Zealand. They produce some nice beef and that's what I use, grinding everything on premises. I grilled some Wagyu Ribeye steaks from Australia a few weeks ago at my partner's birthday party and it was some of the best meat I've ever had - but it cost $75 a pound!
The rest of the stuff comes mostly from Europe, although I'm using Saputo mozzarella from Argentina - it all comes frozen.
