I was just thinking about it from an Alton Brown-ish perspective.
Alton would never grind up a Kobe steak! Perish the thought!
Spidra, I honestly don't know what answer you're expecting to hear. If you disapprove of the sandwich, don't buy it.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

I was just about to say something similar...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
On an unrelated tack, the point of the sandwich is clearly to pick ingredients by their high cost
No, it's to pick the best ingredients irrespective of cost. There's a difference.
It really could go either way, right? If the idea is "let's make the most expensive _____ EVAH and get a bunch of write-ups" its probably the former.

If I only had a brain...
I'm sure you don't grind up Kobe steak to make Kobe burger -- you grind up all the Kobe cuts you can't sell as steaks or roasts.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What Betsy Said. Even in Kobe, the cows (Cows!) have hooves and horns, and meat closer to them.

No but he could give a scientific rationale for why someone might.
eta And I think someone did it on Iron Chef America recently, so he had reason to.

Do you want some off the hoof, or some off the tusk?

Quote from the sandwich creator:
He said: "I wanted to say 'If money was no object, what would you put in a sandwich?'.
"It wasn't just a case of using the most expensive produce, the flavours are exceptional, they marry really well.
"You get absolutely amazing taste from every level as opposed to a taste explosion."
Whether or not you believe him is a whole separate issue.
