Buffalo


If you hang around Courtney Gause, you hear about Buffalo all the time-- but have you ever seen one? Hayden Meadow is full of Bison bellowing, galloping, and rolling around in the dirt. I really enjoyed seeing the Bison, but not as much as I enjoyed eating them. We bought ground bison twice from a local grocer and grilled it over the open fire. Sweeter and subtler than beef, it was a real treat. The two people I wish could have shared the experience with us:

1) Brian Olsen, who would have most enjoyed cooking a unique, tasty meat outdoors.

2) Jonathan, who would have most enjoyed eating an unique, tasty meat (outdoors).

UPDATE: Check out this new article on the rise of buffalo as a meat praised by nutritionist, environmentalists, and chefs alike.
