Here in Cow Hill, I sometimes get bison steaks at Wal-Mart. It pains
me to engage with the evil empire, but they have it and the local
grocery doesn't. If I time it right, I can pick it up at a reduced
price when it reaches the sell-by date. I like them either grilled or
pan seared with strong flavors like ancho chiles or chipotles.

Bison is also featured on the menus of several noted area restaurants.
Lonesome Dove, for example:

Tim Love (chef at Lonesome Dove) appeared on Iron Chef America last
year and bested Bobby Flay. I've eaten at his place once, and would
gladly do so again. The venison was so good that D wanted to buy me a
gun and drive me to the woods with instructions not to return without
Bambi's whole family, slaughtered, dressed, butchered, and ready for
the grill.

Dean Fearing's new place at the Dallas Ritz Carlton lists bison on the
menu, as well. I've never eaten his grub before, but his reputation
aroun these parts is huge. Here's a link to the menu:

Somewhere in there he offers a "buffalo" cheese steak sandwich.

It just crazy enough it might work.
