My butcher has gotten buffalo cuts in FINALLY. Been over a month. Same with
whole foods, not a store had any!

That all changed this morning. I picked up buffalo medallions, rib eyes,
ground meat and frozen burgers.

It feels great to be back in buffalo!!!

My butcher supplies D'Artagnan free-range buffalo cuts. Product of Canada.
http://www.tinypic.com/4yz2yv5.jpg

Free-range taste rich and with a flavor unlike regular beef. No hormones,
or antibiotics, etc. Have yourself a bloody rare burger without fear of e-
coli or lysteria.

Carmen Creek, a frozen buffalo burg supplier for Whole Foods underwent a
system change. Instead of fresh shaped burgers in 3-burger x 2 stacks
cryopacks, they now fast freeze each burger separately with the typical
paper separator in a non cryovack 3-burger x 2 stack bag. Doesn't resemble
the original product and some flavor is lost. I'll do more business with my
butcher for the fresh ground meat packs and press my own burgs.

Steve,

I use a cheap-o hamburger press to shape burgers. Once they're cooking, I
don't spatula-press the meat down. I think that's what he meant.

My buffalo burgers are once-flipped and plump, rare and juicy!

He definitely also said not to press them before cooking.

Actually the bison (No. American bovid) is also a buffalo in that it's
simply a different genus of bovid.

M-W

1buf�fa�lo

1 : any of several wild bovids: as a : WATER BUFFALO b : CAPE BUFFALO
c (1) : any of a genus (Bison) of bovids ; especially : a large shaggy-
maned No. American bovid (B. bison) that has short horns and heavy
forequarters with a large muscular hump and that was formerly abundant
on the central and western plains -- compare WISENT (2) : the flesh of
the buffalo used as food

I've eaten Buffalo burgers exactly once. Big disappointment.

I ordered the buffalo stew at a fancy Winnipeg eatery, first and last
time.

I think it may depend on where you get your buffalo (bison) burger.
The best I ever had was at Ruby's restaurant on the highway north of
the north rim of the Grand Canyon. The worst was at a restaurant in
Westlake Village, California. The difference was the range the bison
fed on. Ruby's buffalo burgers were from bison that fed locally on
the high plains north of the Grand Canyon. The Westlake Village
buffalo burgers came from bison raised on Catalina Island off the
California coast. At least that was the explanation given me by a
local chef.
