October 17th, 2006 - Bison: Another reason to eat at local restaurants
I believe I’ve mentioned before that while not a vegetarian, I will only eat organic meat which pretty much means I’m a vegetarian in practice especially when eating out. When my parents were visiting, they took us out to eat. Eric hoped for The Red Robin, a new chain in town that has fantastic burgers. Every one is offered with a Gardenburger or a Boca burger, too (for an additional charge). My parents have one in their neck of the woods and weren’t really interested. So I suggested a local restaurant that they’ve taken us to a couple times, which also has good burgers.
To my delight, they also offer a bison burger from a local farm!!! I’m not sure if it’s the one I see on the highway, but generally speaking, bison have to be raised on a pasture so I felt comfortable eating this one. I wish I could remember the farm name so I could look it up and see if it is organic or not. But at least it was *local* meat.
