198131 Mon Nov 25 12:40:28 -0800 2002 12 18 Manhattan 0 1056798 I've been searching and searching for a restaurant that serves bison meat dishes or any butcher shops that sells bison meat without any luck. Could someone please enlighten me ? Mon Nov 25 12:40:28 -0800 2002 0 Andrew Chen 1 1056799 I've seen a bison vendor at the Union Square Farmers Market. Not sure which days I've seen it, though. Mon Nov 25 12:50:14 -0800 2002 1056798 0 Abbylovi 1 1056800 There is a guy who drives in on a big truck he at the Union Square Market he sells only bison meat ,don't know his schedule some times he there some times not call the market , Ithink they have a web site don't have it on hand . Mon Nov 25 13:00:33 -0800 2002 1056798 0 karlo 1 1056802 I've seen the guy selling Bison meat on Saturdays. Usually on the western side of the market. Mon Nov 25 13:04:26 -0800 2002 1056798 0 Margaret 2 1056863 Sorry, I meant eastern edge of the market. Tue Nov 26 09:36:21 -0800 2002 1056802 0 Margaret 1 1056803 You can buy it at Balducci's, Jefferson Market, Dean and Deluca, Gourmet Garage. All these places usually carry it. A really good mail-order source is Georgetown Farms (it was recommended to me by a Food and Wine magazine article). They have a website or you can call toll-free 1-888-EAT-LEAN. Mon Nov 25 13:07:59 -0800 2002 1056798 0 Ann Chantal 1 1056811 And once you find your bison meat you can check out the recipe in this issue of Gourmet magazine (which looks very yummy) for a bison standing rib.Also a Brooklyn Hts. place, Henry's End, 44 Henry St 718- 834-1776 does great things with seasonal game and may well be offering bison at this time. Enjoy. Mon Nov 25 14:17:26 -0800 2002 1056798 0 Faren 2 1056814 Thanks, but how do you cook bison meat anyway ? How do they serve it at Henry's end ? Something like Steaks, I would imagine ? Mon Nov 25 14:36:17 -0800 2002 1056811 0 Andrew Chen 3 1056829 For the most part it is cooked just like meat - except note that even when it is well cooked it tends to look red. At Henry's I believe it was a steak - but if they have it it could be prepared in any style that regular beef is cooked. Henry's also has other seasonal game which you might be interested in trying.I mentioned the current issue of Gourmet because it was a bison standing rib roast in (I believe an orange glaze) and they explained (at least in this preparation) the slight nuances in preparing a standing bison rib versus one of beef.Let us know how your bison comes out. Mon Nov 25 16:13:39 -0800 2002 1056814 0 Faren 4 1056849 careful not to dry out the meat - bison has less fat, and therefore can get tougher quicker! Becca Mon Nov 25 22:52:35 -0800 2002 1056829 0 Becca Benghiat 1 1056816 There is a bison farmer at the Union Sq Greenmarket, but I'm nto sure which days he is there. Mon Nov 25 14:43:18 -0800 2002 1056798 0 Jayask 1 1056818 Ground Buffalo can be found at Citarella off 75th and broadway. It is relatively inexpensive -- $6.99/lb -- and is great for chili, tacos, or even hamburgers. Bison is leaner than read meat and chicken, but higher in protein. A great substitute! I think they may also have buffalo hot dogs and buffalo steaks. Mon Nov 25 15:08:54 -0800 2002 1056798 0 JD 1 1056827 . Mon Nov 25 16:00:58 -0800 2002 1056798 0 Craig Greiner
