Sing along! ♪ Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam ♫ ... and the deer and the antelope play; where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the sky is not cloudy all day. ♫

Yes we do break into song occasionally around here. It's good for you and it warms the soul.

What better song to sing than Home on the Range when enjoying an all (North) American buffalo burger?

And yes, this is more accurately called a bison burger. For the record we are talking about an American buffalo (bison), and not an Asian buffalo. There used to be just a few American buffalo still alive, but now they are no longer endangered, and enterprising ranchers are raising bison as a leaner alternative to beef.

Have you ever eaten bison?

Imagine a really lean, deep red, grass-fed beefy beef. If you like the taste of a good steak or beef burger, you'll love buffalo.

Ground buffalo is not that expensive, and is readily available at good supermarkets. We got ours at Whole Foods. There are also several online purveyors who sell it.

You can cook buffalo much the way you would lean, grass-fed beef. For this burger, we decided to stick with the Western cowboy theme and season the burger with plenty of sage and smoky barbecue sauce.
