...(ie, there was never an empty wine glass the whole night, which might account for the 60 bottles of wine consumed over the night). The appetizers served during tail hour were also out of this world....a quail breast wrapped in...

on Sundays. For something unique, the grassfed bison roast I got from Lindner Bison (used their slow-roast recipe)is out of this world. Also at the SM 3rd Street farmer’s market. www.lindnerbison.com. Wasn’t as...

In my experience, the appeal varies a lot based on diet. We’ve had good luck from mail order from Eight 0’Clock Ranch. They are based in New York, so not local. Excellent quality and well priced. Also, Slow Food Los...

I got a pack of ground beef from Prather Ranch at the Ferry Plaza a couple of weeks ago, and it was the most flavorful ground beef I’ve ever had. Initially, I was skeptical about prepacked ground beef, and I had been very...

fried asparagus with ranch dressing and a grilled chicken salad. The asparagus had a pretty crunchy batter, maybe a bit heavy but the asparagus still came through. The grilled chicken salad was fine .... chicken moist. Waitresses...

In Brooklyn, the cheapest source for organic meat is probably the Park Slope Food Coop. They just started carrying Nieman Ranch and a couple other brands of organic, hormone-free meat. In the summer, they’ll have...

The good news: I know where you can get grass-fed beef in New York. The bad news: it’s in Brooklyn at the members-only Park Slope Food Co-op. They sell Niman Ranch beef and pork, which is grass-fed, w/o hormones and...

in a similar vein to River Cafe (restaurants in parks), you could try The Ranche (http://www.crmr.com/theranche/ ) which is down south in Fish Creek Park. If you want something slightly more casual, the Reader Garden Cafe might...

to find things at Brava that are really really well done, the Gnocchi and the Polenta come to mind. Some of the staff there are really knowledgeable, some not so much. I was suprised to see no duck, rabbit, elk or bison entries...

Velvet at the Grand 608 1st ST SW Check it out for http://www.crmr.com/velvet/index.php Same owner as Cilantro, Ranche and Divino I’d classify the food as "The Ranche meets Muse/Rouge" Elk, Bison, Duck everywhere on the menu,...

If you want locally raised livestock, try Kathy Lindner who sells grass fed bison at the Hollywood Farmers market on Ivar on Sunday mornings. There’s also a guy at the market who sells grass-fed beef, but I think he also...

There is fair amount of bison farmed (ranched?) near me so I can get several kinds of bison cheese. Recently I had a great buffalo smoked gouda that was amazing just melted onto baguette. Also the lovely little bistro in my...

Just outside of Maple Creek on the way to Fort Walsh is a new "ranch turned winery" that has been getting some attention. I haven’t been there but have driven by (it was closed the day I went) and have heard good things. If...

's (bad circa-1990 ambience and cooking’s all over the map), same thing could be said for John Bozeman Bistro (bison and thai noodles and feels like a food court menu). Plonk is a loud and mostly annoying bar scene with...
