Lots going on in the diner this week! Catering, catering and more.....catering. From weddings to simple breakfasts, we've done it all this week. Thanks to our friends at Frontiere Natural meats here in Longmont, CO, we got to play around with some Bison....well, the meat, not the animal. It was totally moist and yummy and we will be featuring him on the lunch menu this Friday! According to the USDA:
Bison is a deeper red color before cooking because there is no marbling (white flecks of fat within the meat muscle). Bison is said to have a sweeter, richer flavor than beef and has less fat and fewer calories than beef.

According to USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS),100 grams of raw bison (separable lean only) contains 109 calories and 1.8 grams fat. The same amount of raw beef (separable lean only, Choice grade) contains 291 calories, and 24 grams fat.


I love red meat and am going to enjoy getting more into my diet without the downsides of beef.....though, gotta admit, they both taste delicious!!!
