Eight bucks a pound....kinda pricey. I've had buffalo burgers just once but they were overcooked, so I really don't know much about them. Had moose and venison(great!) but never elk. I do know that cake is rockin'!! Looks great! Congrats on the cute kid too

sad to say the burgers were lean & bland but that's probably from the michigan commercially raise product.i'll get more from friends in the dakotas that raise them & spice it up a bit.

Buffalo is gonna be a lean meat. Add some EVOO for moisture, or cheat some sausage into it. I also like it with oregano, garlic and powdered onion -- any or all -- mixed in the meat beforehand.

We did some elk burgers at work a couple of years ago and they were very lean and sort of bland tasting. My friend who also killed the elk made the patties up and I am sure he did nothing else other than a little salt and pepper. I would definitely try something different now that I know what it taste and grills like.

Adding sausage is about the best thing, in my redneck low-tech opinion. I like sage sausage. Sausage improves venison patties, elk, and buffalo when it comes to high-temp cooking or smoking. It even tastes great mixed with beef in hamburger patties. Plus, since you are really after the fat in the sausage, you can buy the cheapest chit you can find if you want, as it has higher fat content. I use JD, tho, rest his soul.

There is nothing better than an all-meat half and half fatty of sausage and one of those other meats. I like to make a half-dozen and freeze them longer-term, then refrigerate them as needed and use them as "cold cuts" right out of the fridge for sammies.

buffalo burgers are everywhere around here (Alberta, Canada), and it's cheap... funny how that works, we pay much more for stuff like steaks, roasts and brisket up here, but the more rare stuff we pay less. I think its because of the Alberta beef hype train... which is a bunch of crap. I have had good and bad beef from both sides of the border.

As for the buffalo... you will be much happier if you throw some sausage in with it, it is a lean meat.

Now if you want to try some really tasty meat, try to get your hands on some cougar! Oh man, cut it into strips, bread it and throw it in some oil in a pan and you have yourself a little piece of heaven.

I liked the buffalo/bison meat we got around here, that stuff was good. I like that it was leaner than beef.

I like the cake, very nice.
