Wild Game

At the Burger Bash at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, there were tons of creative and delicious burgers from lamb goat cheese burgers to horseradish and crispy onion burgers. However, the most interesting by far was the Love Shack's Wild Love burger.

Chef Tim Love combined elk meat with foie gras to make a patty that was incredibly juicy and unlike any of the other burgers at the event. For a nice balance of bittersweet flavors to contrast the rich meat mixture, it was topped with arugula and huckleberry jam.

It was definitely one of my top burgers, and I was surprised because I'd never had elk before! How about you?

Would You Eat an Elk Burger?

Yes

No

I enjoyed every bite of the 2010 Chefs' Holidays cooperative dinner, which featured five courses from talented California chefs. But I might have been most pumped about trying Matt Bolton's venison chop. I'm definitely an adventurous eater. Living in the city, however, I don't have wild game too often. Hence, anytime I spot elk, boar, venison, or even alligator on a menu, I spring for it. Still, less-than-daring diners might be turned off by the thought of eating game or wild meat. How do you feel about it?
