Hungry Buffalo
James Kersch likes his food to be healthy. As the owner of the Healthy Buffalo in Chichester he recently opened the Hungry Buffalo in Loudon, serving buffalo and other game meats known to have lower fat and hence less heart-clogging cholesterol. The menu is well-stocked with exotic game meats — everything from alligator to elk to wild boar. Specials may include kangaroo, rabbit or ostrich. These lower-fat-content proteins, especially buffalo (sourced from South Dakota), have to be cooked right and Kersch says that means low and slow. Meatballs are not beef but Misty Knoll chicken, and even the BBQ sauces are sugar-free. What beef he offers comes from the grass-fed Scottish Highlander beef at Miles-Smith Farm just down the road. Other health-inspired menu items include gluten-free and no-sugar desserts.
