Chef’s Table

Bison or Buffalo?: It is now generally accepted that the preferred term is “bison” as opposed to “buffalo”. This isn’t just a linguistic preference; it is a more accurate description of the species. Furthermore, it prevents confusion in an international market: only bison come from North America.
