My love for bison started at the age of 25 when I worked at the first Ted’s Montana Grill in Denver, CO. Although I was not much of a server, what I lacked in skill I tried to make up for in charm–at least that’s what I told myself. I guess my manager agreed because I was eventually chosen to be Ted Turner’s server when he came in one day to order his favorite bison short rib dish!
While I can’t say that I’d go to Ted’s Montana Grill anymore (sorry Ted), I do love a juicy bison burger, sans bun of course.
With all the work we’ve been doing to create Conscious Cleanse-friendly menu items at Zeal–Food for Enthusiasts, we’ve been thinking a lot about our “meat lovers” and realized a bison burger was a must.
And so the Bunless Bison Burger was born. We hope you enjoy! I’ll be as bold to say that they even rival Ted’s famous patties.

Your welcome TJ! Glad to have another person in the bison-loving club :)
Ever since I did the conscious cleans back in January, I’ve been eating bison once a week! We love it too!!
I’m glad it’s become one of your staples in your diet. It’s one of my go-to meats as well. Thanks for sharing with us Jen!
