We’ll celebrate the cultural, spiritual, ecological, and nutritional importance of the buffalo; figure out the logistics of getting buffalo from the prairie to the plate and build connections among like-minded folks working on this issue. There will be special, hands-on content for school chefs focused on incorporating buffalo into school meal menus and preparing recipes with various cuts of buffalo.
