The 99-percent should feel fortunate to have Nancy on their side!

Whole Foods sells bison. I think they may sell emu as well. If bison costs $8.99 a pound, you should be able to get three or four burgers out of it.

I find ostrich dry like rabbit. Is emu similiar?

I buy it either at Whole Foods, or another market down the street. Same meat, it's pre-packaged. National Bison, maybe? Something like that.

I get 3 burgers out it. I could get 4 easily if I felt like it.

I have never eaten emu.

I had some stew with rhea (South American ostrich) in it, but it was spiced with a lot of stuff, and tasted a bit like turkey drumstick. It was in a stew, so it was not dry.

The dish was listed on the menu as "potaje de ñandú guazú" in a sort of rural place in Paraguay.

Only if it's overcooked. Emu (and ostrich for that matter) are nearly all dark meat, so they tend to be moist. An emu burger looks almost like bison, with a bit less fat.

I was at an upscale type restaurant over the holidays &
I had a craving for a hamburger....so I got one.
Even the burger at this place was expensive...
But it was the best burger I ever had.
I asked the waitress what made their burger soooo good?

She said their "secret" besides buying good meat
was that they serve a lot of filet mignons
and while preparing the steaks they trim the filet mignons.....
she said they take all the filet mignon trmmings and grind
that in with their hamburger meat and that is some of the flavor I was tasting.

that means the place i bought it made it wrong. no wonder it bellied up.it was a real dry ostrich burger.shame though since it was a ostrich themed restaurant. I regret not buying those egg shells I may never have another chance again.
