Buffaloed

From the New York Times' Dining & Wine section is an article on buffalo meat. What does this have to do with Indiana? With Anderson, Indiana? Well, someone raises buffalo just a bit east of Elwood. The article says that the industry is growing and may have a good future:

Nick Ottomanelli has been watching buffalo muscle in on prime beef at the three Ottomanelli Brothers butcher shops in Manhattan and Queens his family owns. “Prime beef sales have gone down 8 to 10 percent,” Mr. Ottomanelli said. “Bison took off, and sales have increased 15 percent over the past year.” The change is especially striking because a buffalo rib-eye steak sells for $18.95 a pound at his shops, while the prime beef rib-eye is $16.95.
