I think you must have cooked it wrong. Bison really doesn't need a lot of seasoning...it is naturally very sweet meet. It needs to be cooked med rare or rare. Anything more and you will ruin the meat. It is like deer, there is NO fat so it dries out in a heartbeat. I am not a huge fan of burger, to me it's almost a waste of a beautiful and most perfect meat. I do agree selling it right next door to where their exhibit is, is beyond cruel. I'm sure they have some minimum wage kid making them who is thinking about their next date and how much they hate their job and could give a shit about how they cook your food. You need to go somewhere that knows how to cook it or go and buy a good 1 1/2" ribeye, add a little mesquite seasoning and throw it on your stove (yes, I said stove) over med heat for about 8 mins each side (less if they are thinner). Don't squish it down. Leave it alone. Don't stick it with a fork, when you turn it use tongs so you don't pierce the meat and lose the juices. Let it rest for a couple of minutes before you eat it. It also makes a difference if your bison was 100% grass fed or if it was finished on grain (grass is way better).
