Fuddruckers Celebrates Exotic Meat

AUSTIN, Texas Fuddruckers is offering a range of exotic-meat burgers to satisfy the adventurous palates of the non-hunters among us. The Fudds Exotics, as theyre called collectively, include buffalo burgers, elk burgers, wild boar burgers and ostrich burgers. Less exotic but also in the category are salmon filets.

The burger chain inaugurated Fudds Exotics in May with the introduction of buffalo burgers, which became the best-selling new-product rollout in the companys history. In July, customers can sink their teeth into elk burgers; September will bring wild-boar burgers; and November is ostrich-burger time.
