Exotic Burgers
Fuddruckers’ game burgers, served on a wheat bun. Depending on the restaurant, the choice has included bison, elk, ostrich and wild boar. They are leaner than beef and cook quickly, so they are best kept simple at the fixings bar. A rare chance to try game at a casual chain.
The story
Fuddruckers had sold the odd game-meat burger for years, but in 2010 it turned them into a line called Fudds Exotics and rolled it out one animal at a time. Buffalo came first, in May, and became the best-selling new product launch in the company’s history. Elk followed in July, wild boar in September and ostrich in November, all marketed as free-range meat raised without antibiotics or hormones.

About Fuddruckers
Philip Romano opened Freddie Fuddruckers in a converted bank in San Antonio, Texas, in 1979, because he believed the world needed a better hamburger. The odd name came from Fudpucker World Airways, an old in-joke among pilots about an imaginary airline with steam-powered planes.
A few dozen restaurants, mostly in the US, with single branches in Canada and Mexico.
