BD: You always have to cook with a little love for food preparation and finish the dish! Q: What can each guest expect when they dine at your restaurant? BD: When you come to Grasslands, we will do anything to make you a raving fan. If you don’t find what you want on the menu, just let us know and we will get it for you. Q: What's your favorite carnivore dish and why? BD: Our brisket because it is slow-smoked, then we capture the au jus and put it back in the brisket for the strongest beef flavor you will ever taste.
