Eight hundred pounds Of
buffalo, cooked campfire
style, was the piece de resist
ence last week when ! had
lunch with the Anteaters As
sociation at the National
Geological Park restaurant.
We've had foods from
both the top and the bottom
of the world this season."
said Gordon Leech, manager
of the restaurant. I'VE man
aged to get crab-eating seal
from the Antarctica, 200
pounds of wild geese from
Canada, 800 pounds Of buf-
falo from Oklahoma. 5000
pounds Of caribou ribs from
Alaska, and 1850 pheasants
from South Dakota"
Luncheon on this particu-
lar day started off with It'd
bits of caribou. followed by
buffalo broth, then came the
roast prime buffalo cache,
campfire style.
Chef Russell Deremer and
his helpers were up before
dawn putting the launches
on the grill to roast long
and slowly over an open fire
of oak and hickory logs.
They baste them constantly
with a spicy barbecue sauce.
With the buffalo was served
wild rice, baked potato, cur
rant jelly, green beans, and
a mixed salad. Dessert was a
choice of ice cream, assorted
cheese, or a chocolate eclair.
This week 5000 pounds of
caribou ribs were barbecued
over glowing oak Goals. The
ribs made the 4,000-mile
journey from Nunivak Island.
Alaska via surface vessel and
refrigerated truck before
reaching the zoos kitchen.
Chef Deremer, who has
probably cooked more strange
birds, beasts and reptiles
than any other follower of
Escoffier alive, prepared the
ribs in 2-pound servings,
using his favorite barbecue
recipe. The ribs were OBJ
tanned from the Department
of Interiors Bureau of In
dian Affairs. Mr.. Leech said.
and the purchase price goes
to benefit the 49th States
Indians and Eskimos.
AS a group the Anteat-
ers are unique in Washington
luncheon circles they pay
no dues, will tolerate no
speeches and don't talk much!
Their group is composed of
Government officials, men,
bers of the armed forces,
business executives, explorers,
baseball players. And, they
all love wild game food.
The last luncheon of the
