If you are looking for a unique dining experience, try Western specialties such as elk steak, buffalo burgers, bison tongue, rattlesnake, or Rocky Mountain Oysters. These are just some of the interesting and unique dishes worth trying while in the Denver area for a ski or summer vacation, a convention (like the upcoming Democratic National Convention), the annual National Western Stock Show, or another occasion. Here are two of the most famous restaurants where diners enjoy these delicacies.
What are Rocky Mountain Oysters?
Oysters in the Rockies? No, it’s really not seafood. These are really buffalo bull testicles that are usually peeled, coated in flour, and deep-fried. When in the Rockies, this is one thing to try (makes for conversation and gives life-long bragging rights). They taste a bit like chicken but are softer.
Yep, that’s it
