Ted's Montana Grill
Ted's Montana Grill is one of the largest U.S. restaurant companies to feature bison on its menu. The company was founded by media entrepreneur and environmentalist Ted Turner and restaurateur George McKerrow Jr. as a for-profit effort to stop the extinction of the American bison. The first Ted's Montana Grill opened in January 2002 in Columbus, Ohio, U.S.[1] Today it has over 50 restaurants in 19 states. Its first Montana location is set to open in Bozeman in June 2008.[2]
Chris Raucci is executive chef. All bison served is National Bison Association-certified; the menu includes several other kinds of meats and vegetables. As part of the restaurant's unusual but aggressive approach to environmentalism, it "re-invented the paper straw" (not produced in the United States since 1970) to avoid using plastic.
