In the case of the elk, I found it to be slightly gamier to buffalo but not that much. If we had to use a 1 to 10 scale, 10 being lamb, buffalo (sausage) would be a 4 and elk (sausage) would be a 5. Notice, since sausages might have more spices and other ingredients than burgers, these references might be skewed, specially considering the buffalo sausage had basil and peppers. Having said that, there is one place I have in my queue of places to visit where I have been told have elk burgers - The Locus in Main Street, Vancouver. The other place I was interested in visiting some time ago was Stormin' Norman's Spirit Grill (in Commercial Drive), mainly because, in addition to elk, they have other "interesting" burgers, including ostrich. However, "was" is the keyword here as it has been closed. Ouch. Hi shokutsu,

I had lamb tonight which is known for its "game-yness", but wondered how this compared to the game-y flavor of elk, as I've never had it. Probably hard to describe, but if you could, would appreciate hearing from you.
