Barbecue superfan says favorite dish is an entire alligator: 'Turkey of the swamp'
Fox News
A Utah man with a love of barbecuing said alligator has become his new favorite meat, calling it "the turkey of the swamp." He explained why he loves grilling this food.
Svendsen calls it "the turkey of the swamp" — and it costs up to $300 a piece. "Choice cuts of meat, primarily the tail and jaw, can be readily used in any recipe." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle at Fox News Digital.
He said he leaves the animal's head and feet on "for presentation" — and props open the jaws with a wood block while it's on the grill.
