"You know, the Wild Game Dinner gets bad press," laughs Tom Polasky, an avid fisherman, deer hunter, and Parkside attendee. "People call it the 'Kill It and Grill It Buffet' and joke that if you hit anything on your way to church, bring it and we'll eat it, but these guys are more like gourmet cooks. They have their own cookware specifically for the dishes they make, and one guy makes wild salmon with rice and capers and a special cream sauce," beams Tom. This year, Tom will bring venison stuffed peppers that his wife, Heather, prepares with the bounty from one of Tom's hunts. "The first time we did this event, I wasn't sure what to expect, but this whole buffet is really great food."
