This past January, Alli & I got to enjoy a lovely dinner at the Snooty Fox, an upscale place right near my work. Located right on Delaware (across from the Mansion, and near Founding Fathers), Snooty Fox is in an older building but with a renovated interior looks gorgeous. What I knew about the place is [...]

Down the street from my work is a lovely BBQ place called Fat Bob’s (its kinda hidden away). Since it’s hidden, it hasn’t been our #1 location. Normally I have been pretty “eh” towards the food there. Its good but nothing ever blew me away, I have also never been a huge fan of BBQ. [...]

One of the first Bizzle Idols (on my first website Bizzle Bros) we ever did was Anthony Bourdain, writer and a host of The Travel Channel’s No Reservations. The idea of the show is to go from city to city (country to country even) and try out the most famous restaurants and meals from said [...]

I had the privilege of going to the Spot Coffee for my lunch earlier this month with Alli. We decided to go to the Chippewa location because it is a lot closer to my work and driving down Delaware is much faster then driving down Elmwood. I’ve never been a huge Spot Coffee fan, in [...]

Every year on Christmas Day my brother Tom and I go to the Milennium Hotel (near the Galleria Mall) to visit our Dad. And every year (the last 4) we eat lunch at the Bar inside (I didn’t know the name until I just googled it). Normally we get some normal bar/pub type food, the [...]

In Buffalo,NY there are several food establishments that are known for being “Buffalo staples”. Occasionally this creates huge debates within the community. Does Anchor Bar have the best wings in Buffalo? Hell no, but that’s just me. Clearly to me, Duff’s is the obvious choice, but everyone could say the same thing for the pizza/wing [...]

The Gin Mill is a bar/restaurant in Ellicottville that I’ve always seen, but never went into. Normally this place is packed with drinkers and everyone who was skiing at Hollimont until the hill closed (at 4:15pm). But Alli and I arrived in Ellicottville earlier then normal this weekend, and were able to get in and [...]

UPDATE: Since this article, the owners of the Falafel Bar restaurants have closed their Allentown location. They currently have their Sheridan Dr location open in Amherst. In December of 2008, I finally tried the Falafel Bar on Allen, right down the street from my work. I decided to play it safe, and instead of eating [...]
