Buffalo Eats

I have lived in Orchard Park my entire life, and for the most part, I never paid attention to the yearly Quaker Days festival.  A “festival” filled with arts and crafts, old ‘classic’ cars, an ice cream social, and a “town dance” never jumped out at me as something fun to do in town.  We [...]

I don’t know how we ended up at Kentucky Greg’s Hickory Pit; we were driving around aimless one night and realized we were near by.  I’ve been hearing only good things via some of our twitter followers lately about Kentucky Greg’s and I was eager to see if it lived up to their praises.

This Monday, July 27th, will be the premiere of No Reservations “Rust Belt Episode” that will feature Anthony Bourdain travels to Baltimore, Detroit and our own Buffalo (If thats the first time you’ve heard this I would be shocked).  There is an awesome write up in the Buffalo News today by Alan Pergament.  Check it [...]

Somehow I’ve managed to live in Buffalo my entire life and go without having an amazing Beef on Weck experience.  I never was a huge Roast Beef fan actually; sure I’ve eaten it many times at parties and obviously my Mom has made it for dinner, but it just never was one of my favorite [...]

My friends and I have been dying to try some Caribbean cuisine, and in Buffalo there aren’t many options.  After doing some internet research (aka searching Urbanspoon) and asking some friends and family, we settled on Curly’s. Located on Ridge Rd, near the gorgeous Basilica church in Lackawanna/South Buffalo, they serve a collection of fine [...]

I came across this video while typing in Taste of Buffalo, I think everyone should do themselves a favor and watch.  His name is Douglas McCausland, who according to his twitter account is “an average YouTuber, trying to get popular on YouTube.”  So far he’s doing pretty good, please check out his thoughts on 2009′s [...]

Last month, we knocked another restaurant off the Food Odyssey list.  A friend of mine recently told me all about the lovely brunch specials that our offered at Betty’s.  However, considering I am only in the area when I am working, I only had a chance to try out their lunch menu. Overall, while we [...]

Twitter is quickly becoming one of the most popular social networks on the internet.  How long this medium will last is debate-able but the speed of spreading information is undoubtedly the fastest around.  You can find out what specials a restaurant has for that day or that hour.  You can find out about events, late [...]

So like Donnie, I am always looking for a good slice of pizza.  I find that pizza can be put into two different categories: New York and Chicago.  Most pizza around here follows the Chicago mold – thicker crust (not quite deep dish), and loaded with cheese and sauce.  New York style obviously is a [...]

With over 200 options, we obviously left the Taste of Buffalo on Day 1 without trying everything we wanted….but I didn’t think I would end up heading back for another round.  However, on Sunday the weather was awesome and a few friends wanted to meet up…so we decided to go back and sample a few [...]
