There seems to be a small group of ‘Buffalo Eats’ haters out there so we decided to write a little statement regarding this blog…
Buffalo Eats is purely a amateur foodie blog; it’s really just for fun, we aren’t trying to be top food critics nor would we ever pretend that is what we are. We are really just a couple of kids in our early/mid twenties who have grown up our whole lives in Buffalo. We love Buffalo and we love food, that’s it, nothing more. We have no training in this area and we are not now nor will we ever be experts. Our only goal is to expand our own experiences in the Buffalo restaurant scene and write about it. We aren’t English or journalism majors, we don’t know all the fancy terminology, but so what? All we are doing is simply writing our thoughts, and if we get a few people who read it and decide to go try out that restaurant, well then that’s awesome. If we can help promote local Buffalo businesses, fantastic. If we can get someone to try out and support a local restaurant, if we can get someone to try a new dish and expand their food experiences instead of going to Applebee’s again on a Friday night, well, that is more than we could even ask for.
So to all the people who feel the need to write nasty comments…why? Why do you care so much? There are millions and millions of blogs out there doing the same thing as us…simple people who just want to write about what they enjoy…who are you to criticize us? We aren’t changing the world here, we are just writing a blog. There is no reason to rip us apart just because we are not food experts. Again, we are just regular people writing about the different types of food you can get around Buffalo in an effort to help promote the local scene. Stop putting down people who are trying to help the local Buffalo economy by supporting local business and local food products.
If you don’t like the blog for whatever reason, OK, don’t read it. If you have suggestions and constructive criticism on how we can make this blog better, we welcome your thoughts. But if you really are so offended that you need to write a nasty comment, don’t bother, it will be deleted before it even becomes public. Take your negativity elsewhere and stop being a Buffalo hater.
Thank you to everyone else who supports us, supports good food, and supports Buffalo.

How sad… don’t let them get to you. I know I personally enjoy reading about your little food adventures. I’ve lived in Buffalo for 24 (out of 30) years of my life, and I still don’t know everything Buffalo has to offer. It’s nice to see what others find and what they thought.
I’ll continue to read for as long as you guys write
Thank you so much!
I enjoy your blog immensely.
However haters are infest the internet, there really is no way to rid yourselves of them, except to deny comments on your site.
Just take a look at most any website that allow comments, from yours to Buffalo Rising to Sabres blogs and on and on.
Keep eating!

keep up the good work donnie. only a few things come to mind when hearing about people and their nasty comments. they have tried the same thing and failed. they have no clue what they are talking about, and lead really boring lives to take the time to bash someone else for promoting the good in buffalo.
Why anyone would “hate” on this blog is beyond me.
I lived in Buffalo while attending Buffalo State (Dec ’08 grad) and have been in Calgary the past 5 months. I do miss Buffalo and enjoy reading your blog on a semi-regular basis.
Keep up the good work!
