Food Porn: Prime 490

I’ve realized that I have an almost “Single White Female” style love with Local Restaurant Week, some might even call it obsessive.  I’ve mentioned it more times on this blog then I’ve mentioned any single restaurant or food type.  For 2009′s fall offering, Alli and I decided to finally try out Prime 490, a restaurant [...]

Food Porn: Lagniappes French Quarter Cafe

***NOTE: Since this article was posted, Lagniappes had moved down the street and changed their name to “Lagniappes French Quarter Cafe”.  The dinning room is now much larger but the menu has stayed the same. On the 250th birthday of one of the greatest men in history (Arthur Guiness), I decided to celebrate by going [...]

Contribute 2009

With the economy getting hit pretty hard over the last year, it’s safe to say that local businesses have no doubt been stuggling.  If you haven’t noticed on our website, I strongly encourage going out to eat at local establishments, and with the exception of a few national chains on our website, we try to [...]

Food Porn: Metzgers Pub

Every other Sunday, I check my local newspaper and re-discover the lovely Clipper Magazine.  If you are not familiar, the Clipper is known for its large selection of coupons to various restaurants around Buffalo.  It’s helped a low budget blog like ourselves visit several restaurants and not go completely broke.  Most notably the Clipper has [...]

Buffalo Foodies: Katebits (aka The Willful Caboose)

For those of you who haven’t gotten the chance to enjoy the Buffalo Sabres blog The Willful Caboose, I feel bad for you.  You’ve been missing out on the hilarious musings of Katebits, a newer Buffalo-ian (by way of Minnesota) and Sabres fan.  Aside from her blogging about Crunchy and Pommerdoddles (if you read her [...]

This evening I was invited to a special preview night for Local Restaurant Week and I am now more excited for this week then I was before (which I thought was impossible).  From September 21st to 28th over 120 restaurants will be serving dinners and lunches for $20.09 (either individually or for 2).  I can’t emphasize [...]

Buffalo Foodies: Chae Hawk

Chae Hawk is an up and coming Hip Hop artist in the Buffalo music scene, here is how his Myspace page describes him: Hip Hop may be waning in the face of too much emphasis on making a statement, too many imitators and wannabes, too much violence and not enough artistic drive to deliver quality.

Food Porn: Doctor Bird Caribbean Rasta-Rant

My previous experience with Carribean cuisine didn’t feel “authentic”.  Don’t get me wrong, our meal was really good and the restaurant (Curly’s) had an upscale “feel” that I wasn’t expecting (no offense to Lackawanna).  But what I really have been dying for was the exact opposite.  I wanted a secret hidden place that is closer [...]

Local Restaurant Week is BACK!

From September 21st to September 28th, various restaurants around Buffalo, NY (and the surrounding suburbs) will be participating in the Local Restaurant (discount) Week. If you don’t remember, back in March Buffalo Eats cash in on this deal and visited several restaurants that were participants (Panaro’s, Tempo, and Black & Blue Steahkouse and Crab). Participating [...]

Food Porn: Zillycakes

I think it is well documented that I love desserts, especially a high quality dessert.  Before I started this website I never was obsessed with sugary treats, but something has happened to me over the course of the last 7 months.  I now love cake’s, ice cream, chocolates, and pies more then ever.  Basically you [...]
