Buffalo Eats

Everyone in Buffalo has their own favorite pizza place and most of the time what matters the most is where you grew up.  Alli and I both grew up in Orchard Park, and in Orchard Park you fell into one of 4 categories of Pizza lovers….  There was the southern tip near Boston, NY that [...]

For a long, long time now I have been told that I need to try DiBella’s.  In fact most people I’ve talked to have always made some “yum” noise immediately after I mentioned the name.  So while I had an idea of exactly what their subs were going to taste like, I still really wanted [...]

Now, I’ve been to WJ Morrisey’s before but that was before I began my journey into food blogging and sadly my first meal at this restaurant probably consisted of some sort of boring chicken sandwich.  That was years ago, and while I didnt remember the food to well, I did remember how much I loved [...]

Ok, ok, I know what you are thinking, “Oh look he decided to write about another Buffalo place that was on the Food Network.”  I’ll admit, however, that it’s nice to see local places featured nationally, but the fact that a 40 year old with wristbands and terrible hair decided to feature this local place [...]

UPDATE: We have since visited Pizza Junction, Grover’s and Lake Effect Diner.  Click on the link to see pictures of [...]

In celebration of Buffalo Eats friend and former writer Mike moving to New York City, a group of six of us met up for a big meal at Amherst’s own King & I.  We thought long and hard about what type of food and where to go for our big meal and we settled on [...]

Just a short time ago Tokyo Shanghai Bistro opened their doors on Elmwood Ave (near Toro) and I was fairly skeptical.  They offer an interesting mix of Japanese and Chinese and Sushi.  In my experience, a Chinese buffet with sushi is never a good idea, but walking into Toyko Shanghai I instantly knew this was nothing [...]
