Buffalo Eats

Japanese food, especially sushi and rolls, is by far one of my favorite cuisines.  I love the fresh, light taste of the delicately seasoned raw fish and I can’t get enough of it.  When I crave it  the only place I go in Buffalo is Kuni’s.    Kuni’s is a small restaurant with a unique atmosphere [...]

I have been wanting to head to Sample for a dinner ever since learning about Chef Adam Goetz’s unique concept.  Chef Goetz, who is one of the Nickel City Chefs, turns out miniature versions of fine dining entrees and some of Buffalo’s favorites in his small, cozy restaurant in the heart of Allentown.  Local Restaurant [...]

Most beer fans are very familiar with the Saranac line of beers.  Saranac brews are produced by the Matt Brewing Company which is out of Utica, NY.  I have been a fan of many of their beers throughout the years, but the Pomegranate Wheat and Adirondack Lager really have won me over.  Since I enjoy [...]

All my friends (well anyone who has even eaten anything with me) know that I am, for the lack of a better phrase, a hot sauce freak.  I love hot sauce on just about anything and everything that can handle it.  I had long sworn by Franks Red Hot but within the past few years [...]

So yes, I am writing on yet another wheat style beer, however I have not been shy in admitting that they are by far my favorite type of beer.  I promise the next Beer Porn will branch out to another variety and style of beer, but for now, deal with it and give in to [...]

***UPDATE: Since this article was written, Juniper has sadly closed their doors for good. I’s sure many of you have driven by Juniper multiple times and not even noticed.  I myself was fairly unaware of the Elmwood Ave restaurant (about halfway between the “Elmwood strip” and Allentown) until my friend began working there a few [...]

This article marks the start of what I am debuting as Beer Porn.  As I’m sure many of you are, most food lovers are also passionate about truly flavorful and unique beers.  As mentioned in many of my earlier posts, I love trying craft beers I have never had before.  Sometimes I end up finding [...]

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 [...]

I was sitting in Starbucks working on my thesis (aka staring at my computer screen and checking out facebook) when lunch time hit.  Since I was on Niagara Falls Boulevard, I figured I would go to one of my old standbys, Moes Southwest Grill, for a burrito and some chips and salsa.  Shot a call [...]

I don’t know what it is, but no other type of food puts me in a good party mood than some Mexican delicacies.  Perhaps it’s the tequila, perhaps it’s the refreshing Mexican brews, or perhaps it’s the party aura of Cinco de Mayo, but the experience always seems to lighten the mood.  So, on a [...]
