Buffalo Eats

Last weekend I was pretty excited that Alli and I managed to eat the majority of our meals in the South Buffalo area. We picked up some food from English Pork Pie Company, stopped by Nine Eleven for some delicious Chicken Wings (arguably the best in Buffalo) and started our Saturday off with some breakfast [...]

One of the reoccurring complaints I hear about Buffalo’s food scene is a lack of good deli’s.  I’ve had some very good meals at several Italian deli’s (Joe’s, Marco’s) and I’ve heard we have a couple good European deli’s, but what I think Western New York is lacking are Jewish deli’s.  For a long time [...]

La Galera in Niagara Falls is often mentioned as one of the few places in Western New York that serves good and “authentic” Mexican food. It’s also constantly ranked in the top 10 on Urbanspoon‘s list of Buffalo’s Restaurants. Now that Alli works in Niagara Falls we’ve been thinking more and more about finally trying [...]

Since I started working in the Northtowns almost 5 months ago, I’ve tried a lot of new restaurants on my lunch breaks.  During that time I’ve had some really good pizza, an awesome burger and a good sample of many other cuisines.  But for some reason or another I’ve managed to avoid the half dozen [...]

Ever since my Mom moved to West Seneca a few months ago we have been slowing trying out the restaurants in the area.  Growing up in Orchard Park, our go-to pizza place was Rix (Ricotta’s) and she’s been trying to find a new go-to pizza place in West Seneca.  After some trial and error she [...]

Aside from offering a ridiculously large burrito, and the eating challenge associated with it, I didn’t know much about Burrito Bay.  I just assumed we’d eventually shoot a Hungry Hungry Buffaloes episode there and I’d try out their food, but then I realized on a lunch break that I work just a short drive away.  [...]

Our cupcake consumption has really increased in the last two months.  With the opening of 3 new cupcake boutiques (two in the southtowns!) we’ve really stepped up our cupcake game.  Alli and I have wanted to visit Swirls Cupcakery for a long time now but because of work we couldn’t make it down during the [...]

Last year on Halloween Day, Gordon Biersch became the newest addition to the Walden Galleria’s dining options.  I’ll admit that I have written off restaurants simply because they were chains, thinking that it was impossible to find a good national chain to eat at.  Sometimes that’s a mistake and I have occasionally enjoyed a good [...]

To say people were excited for the opening of NoNoo Ramen would be an understatement.  Any new restaurant on Elmwood will get some additional buzz but a restaurant offering a more traditional version of Japanese Ramen will really raise the expectations and build some hype.  NoNoo just opened their doors two days ago (in between [...]

It was back in May of this year when I first found out about the English Pork Pie Company from an article on Buffalo Rising about the successful husband and wife bakers that had been outgrowing their Cheektowaga bakery.  Since then the award winning English Pork Pie Company have moved to a much larger location [...]
