Buffalo Eats

On my lunch breaks I occasionally drive around looking for new places to eat hoping something catches my eye.  Last week I saw a sign on Transit for Chappie’s that was advertising their grand opening.  Now a new pizza place wouldn’t really draw much attention, but I couldn’t remember the last time I went to [...]

I grew up only a couple miles away from George’s Hot Dog Stand and have fond memories of the place from my childhood.  Even though I haven’t been back in a while, I am well aware of their menu and how diehard their fans are.  I know many people who look forward to the first [...]

This year we’ve seen Buffalo’s Food Truck scene continue to grow and we’ve been trying to keep up, last month we finally made our way to Cheesy Chick and Pizza Amore, and last weekend we hit up The Sweet Hearth.  The Sweet Hearth is different from other Food Trucks in Buffalo as they only offer [...]

Last month I visited a couple Chinese restaurants, trying narrow down my favorite take out “Chinese” place for lunch.  I didn’t try any mind blowing dishes, and while I had a some tasty dishes here and there, neither place really won me over.  So my search continued, and I eventually ended up at Chinese Cookery [...]

I grew up in the Southtowns, so until a couple years ago I had no idea about Dash’s Market or that it was even a local chain of grocery stores.  I work near the Williamsville location on West Klein, which reminds me of a “mom and pop” Wegmans, with a cafe area offering all sorts [...]

Pizza Amore isn’t technically a “food truck” but instead a trailer that has been converted to a mobile wood-fire pizza oven.  The trailer is run by the Perri family of Grand Island.  Though they have been around since June 2011, they have recently started to park in front of the First Niagara Center in downtown [...]

On a spontaneous weekday lunch, some coworkers and I we were in the mood for sushi and figured we’d try Koi Sushi since it was still on our “to try” list (it’s actually surprising how many sushi restaurants are in Getzville/East Amherst).  We sat down and were handed their checklist-style lunch menu (pictured in gallery).  [...]

The Cheesy Chick has been roaming the streets of Buffalo for the last four weeks but since they primarily only serve during lunch time, we haven’t had a chance to visit the truck.  When I woke up on Saturday morning to see their tweet about being on Amherst St at 464 Gallery, Alli and I [...]

For the fourth time in the last 5 months I am talking about a new cupcake bakery that has opened up in Western New York.  It’s one of two cupcake bakeries to have opened in East Aurora (so far there’s three in the Southtowns).  Luckily both Alli and I love our sweets, if you didn’t [...]

Two weeks ago Alli and I spent 5 glorious days in NYC eating everything we possibly could with my best friend Mike.  Thankfully Mike was very generous and we stayed at his apartment in the East Village for the entire trip, which means we were able to spend all of our money on eating and [...]
