Buffalo Eats

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 [...]

Before I even stepped foot into Ruzzine’s I had heard a lot of praise of their hamburger from a lot of people including some pretty serious foodies whose opinion I highly value.  I had also heard from a couple people that the location was definitely lacking and some even used the word “dive”.  After heading [...]

Long before Chef Mike Andrzejewski told us about his fond feelings for Zorba’s Texas Hots, it was on my wishlist.  Sure, I knew exactly what they were going to serve just from looking at the building and the name, but something seemed so appealing about this tiny hot dog stand.  After doing some last minute [...]

When you go out to dinner as often as we do, you begin to develop some pet peeves.  Having an out of date or poorly designed website is certainly high on that list.  When Alli and I were trying to figure out where we wanted to spend our 6 month wedding anniversary, Le Metro was [...]

Since I obviously talk to a lot of people about food and do the occasional research, I was already aware of the good reputation Marco’s Deli and Fine Dining Italian Restaurant had in Buffalo.  Chef/Owner Marco Sciortino has even been a challenger in a Nickel City Chef challenge during Season 2, so I know he [...]

I’ve wanted to go back to Niagara Seafood for a while; our write up from February  really wasn’t a fair representation of the restaurant/grocery store.  But at the time I was really excited to share my discovery of fairly authentic Banh Mi sandwiches and figured I’d do my best with my take-out order.  On that [...]

Since I started my new job I’ve been making my way around Getzville and trying any restaurant that’s within driving distance for my lunch break.  Sara’s Deli is located in the Crosspoint Parkway, next door to Amherst Ale House and a liquor store.  The interior is pretty simple; when placing your order, you’ll find a [...]

For as long as I can remember, 577 Forrest was an ever-changing restaurant building.  When I was younger I always thought it was a great location and could never figure out why it was empty.  But Elmwood can be deceiving and that youthful and naive version of myself didn’t understand the high costs and the [...]

Long ago I always wondered how Bacchus fit into the Chippewa scene; it never seemed like the place was packed and I just assumed only bars that catered to 18-25 year old’s would prosper in that area.  Years before Soho Burger Bar was getting attention for changing their format from niteclub to gourmet burger restaurant, [...]

With three new cupcake boutiques opening this Fall, I  plan on eating a lot of sweets before the end of the year.  Alli and I have already visited The Cupcake Orchard and we’re planning on stopping by Swirls (in East Aurora) in the near future, but it was North Buffalo’s Fairy Cakes Cupcakery that we [...]
