Buffalo Eats

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 [...]

Our final meal of Local Restaurant week was a weekend dinner at O’Connell’s American Bistro, a long overdue visit to a restaurant that has been on our wishlist for years.  Both Alli and I were looking for an offering that was something really creative.  Normally the restaurants will offer a small selection of their normal [...]

I didn’t need to look online or even ask any co-workers about Nina’s Custard before I finally decided to try it out for lunch, somehow I knew exactly what the food and atmosphere was going to be like.  My initial expectation was Anderson’s but with a “mom and pop” vibe, which is exactly what I [...]

Last Sunday Alli and I finally went to our first Nickel City Chef competition (I know, we suck) and the secret ingredient was beef from O’Briens Meats.  Before the competition, both Alli and myself had been hearing really great things about the steakhouse/shop and had planned on visiting soon.  It was even on our short [...]
