Buffalo Eats

We had no idea Reid’s existed when we wrote a post about seasonal hot dog stands last year. In the last 7+ months since, we’ve had dozens of friends and readers tell us we needed to visit the small Lockport hot dog stand. It took a while for us to finally eat there, since they […]

One of my goals this summer is to visit as many seasonal hot dog joints as I can. Over the last four years we’ve visited a majority of them, but we still have a couple local favorites to check out (Reid’s, Connors, Red Top). Pautler’s Drive-In isn’t exactly a hot dog joint, but they are […]

This week was exciting for Buffalo’s food truck scene, both The Black Market Food Truck and Frank Gourmet Hot Dogs hit the streets. Alli and I made a late night visit to Frank on Saturday and then I revisited again yesterday for lunch. I had some high hopes for a hot dog truck when I […]

The weather is getting colder which means corn mazes, pumpkin patches, hay rides and apple picking are starting to pop up all over Western New York. When I think of this weather, I immediately think of Apple Cider. Last weekend Alli, Tommy and I visited Mayer Brothers in West Seneca, arguably the area’s most popular […]

Kevin Purdy told me about Dogtown almost two years ago when we had a conversation about Lucky Dogs opening and he mentioned how awesome Rochester’s Dogtown was in comparison. It took me two years to finally understand what he, and other friends living in Rochester, were talking about. So when my brother and I were […]

I haven’t read much about the Redlinski’s restaurant or the company, but I simply assumed they would pale in comparison to Ted’s Hot Dogs or Sahlen’s. In Buffalo those are the respective kings of the hot dog world and whenever a friend from Rochester/Batavia/wherever would try to tell me otherwise, I would usually ignore them. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

For the majority of our readers, you probably already know about Ted’s Hot Dogs.  The popular local chain is extremely well known in this area and for good reason, they keep things simple.  They offer the always wonderful Sahlen’s hot dog, cooked on a charcoal grill (not fried on a flat stove) at pretty cheap […]
