Buffalo Eats

Last week I attended a Preview Day on Old Falls Street; I was a little hesitant because I don’t attend press conferences too often and I’m not really a journalist. But after Chef Kate Elliott told me she’d be serving some delicious treats, I knew I couldn’t miss it. Alli and I had our first […]

While reorganizing our Master List, I had a chance to look through almost all of our past Food Porn articles. It was a little embarrassing but it reminded me of how many restaurants we’ve only visited once. When my old roommate Jay and I traveled down Niagara Street to visit Sun in January 2011, it […]

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 […]

I’ve wanted to try Nick’s Place for years. The restaurant had all the of the signs of being a really good neighborhood dive. The outside was unassuming and looked like a converted house, the menu is cheap, they have almost no internet presence and they are only open until 3pm. I’m not sure what took […]

As we were still coming off our ramen high from the night before, Alli and I headed to the 7th Annual Taste of Culinary at the Hotel Lafayette. The Taste of Culinary is put together by the American Culinary Federation which focuses on up and coming cooks (many of them students) and Chefs from institutions […]

If you follow Alli or I on twitter you may have noticed some chatter about Midnight Mass and ramen. Last Saturday we walked into Bistro Europa around midnight to a the restaurant packed with some dedicated foodies and restaurant folk who were all dying for a good bowl of ramen. It marked Chef Steve and […]

For our last NYC Eats post, we’ll be writing about a couple casual stops we made while walking around Manhattan and exploring some of the various neighborhoods. When I got back to Buffalo on Sunday night, I noticed that we hadn’t visited as many restaurants as last year. That’s probably a good thing. I remember […]

When Alli and I were planning our trip, we decided that we wanted to visit a couple of restaurants that are really hot right now; a Michelin starred restaurant, a hip new taco joint from a popular chef and one of the most anticipated new restaurants of 2013. Unfortunately, we only made one reservation a […]

Since both Alli and I grew up in Orchard Park, we often find ourselves traveling back to visit our parents. So when Orchard Fresh opened their doors this weekend, we were excited to see what it was all about. A few weeks ago, we received an email from a Tops PR employee who wanted to […]
