Buffalo Eats

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 [...]

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).  [...]

As you may have read in previous posts, I recently stated a new job in the northtowns, Getzville to be exact.  Lately I’ve been driving around on my lunch break and trying to see exactly what I can find.  Today’s post features a been a place I’ve been dying to try since we started Buffalo [...]
