Buffalo Eats

Growing up in Orchard Park for the first 24 years of my life, I’ve had my fair share of BW’s at various catered events.  Somehow, I never actually ate that their restaurant and since I moved to the city almost 3 years ago, it looked like the odds of visiting were slim.  But when my […]

There is currently a Cupcake revolution happening in the southtowns.  Ok, that might be an exaggeration but soon there will be two gourmet Cupcake shops; Swirls in East Aurora and The Cupcake Orchard in Orchard Park.  Swirls isn’t open for business yet but The Cupcake Orchard just had their grand opening on October 8th and […]

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 […]

When my Dad is in town, I immediately need start to think of potential dinner possibilities.  He’s not the most adventurous eater, so the options usually are limited to Pizzeria’s or American/Diner locations.  Which is great since Buffalo has an almost endless supply of fried foods and we definitely don’t mind crossing them off our […]

First of all, I (Dave) apologize for my absence. Due to uncontrollable circumstances I was forced to take a leave of absence (I may or may not have been in African finding a cure to malaria.) I hope to become a more avid blogger and I once again apologize for my lack of posts and […]

This summer we at Buffalo Eats are going to try and visit as many ice cream stands as possible.  We have covered of few dessert shops and ice cream parlors, but there are many many more out there.  With summer approaching, we can hopefully give some readers a new location to bring their kids or […]

UPDATE: This restaurant has since closed, 5 de Mayo has a Cheektowaga location on Union Rd near George Urban Blvd.. only a couple minutes from the Walden Galleria. One of the remaining cuisines that I have yet to really “experience” would be Mexican; I don’t pretend that my experiences with Mighty Taco are anything even […]

For my 25th birthday I wanted to go to a restaurant that I had never been to before (and that was also on my Food Odyssey List). For some reason or another I decided that one of Orchard Park’s oldest restaurants Eckl’s Beef & Weck would be my birthday meal.  Sure I might have preferred […]

Over the last two weeks, Alli and I have attempted to live a healthier lifestyle.  Which means there will be no fried foods, ice cream, or any other unhealthy meals for a little while.  The plus side (aside from loosing a couple pounds) is that Alli and I get to try some new delicious food that is […]

I was recently having a discussion with a friend about how there is nothing cool in the Southtowns, and for the most part it’s true. (Alli edit: I disagree..have you been to East Aurora?).  But if you look hard enough, you can find those hidden gems.  Taffy’s is one of those gems located in Orchard […]
