Nothing Says Luxury Like Lobster!
Gabrielle Bouliane
Lobster dinners have always been a special occasion for me n so much so that I canit actually remember the last time I had one, but last night I got the feast of a lifetime at the Viking Lobster Company. See, this kind of meal isn't an ordinary celebration where you get all shined up and worry about spilling anything, or trying not to eat so much your clothes get uncomfortable. Here, weire talking iwear the bib n youire gonna need iti stuff, with the pla…

From Beijing to Chicken Wing,
Frenchy
Where do you take a University at Buffalo (UB) student from China during her first week in town? To the Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival of course! I was recently offered the unique experience of hosting Shoxuan Feng from Beijing, China, in my home until December. The 22 year old college student has been st…

Before I begin this post, I must come clean. Whatever degree of objectivity you may expect of me will not be present in this article. The reason for this is that the best meal of my life took place at The Coda. I am not skilled enough to describe how utterly sumptuous it was. Let me say simply, that it consisted of a wel…

Nick's Place
queenseyes
While sharing an adventure on Amherst Street today with Sue (French teacher), we ducked out of the rain into a small (or so we thought) dineresque type of an eatery called Nick's Place. Sue had heard that the food was rockin' and we were both cold and hungry. If there were ever a place to warm your heart and feed your soul, Nick's Place would…

There is an Egg Man (cukoo cachoo)
Yesterday I was having a really old-fashioned kind of day. My friend Kathy and I were in her West Side kitchen preparing to make blueberry muffins from blueberries we had picked ourselves the day before. As we assembled the ingredients and chatted about canning and jams, Kathy told me that eggs were on the way. At 10:30am the cukoo clock sang a pleasant "cu-koo" and there was a knock at the door. It was Mark, her egg man from Akron Farms.

"Beer that is not drunk has missed it's vocation" -- Meyer Breslau, 1880
Admittedly, this column was due in last night. Chalk it up to prepping Buffalo Old Home Week, writing up syllabi for three courses, and as mentioned in a previous column, the fact that I am generally a lazy ol' viper. Relax. Don't worry. Have a Homebrew, as Charlie Papazian is oft herd to say.

One of the many stellar reasons to live or visit Buffalo and Western New York during the summer months is the abundance of yummy local fruits and vegetables. On a gray and cold winter day, dreams of local summer peaches can render me quite melancholy. The thought of a sweet, warm tomato, fresh off the vine, can push me over the edge.
So you can imagine my c…

Cookin' With Flying Bison
Christa Glennie Seychew
Flying Bison, located at 491 Ontario Street, has become an integral part of Buffalois drinking culture. Open since April of 2000, they have since been spoiling us with high quality, preservative and additive-free beer produced by their twenty-barrel brewery.
Recently I visited with Tim Herzog, one of the founders and owners of Flying Bison. He was kind…
