Taste of Buffalo This Weekend!
hippiegrrl
As we move into the busy weekends of the summer festival season, one of the most popular places to be this second weekend of July 2006 will be the Taste of Buffalo. Now in it's 21st year, the Taste will once again take place on Delaware Avenue (it moved there last year) and around the circle in Niagara Square. This is a great location and it is sure to be packed. As a Yum! correspondent, I will be attending the festival on both days and reporting back on my delicious finds. Last year we discovered the best pulled pork sandwich in town and a few new great places to check out. This year I'll be attempting to speak to some vendors and gauge their impressions of the Taste. This f…

Brunching Out @ The Coda!
queenseyes
Brunch is one of my all-time favorite meals. There's nothing better than sitting down to a Sunday brunch at a small local restaurant with a cup of coffee and a good local magazine. I always try to mix it up... to go to different places... to try the special offerings that you can only find that one day a week. Every brunch spot has features t…

Mary's Broiled Grapefruit???
queenseyes
To some a broiled grapefruit for breakfast could sound like the most unappetizing meal on the planet. To others it sounds like a healthy and delicious way to start the day. Betty's on Virginia serves something called Mary's Broiled Grapefruit and I had been hearing from friends that it was very good. To me, the dish so…

BR.O Beer News & Review

Beer... Buffalo- What could possibly go wrong?
Things have been busy for The Beer Guy of late, of top of which the camera seems to have taken a turn for the dead, so: Sorry for the dearth of reviews. Of course, The Beer Guy has been drinking worthy beers, for you, but the writing part has been a bit slack. I am an idler and a scofflaw by nature, what can I say?
The new format will be to throw down one beer news and one beer review each month, so check your Sunday nights for these bimonthly posts. On the first Sunday of the month, I'll round out what I know about the B-lo beer scene (send tips to ecox@buffalorising.com) while the third Sunday will be dedicated to throwing …

Hemp: It's What's Cookin'
When I stopped by Buffalo Hemp Outfitters I didn't expect to be bringing a meal home with me. A hat, a blanket, maybe, but dinner? So it came as some surprise to me to learn that hemp is actually considered a "super food" by many people.
Now, I don't know who Dr. Theimer is but he is right-on advocating Hanf and Natur's Hemp Pasta. Of course, being a doctor he is probably interested in the nutritional value of hemp seeds. They are, it turns out, a good source of highly digestible protein, full of fiber and essential fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals. So that's a bunch of big league plus on the health front. But for a food renegade like me it was the thought of trying something new that got me juiced up.

Kids are crazy for KOSTAS
It has taken us three years to try Kostas, and now we've been back twice in one week!
Kostas Family Restaurant on Hertel Avenue, as the name suggests, is the perfect FAMILY restaurant. Last weekend, after a long day of yard work, we wanted to try something close to home, affordable, and kid friendly. Usually dining with the kids means compromising. But at Kostas, we found that we could each get exactly what we wanted.
