Dining Out For Life: One Man’s Feast is Another Man’s Future
Thanks to the generosity of this area’s restaurant industry, nearly 100 restaurants are ready to welcome diners on April 24 and will contribute at least 25 percent of their profits from food sales (excluding alcoholic beverages) that day. Volunteer “ambassadors” are stationed at each restaurant. They welcome diners, thank them for participating and give them printed information about the services supported by the event. The ambassadors also accept donations from anyone that may wish to contribute to the cause. To participate, simply choose a restaurant, make reservations and enjoy a great meal for a great cause.
The fifth annual Dining Out For Life fund-raiser will benefit two agencies providing vital direct services to individuals living with HIV/AIDS: AIDS Community Services of WNY (ACS), and AIDS Family Services (AFS).
Amy Martoche and Tim Hoover are co-chairs. “This is a community event where families and friends gather for a fun time with an important purpose,” Amy said. “All you have to donate is your appetite.”
The wide variety of choices, spanning fine dining to casual, will appeal to diners in all neighborhoods. For a complete listing, visit www.diningoutforlife and click on Buffalo. Information about each restaurant includes address, telephone number and type of food featured. Or, call 847.0340.
ACS will be able to supply free services to the community as a result of funds raised on this evening, such as free, anonymous HIV testing, an AIDS information line, medical care, housing assistance and community education. The AFS services include counseling, pastoral care, nutritious meals, and emergency assistance, and supplies such as diapers and clothing for young children of poor families devastated by this disease.
Founded in Philadelphia in 1991, Dining Out For Life is now produced in 50 cities across North America, raising an annual total of $2 million. All funds raised here remain here. Subaru presents the event. The Buffalo News is this years gold sponsor; WBFO-FM, silver; and JetBlue Airways, bronze.

Betty's, I Love You
It was a beautiful day for Sunday brunch, so the only choice was a restaurant that still had an open patio, where the food was going to be great.
Betty's it was. Not only was I able to have my Jack Russell terrier tableside next to the short, flower box laden fence, but I got to sit in the sun. The angle was steep for noon, a telling sign of shorter days, and if you don't believe me, look at the shadow the home fries cast.
Betty's is one of those places where you'll run into pe … - Oct 6th, 12:00am

Wasabi: Japanese Flair
There have been many reincarnations at 752 Elmwood Avenue over the past couple of years. Wasabi is the newest restaurant nestled next door to Fowlers Chocolates and right across the street from Spot Coffee. When you enter you are greeted with exposed brick, sleek furniture and a gleaming sushi bar where colorful sashimi sits like little gems in a glass case. It is a small restaurant that can seat 12 at the tables and about 10 at the bar. Sitting at the sushi bar is a treat and ent … - Sep 18th, 7:51am

Edritos Comes to Hertel
The day Edritos opened on Elmwood Avenue several years ago, I was a happy man. I powered down more than my fair share of burritos back in those days. When it moved downtown into the Key Center, I no longer frequented the establishment. I just wasn’t downtown often enough to stop in. But Edritos has moved again, this time to Hertel Avenue between Parkside and Wallace.
My wife and I dropped by for takeout earlier today. I am pleased to report that my burrito was as delicious as … - Sep 14th, 9:24am
