It's all in the delivery.

Marylou, co-owner of Morning Glory Cafe, heads out every day to deliver great food all over downtown Buffalo. She and her business partner Pat have really done an incredible job marketing their food to some of the bigger businesses in town. The size of the baskets that they fill up has expanded as the demand for their food grows. Morning Glory is a little oasis on Porter that caters to both a devoted breakfast and lunch crowd. They have managed to carve out a nice niche in the competitive restaurant market here in the city, and it is partially due to their ever-growing delivery business that their restaurant continues to flourish.

Unfortunately, Morning Glory does not deliver their food on a 'per meal' basis. That means that if you're hankering for one of their killer egg sandwiches in the morning, and you don't have time to cruise on over to Porter Avenue, then you're out of luck.

So who in the city is delivering small quantities of high quality food? I'm not talking about hotdogs, pizza and subs, I'm talking about a good sandwich that you can normally find at places like Betty's, Brodo, Colter Bay, Coles, Cozumel... I could go on. You would think that one of these restaurants would take advantage of the dearth of 'sandwich style' delivery options. So we at BRO are looking for a couple things. We're looking for a place that delivers good sandwiches that we might not be aware of. We are also making a plea to some of the local sandwich shops to consider delivery. It's either that or placing an absurd order for thirty items from Morning Glory just to get 'em to 'ring your doorbell'.

Certainly, Kennedy has "been around politics" all of her life, which is to say she was born into a family of politicos and lived in the White House--neither of which would necessarily f …

  • The NFTA Santa Ride

    Story Image Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way. One of my favorite memories of childhood was taking the train downtown with my grandfather. I would gaze out the windows and watch the tunnel speed by. It always felt like we were going a million miles an hour. Then there was the ability to stand up and walk around during the ride without the need to be strapped down. It was always a fun time …
