Kuni's Cookies


I’ve become addicted to these beauties (pictured above), a cookie quite unlike anything I’ve had before. Made of rice flour, they are crisp and light as air. The flavor profile of the biscuit itself is slightly salty which is augmented by the sweet maple icing on the top. They really are an experience, and I’ve greatly enjoyed watching people taste them for the first time. They come in a large bag for $3.69. Each bag contains 10-12 individually wrapped two-packs.
I think I’ve found one of the best ways to use them, short of simply consuming the entire bag yourself while typing away in the middle of the night. I strongly recommend that you consider serving them crumbled atop a quality vanilla ice cream at a dinner party this summer. Here again, the maple and hint of salt can really transform the simple vanilla ice cream, and the added crunch is just another bonus. Make sure to use 1 or 2 cookies per serving, a simple dusting will just not do. Now, that’s a dessert that is inexpensive, fuss-free, unique and over the top delicious.

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 …
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 …
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 …
Marcos Vargas has had a slew of restaurant locations around the West Side of Buffalo in his 24 years of doing business here, but the latest move to Niagara Street has got to be the best yet.
Vargas hails from Puerto Rico. Before Buffalo, he had restaurants in New Jersey and on 57th Street in Brooklyn. This is a family business, and customer loyalty is built in, which is one of the reasons Vargas manages to keep his prices so low. You can get your salty/sweet and crunchy craving …
