Niagara County Goodies at Washington Market


Local products can also be found here. On my most recent visit I picked up some of Di Camillo’s delicious, buttery rolls. These are a favorite of mine, and I really appreciate having access to a Niagara County product here in our fair city.
Much to my surprise, while waiting for my lunch, rolls in hand; I noticed a selection of Niagara County jellies on the counter. Lewiston's own Catawba and Concord grape juice are blended with berries grown in North Collins. The end result is a smooth and flavorful jelly.
In case all of the benefits mentioned above are not enough reason to make a stop at the market, their lovely sidewalk patio is bound to open soon. The first time our Buffalo sun provides enough warmth for lunching alfresco is always a glorious day!

Before returning to Buffalo, I often wondered what new additions I had missed in our city’s restaurant and bar scene. So highly recommended by many of my closest friends, Jimmy’s on Elmwood, the old Buffalo Barbeque and Brew, was on the top of my to-do bar bite restaurant list.
It has recently been taken over by Jimmy Hambridge, who has been involved with the establishment since it’s opening as the Brew in October of 2006, actually a day before that horrible storm. The Ji …
It should come as no surprise to YUM readers, that I have a passion for spices. You can expect to find me foraging through the city’s ethnic markets, hunting for treasures with which to restock my spice cabinet. The more exotic the spices, the more excited I am to try them. And excited is exactly the way I felt when I first discovered zatar.
Not to be confused with Za’atar (which is a sort of hybrid of thyme-marjoram-oregano), zatar is a traditional Middle Eastern aromatic …
If you’re craving something sweet, you’ve picked the right time to do it. Starting on Monday, June 23rd, Choco-Logo Confectionery Design will be kicking off its annual summer sale. Choco-Logo, whose name is modeled after “Coca Cola,” was, up until recently, the only chocolate factory shop in downtown Buffalo that had captured the attention of people from all over Western New York.

Italian restaurants are much loved here in Western New York. People from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds cherish the hearty, homestyle flavors of this Mediterranean cuisine. However, for the large group of immigrant and first-generation Italians here in Buffalo, several of the local Italian restaurants miss the mark.
With a mother from Calabria (southern Italy) and some training in the culinary arts, I fall into this category of disenchanted Italians yearning for tru …

A Sunday ride along Rt 104 to Rochester can get you access to some of our area's best Jams and Jellies. As the early fresh produce comes to market at various road side stands, the home grown and produced canned and preserved commodities also are available. Canned fruits and vegetables that rival any found in gourmet specialty shops are reasonable and in amazing variety. On a Sunny day, the ride and garage sale items are a treat, kind of like a giant flea market.
