Peanut Butter and Jelly Soup
You might remember a while back when we covered the peanut butter burger at Empire Grille? Well, The Chocolate Bar has just introduced peanut butter and jelly soup. Yes, it may sound a bit odd, but we tried it last night and can honestly say that if you like peanut butter, then you'll love this soup. Executive Chef Willy Pembleton concocted the dish, and he told me that on their first day of serving it (yesterday), he served up ten orders. "People really liked it," he told me. "I added bruleed bananas and buttered wheat toast points for dipping... plus I threw a marshmallow in for good measure."
The peanut butter and jelly soup had a small hint of jelly, but the peanut butter stole the show. Served hot and creamy in a large bowl, this has to be one of the more unique experimental dishes in the city - right up there with Coda's unusual flavored ice creams. The Chocolate Bar is located at 114 W Chippewa Street in Buffalo. (716) 332-0484

Jimmy's BBQ
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 … - Jul 2nd, 12:19pm

Zatar - Is The Star (in a Tagine)
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 … - Jun 28th, 9:30am

Filippo's Real Italian
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 … - Jun 19th, 10:04am

I've had peanut butter soup before but never with jelly------ what favor? Bruised Bananas and peanut butter on buttered rye toast with strawberry jelly is all that my refrig. yields at this hour. Saved my life, great suggestion.

I don't care how great the food at the Chocolate Bar is...they treat their employees like crap. Just look on Craigslist and you will see tons of ads for them. (No, they don't put their name in their ads but I know that it is them.) And no, I am not just a lazy disgruntled employee. I am a former employee who has over 10 years of experience working at top Buffalo restaurants and have never seen a restaurant that treats it's employees just as poorly as the Chocolate Bar does.
Is their food great? Yes. Is their food overpriced? Yes. Is it worth eating there knowing that they can't follow basic labor standards. I don't think so.
Flame away.

I was very disappointed with "The Chocolate Bar" . As the name implies it would seem to me it should be a hip/sexy place to hang out, instead I found a place that was overly lite, bad service, no music... but a Hockey game on. Felt like I was at a sports bar trying to be a Martini bar. Very sad

the martinis are great, and for those business minded individuals, they are hosting a business mixer on Feb. 6th starting at 5:30 pm.

Not so new or inovative, and niether is the ice cream. Both ideas have been done. The Chocolate Bar is a good idea but a weak effort.
It is just another bar on Chippewa

I have to say I was expecting a lot more of this place. It looks nice inside and the menu "sounded good", but their chocolate martini was one of the most disgusting things I have ever had - it was so thick that it was like drinking cake mix. If you stopped drinking for a few minutes it developed a skin on top, YUCK! The fondue was ok, but nothing special. And I agree, I couldn't believe how obnoxious and sports bar like it felt in there. Creme brulee martini was kinda yummy though.

Like some of the desserts, but most of the martini's are awful. I felt like the staff was "bothered" to even wait on me. The owner (I think he was the owner) was a nasty man with a bad attitude. I don't think I will return. I'll go to next door to Papaya.
