"Recipes & Memories", the Broadway Market's Latest Cookbook
As compared with the first volume, Recipes & Memories: Broadway Market Cookbook Volume #2 takes a slightly different approach. The focus of the first publication was to collect an assortment of traditional recipes from vendors and customers. The second volume adds to that collection, but also includes a variety of resources for those interested in the history and culture of the Broadway-Fillmore district.
The community that emerged in the early-to-mid 20th century in the area surrounding the Broadway Market was unique and fascinating. Much of the culture was transplanted from Europe and adapted to a new area- and the food was no exception.
Some of the most delicious recipes from this time are now available to everyone. The cookbook includes Kapusniak (Sauerkraut Soup) from E&M Bakery, Chicken Breast Supreme from Max Poultry, and Garlic Roast Beef from Lupus Meats, among others. These dishes, from long-standing and celebrated vendors, are sure to add a nice new touch to your recipe collection.
Each of the six recipe dividers contains a historical photograph of the Broadway-Fillmore district. For those not only interested in the past but also the future vitality of the area, included is a list of notable sites to visit, complete with websites, phone numbers, and addresses.
Here’s a sample idea of a nice afternoon trip to the district: check out a mass (in English or Polish) at the recently revitalized Corpus Christi Church, on the corner of Clark and Kent streets, followed by lunch around the corner at the Broadway Market. While you’re there, pick up a copy of the cookbook and some ingredients for your first attempt at one of the many classic recipes disclosed within.
Copies are available at multiple locations within the Market, including Bi-Nutrients (the wonderful herb and vitamin shop), Simpson & Associates Financial Services, and the Market’s Main Office.
The cookbook is also available through the Broadway Market website for a very reasonable $10 (plus $3.95 S&H).
The Broadway-Fillmore district adds a unique flavor to our city. Bring some of that into your kitchen!

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

Vargas on Niagara
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 … - Sep 13th, 12:02pm
