Red and Blue Blitz
The local ice cream maker officially unveiled its newest sports-inspired flavor, Buffalo Bills Brownie Blitz. Kicking off the new flavor with a press conference at Tops Friendly Markets on Elmwood, Perry's Ice Cream and the Buffalo Bills joined together this past Monday to offer media, shoppers and fans a free sample of Brownie Blitz.
Combining fudge swirls with brownie chunks and French Vanilla ice cream, the ingredients of Brownie Blitz are simple, but the initial task of choosing flavors was much more complex. With a potential list of nearly 50 ingredient options, Perry's and the Bills were faced with an extensive elimination process. As the official ice cream of the Bills, Perry's representatives said they worked closely with the team to develop the concept and the flavors surrounding Blitz.
The verdict? After tasting the latest flavor, I have to say, it has the potential to score with fans--especially those who don’t like overpowering flavor. Its ingredients are varied enough so that it establishes itself from other Perry’s sports ice creams, like Ryan Miller’s Breakaway Berrier (which combines dark chocolate and raspberry swirls) and Sabres Top Shelf Sundae (which features fudge coated cone pieces and peanuts).
Still, it’s basic enough to satisfy any picky ice cream eater. No nuts, no berries, no coffee beans, no cookie dough. For some, this might be perfect; for others it might get boring after a few spoonfuls, so having some hot fudge or whipped cream on hand might be best. By itself, Brownie Blitz isn’t out-of-this-world original, but it’s a reliable and satisfying treat, and let’s face it, sometimes that’s exactly what you need during the summer. Come to think of it, that’s probably exactly what you need after a heart-wrenching, day-depressing loss...should that ever happen.
Will Bills fans be trading bowls of Brownie Blitz alongside burgers and Labatts come tailgating time? Maybe not. But at least they’ll have a cold gallon waiting for them in the freezer when they get home.

Fresh and Fabulous from the Farm – A Sunday Supper
One of my favorite things to do while assisting at the Slow Food Buffalo, Chef Demo table at the Bidwell Market is to people-watch.
I get a kick out of observing the customers. They scurry from table to table curiously checking out what each vendor has brought in that week to tantalize their taste buds. Little kids sneak a blueberry while some people secretly squeeze a tomato. Many smell the flowers, sample some sausage or eng … - Today, 5:21am

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

Well, at least the ice cream isn't melting in this photo. Purple was not a good choice for the bowl color, though.

It is better than "Toronto Toffee Turtle" or "Vegas Vanilla"... Go Bills, Go Perry's!
