I’ve told you once before about SAMPLE’s monthly Supper Club, an occasion on which the restaurant's bite-sized portions are served at a more typical size. Their five course prix fixe dinner is not only a great deal, but in my opinion, a fantastic dining experience.

When people complain about the lack of modern food in Buffalo, I simply point them to SAMPLE. It’s not just the chic décor and innovative portion size that sets SAMPLE apart; it is the clean preparations and modern flavor pairings.

This month, they’ve tried something new. Chef Adam Goetz has worked closely with the Village Beer Merchant to bring you a delicious meal replete with solid beer pairings. Vinny from the Village Beer Merchant will be on hand to describe each pairing and answer any questions you may have. This is a great opportunity for beer lovers to discover what both of these businesses have to offer and for SAMPLE lovers to try something new. The evening’s menu follows.

    Story Image 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 …

  • Betty's, I Love You

    Story Image 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 …

    Story Image 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 …
