Win Tickets to BR's Hot! Hot! "Heat" Party


For those of you that haven't been following along, “Heat” chronicles a middle-aged writer's bumpy ride through the sweaty NYC kitchen of the bold and boisterous Chef Mario Batali.
So the time has come to party, Batali-style! We'd love to have you join us on Tuesday, March 4th at the remarkable Digiulio & Company for some great food (and it's free, too), drink specials, and games all in the name of the Great Mario--oh yeah, and we'll talk about the book some, too.
We have only 15 pairs of tickets to give away, so here's how you can win a pair of tickets to this raucous event (whether you read “Heat” or not).
1.We're hoping that you've read the book. If you did, send the answer to the following question along with your full name to YUM. Don't forget to put the word HEAT in the email subject line. Correct answers will be entered in a drawing and winners will be notified by Friday, February 29th at Noon.
In "Heat", what fruity, kiddie confection did Batali turn into a reduction and serve with foie gras?
2.In case we don't have enough readers out there that can answer this question correctly, don't hesitate to send in your full name anyway (without the answer) and we'll do a random drawing to give away any extra pairs of tickets we may have. Don't forget to put the word HEAT in the email subject line.
Hurry and enter, tickets are sure to go fast!

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.
Specializing in corporate gifts, custom logo chocolates and private label products, Choco- …
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 …
