Good, Stinky Cheese: Finger Lakes Champagne
Yancey’s cheeses are extremely reasonable at only $5.99 per lb. I took home a nice wedge of aged cheddar made with “Finger Lakes Champagne”. It was bright and flavorful, the perfect addition to a piece of homemade apple pie.
The Co-op carries at least six versions of Yancey’s Fancy cheddar. Varieties include roasted garlic, habanero and jalapeño pepper, horseradish, Buffalo wing seasoning and flecks of peppadew.

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 … - Yesterday, 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

I'm quite fond of Yancy's xxxsharp cheddar which I've been buying at Wegman's. It's good to know that the line is carried at the Co-op which is way closer to my house than Wegman's.

I was so excited to find this cheese at a Stew Leonard's in Danbury, CT that I immediately had to buy it, as I do with other hometown products. The label is designed well too!

Great food comes from this little aisle at the Co-op. Yancy's cheeses, along with the others like the Wenslydale and manchego, fit any appetizers appetite. I've had the Buffalo Wing Cheese before and it's excellent, as mentioned in an accompanying article "slash" recipe.
Stop here on your way home from work for something different. You will certainly find it every time.
