Buffalo: You’ll Eat It Up!
Food lovers rejoice, because while we are justifiably proud of our chicken wings, there is so much more to the Buffalo culinary scene than hot sauce and blue cheese dressing. Start with enormous ethnic diversity, add in a profusion of local farms and orchards and a microclimate in nearby Niagara County that is ideal for fruit and grape growing and what do you get? You get great restaurants, delicious local specialties, wine trails, farmers markets, gourmet food shops, cooking classes, and more. Join host Nelson Starr on a quick tour of Buffalo's culinary wonderland.
Nickel City Chef
Nickel City Chef takes place in one of the city’s best kept secrets - a fully restored turn-of-the-century warehouse on Buffalo’s West Side (home to Artisan Kitchens & Baths). Completely outfitted with two competition-worthy kitchens, this unique setting is the ideal location for guests to enjoy snacks and drinks while experiencing this one-of-a-kind cooking competition first hand.
The Anchor Bar
The Anchor Bar invented the chicken wing in 1964. More than 40 years later, the Anchor Bar is still serving up this worldwide phenomenon to people visiting from across the globe.
True Blue Buffalo
Check out a new series of restaurant videos starring Buffalo rock-and-roller Nelson Starr. They’re from TrueBlueBuffalo.com, a new, online channel featuring video podcasts and episodic documentaries about Buffalo, New York, and produced by Buffalo filmmaker John Paget.
Give My Regards to Broadway!
In a quest to reconnect with his family's (and Buffalo's) Polish heritage, Nelson snacks his way through the Broadway Market, polka dances at Dyngus Day, and finally reaches nirvana at Spar's European Sausages. Special guest stars: Airborne Eddy and the world's most rockin' polka band, Those Idiots.
Fish Fried in the Old First Ward
It’s Saint Patrick’s Day and Nelson gets lucky in Buffalo’s Old First Ward...discovering the consummate Irish meal at Gene McCarthy’s, Buffalo’s best fish fry at Swannie House, and the real Buffalo St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
A Buffalo Love Story
In a Valentine’s Day special, Nelson goes in search of true love; but first he must endure a chocolate bender for the ages, including a tour of legendary Fowler’s chocolate factory, a coma-inducing chocolate megatini at the Chocolate Bar and a trip to the future and past of chocolate at Chow Chocolat.
