Taste of Buffalo
 

One of the highlights of my summer every year. :nod: Ours is the second largest in the U.S., second only to Chicago.

I am ridiculously full after gorging today with a friend. We split most stuff, each had 2 beers. We spent about $40 between us total.

Here's the rundown:

Cajun chicken strips with jack blue cream sauce *** (the sauce was bland, but the chicken was good & spicy)

Buffalo wing burger ** (a bit dull - I mean, it was spicy, but it was basically a burger with hot pepper cheddar cheese & blue cheese dressing on it)

Artichokes gratinee *** (a bit more cheese would have made this a 4 star)

Shrimp & artichokes in sambuca cream sauce **** (very interesting combo, and the sambuca didn't overpower other flavors at all)

Crab rangoon *** (good, but nothing special)

Thai marinated flank steak w/sweet & sour slaw **** (the marinade was really good, kind of sweet. the steak was so tender.)

Sauteed asian tiger shrimp w/ smoked bacon salsa ***** (my fave of the day. tasted just like it sounds)

Chocolate dipped pineapple macaroon ***** (very original, very big, very fantastic)

Smile cookie *** (had to spend my last 2 tickets - good soft chexy moist cookie. with a smiley face.)

Grand Marinier chocolate covered strawberries ***** (sweet jeebus, these were good.)


Do they have "Taste of" things where you guys live? Was it Rickypt who gave us his list of foods last time? Jyqm? I can't recall. Anyway, if you've never been to one, I highly recommend it. And if anyone ever wants to visit Buffalo, I highly recommend you come the weekend after 4th of July, that's when it's always held. :wavey:

Well, it's official. I've started one too many threads about food & you've all had enough. :laugh: Well, before I go I just want you to know that I have pie today. And it was great.

Sorry, I've never been to a "taste of..."

Jesus, Paula, are you still gushing about your food???? :laugh:

Amby - that's too bad. You're really missing out.

Maria - yes, yes I am.

Thanks for the pity replies! :wavey:

That's what I figured until I read the list of food you ate. :shrug:

Whatev. Maybe I won't be staying with you if I make it to Cali, you'll probably make me eat good healthy food. :rolleyes:

Seriously, that's the fun of it. Eating stuff you wouldn't normally eat. It's a treat, an opportunity to try new things. I don't eat like that every day (well, except for the beer ;) )

Dont be sorry! Man I got hungry just looking at all the good foods you had to eat!:cool:

I knew I could count on David to post in a food thread. :nod:

:thumbsup:

Yes indeed. Food is such a passion with me. Too bad my waistline doesnt like it.:lol:

Ah food (slurp). I think that buffalo wing burger would've been better breaded and fried with buffalo sauce on it. I know, really decadent, but that's the way to do it IMO!

You know, the last time I was in Boston between the Sail Loft, Union Oyster House and various establishments in the north end I think I went from a 36 to a 40!:cool: :laugh:

Fried clams at Joe's American Bar and Grill. Mmmmm...

(((UGH))):laugh: I want some!

Just weighed myself for kicks. I lost a pound since last week. :thumbsup: In your face, food!
