MarkyMannn Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Best kept Italian secret in Buffalo is Linguine's out in Lancaster/Bowmansville. It's in a gas station plaza, and is the closest thing to eating at your Italian grandmother's house you will find. Way more than just a "red sauce and pasta" place like Chef's. Genesee & Harris Hill?

Seasons1992 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 No Mighty. That's a taco. You guys from Buffalo think it's fast food, but when you've been gone for 25 years, I love the fact I can order on-line. What about Beef on Weck? I don't know if Eckels is still open in Orchard Park, but they were awesome growing up. Personally I grew up working at the K of C in Lackawanna and they had the best BOW, Pizza - Our favorite was Blasdell or Abbott Pizza as it tasted the same as both owners were best friends. Lastly, how do you not include Hoaks as the Best Fish Fry on the planet. Can you tell I grew up in the Southtowns as a kid. Other than the best people, and I mean that, I miss the food. I loved the Wegmans comment on the article. Best grocery store on the planet. My sis is a VP for them. She's worked there for 30 years since college. All of this, plus Connor's and Schwabl's.

DrDawkinstein Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Genesee & Harris Hill? That's the one! Ahhh!!! You beat me to it! I love Lingunie's. I always get the VEAL MARSALA!!! Yep, and I always go with the Linguine Shrimp w/Tomato Asiago Cream & Olives. After starting with a Stuffed Artichoke of course! You really cant go wrong.

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 All of this, plus Connor's and Schwabl's. I ate at Schwabl's about a year ago. It was like $13 for and open faced roast beef sandwich at lunchtime and it came on wonder bread. It was average, was not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having that last name does not in any way make me biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I ate at Schwabl's about a year ago. It was like $13 for and open faced roast beef sandwich at lunchtime and it came on wonder bread. It was average, was not impressed. It's been many years, but I never had anything but beef on weck at Schwabl's. I was vaguely aware they ahead a menu beyond that....

TPS Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 All the La Divina talk made me detour and stop there on the way back from an errand today. Hardly anyone there. Must be the college kids are gone. Feel much better now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPS Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm moving a washer for a friend tomorrow and she's treating me to tacos... were they good? they are the best in wny. Very authentic. I usually get 1 carne asada and 1 barbacoa. The asada is steak and the other is a saucy shredded beef. 2 is sufficient for me, but you'll be working up an appetite. They sell beer there too.

YoloinOhio Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I just skimmed the article (fun read by the way) but did they leave off Ted's? Nothing better than a charbroiled Sahlen's, with Ted's hot sauce, onion rings and ice cold Loganberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloMatt Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Excellent Greek food. Panos - Elmwood Ave. Was a former cook at the original location. Ahhh remember that $2.99 steak and eggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, reading this thread I'm getting hungry. I just skimmed the article (fun read by the way) but did they leave off Ted's?

3rdand12 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 BUFFALOBART will be conducting a "how to properly cook chicken wings" clinic @ 13 Glen St. off of Abbott Rd. prior to every regular season home game this season. Stop by, if you are interested. :-) If i attend a game this year, this is on my list !! BTW This is probably the best thread i have seen in the last couple years. Its Buffalo at its heart, which is through the stomach.. Good eating !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 All Spot locations have them--fortunately, I bought a house two blocks from Paula's (yes, this was on purpose), so I can get them fresh when I am in need Cheat day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 DiTondo's is legit. Weird operating hours but excellent food. My thoughts on pizza in WNY: it mostly sucks. Mostly. Really? Maybe things are changing but I've always thought the pizza in WNY blows the doors off of pizza on the West Coast, for example. Or most international pizza. No Mighty. That's a taco. You guys from Buffalo think it's fast food, but when you've been gone for 25 years, I love the fact I can order on-line. What about Beef on Weck?

Now, it's just another non-authentic Mexican-inspired fast food joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
