It’s Easter. I was born and raised in Buffalo. I’m Catholic. I love me a Malczewski’s Butter Lamb. Q.E.D.
My hometown has some specialty food items that warm my heart:
Bison French Onion Dip
Frank & Teressa’s Anchor Bar Wing Sauce
Sponge Candy (there are fights over who has the best…Alethea’s or Watson’s)
Beef on Weck
I’m fascinated by how a family, a city, a culture, or an era is defined by the food and beverage consumed. So here’s another opportunity to share: what food and drink defines you, your family, your hometown, your politics, religion…whatever?
I promise that when you share, I listen and turn your input into content for this blog. I’m just a tad busy with writing projects and a new food adventure.
Thanks, y’all.
My family and I celebrated my local ‘special’ places today – Doughnut Plant and Murray’s Bagels (yes, Philly & DC, I’m bringing these to the next Bagel Off!). And… you just have not lived until you’ve had a creme brûlée or coconut cream doughnut from Doughnut Plant.
Growing up, THE defining food of a win on our softball team was an Oreo Cookies and Cream ice cream cone from Denville Dairy. Still my favorite – means home, fun and love.
