I eat my own version of chicken wings (don't like spicy ones) ... I just love those mighty tacos ... if we drive through, we must stop there!

I wouldn't wish to live there ... too much snow!

LOL... I got married in Buffalo on November 25 (we're not saying how long ago) and I can't tell you how many crapped out at the last minute because they were afraid of the weather... :nervous:

Yeah I believe it ... hated Rochester weather ... with all the snow from the lake. I hated driving on 90 and also on 81 near Watertown ... all that white out snow (doesn't help when I drove a white car)!!!

TED's Hot Dogs and Blasdell pizzeria!! Buffalo pizza is a true wonder...hot, juicy, and greasy!!! pizza here in Cleveland just doesn't compare!! The one you absolutely can't get anywhere else though is beef on weck (wick) I can make buffalo wings, I can charbroil hots... but I really can't reproduce beef on weck or buffalo pizza..

MO

ps. saying you grew up in Buffalo and managed to survive Buffalo winters is kind of like a badge of honor..LOL Buffalo does have some weather!! :bg: :bg:
