This is Why [Buffalo's] Fat

We have some delicious food here. But let's face it. It's not healthy. My favorite places to put pounds on like there's no tomorrow...

1. Ted's Hot Dogs

7018 Transit Rd
Buffalo, NY 14202

Category: Hot Dogs

1/2/2012

I have to say, I feel a little funny clicking the "good for kids" button when it comes to Ted's, because this place serves up fried food dripping with grease and meat of questionable origin, packed into patties or shoved into sausage casings -- with…More »

2. La Nova Pizzeria

371 W Ferry St
Buffalo, NY 14213
(716) 881-3303

Categories: Pizza, Italian

Neighbourhood: Westside

1/24/2012

I love that this place oozes character, from the black and white photos covering the walls to the old-skool video games in the corner. The pizza's awesome too -- thick crust, slightly sweet Buffalo-style red sauce, plenty of cheese, and calorie-rich…More »

3. The Brickyard Pub & BBQ

432 Center St
Lewiston, NY 14092
(716) 754-7227

Category: Barbeque

12/14/2011

For a long time now, I've thought the best BBQ in the region had to be Dinosaur BBQ in Rochester, when it's actually much closer, right here in Lewiston, at the Brickyard Pub & BBQ.

What makes it better? Well, for starters, it's entirely unhyped. I…More »

4. Mississippi Mudds

313 Niagara St
Tonawanda, NY 14150
(716) 694-0787

Category: Burgers

11/21/2011

Mississippi Mudd's is one of those places that makes Buffalo, Buffalo. A scrappy, homegrown burger joint overlooking the Niagara River that's only open in the summer, it's the perfect place to watch the sunset. You may have to wait a while to order…More »

5. Sheridan Family Restaurant

3901 Sheridan Dr
Buffalo, NY 14226
(716) 839-3011

Category: Restaurants

11/9/2011

Sheridan Family Restaurant is an institution among my friends and family. The prices haven't changed much in the last decade, and neither have the waitstaff's hairdos. You can never go wrong with their souvlaki breakfast (seriously, souvlaki +…More »

6. Cole's

1104 Elmwood Ave
Buffalo, NY 14222
(716) 886-1449

Categories: American (Traditional), Bars, Gastropubs

Neighbourhood: Elmwood Village

1/22/2012

This place is an Elmwood staple, an old-man bar that seems to draw an all-ages crowd -- perhaps because they're working hard to serve customers well and stay relevant on a hipster-fying strip.

Last time I visited, we had a GIANT party of family…More »

7. Bar Bill Tavern

185 W Main St
East Aurora, NY 14052
(716) 652-7959

Categories: American (Traditional), Pubs, Sandwiches

3/11/2012

Bar Bill's the kind of Buffalo sports bar into which light refuses to penetrate, even on the sunniest of days. It may not be the prettiest place to take a date or host a Sunday brunch, but inside this dark cubbyhole, you'll find friendly servers,…More »

8. Tokyo Shanghai Bistro

494 Elmwood Ave
Buffalo, NY 14222
(716) 886-3839

Categories: Japanese, Chinese, Sushi Bars

Neighbourhood: Elmwood Village

4/3/2012

A Takeout Haiku for Tokyo Shanghai Bistro:

Too gruff on the phone.
Greasy sesame tofu.
Decent dinner deals.

9. Paula's Donuts

380 Kenmore Ave
Buffalo, NY 14223
(716) 862-4246

Category: Donuts

5/17/2012

If I were a policeman, Paula's would be my jam. This Buffalo staple feels like a business straight out of a '70s buddy movie, with prices to match. (They've also got a brand-new store in Clarence, too. Read Alan B's review for the rundown.)
