[Buffalo-pm] A Seriously OT Question

I was born in 1983, so I may not know about "Classic Buffalo" cuisine, but I'd actually point you to BuffaloChow:

http://buffalochow.com

I'd recommend:
Ulrich's Tavern (German Food), Pearl Street Brewery & Grill (American, with really good beers), Kentucky Gregs (BBQ), Ted's (Hot dogs), Duff's (Wings), Bocce Club (Pizza)

You'll have to give me a call next time you're passing through!

The real problem is finding any venues for "classic Buffalo cuisine" that are still in business. Yes, Schwabel's, but their quality is inconsistent. Andersons is a local institution, but their beef-on-weck doesn't compare to Schwabel's at their best.

Anchor is under new management, but other's have improved on the concept (taking a throw-away part of the bird and making it something you would eat).  Pizza is not distinctly Buffalo cuisine, but there are local favorites (avoid most, but I like Bob and John's).

Best bet is to find a corner bar in a neighborhood that seems relatively safe and let them show you how it used to be. (Maybe someone can suggest one, since it's been a long time since I've been bar-hopping. I'm thinking South Buffalo or Black Rock.  Also, check out <www.buffalorising.com>, they review a lot of local eateries. )
