Dishes loved all over the world have made our collective Western New York menu, thanks to the determination of cooks with something to prove. Namely, that Buffalo eaters would also thrill to some of the best things they ever ate, no matter where it’s from.
These dishes can only be found in one local restaurant. These are not specials, or chef brainstorms. These are classics from around the world, made in Buffalo.
Here’s 10 – the first installment, with more to come.
