For the many people inquiring, they provided horseradish with the Beef on Weck, but we aren't horseradish fans, so we enjoyed it plain. Watch more US adventures: ru-vid.com/group/PLZKRTK1yCEM7qBABNYjOaVogPrb69MrQG Our camera + hiking gear: adventuresofaplusk.com/resources/

@@AdventuresofAplusK we can certainly be a bit hostile to outsiders, having been slighted or undersold by people who have either never been or couldn't see past their preconceived notions (see: Alton Brown, Hot Ones). You, however, went an entire episode without piling on the hackneyed riffs about the snow or the Super Bowl losses. And though I'm not familiar with the pizzeria being from the north towns, 2 out of 3 were the best of the best, and that ain't bad!

Congrats on knowing to say Western New York instead of Upstate lol. love seeing you all in my neck of the woods. You've helped me so much in planning adventures elsewhere. But please don't miss out on all the state parks in the Ithaca area while you are here. I know you guys would love them.

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

Hahah we got lucky on that because we definitely didn’t know there was a difference 🙈

@ScottAlanMillerVlog 2 года назад

I'm FROM Buffalo and it's both. Upstate is all of the region, Western NY is a sub-section of Upstate. Both are loose designations. The traditional name of the region is the Niagara Frontier. This was then replaced with the Greater Niagara designation. VERY recently, the Niagara Frontier and CA regions were merged to a new "western NY" designation. And parts of the Buffalo region, like Wyoming County, were removed from the region and given to the Finger Lakes. So some of the core regions associated with Buffalo and "Western NY" are now designated as not Western anymore. But areas farther east are. It's a mess. But all of those regions are equally Upstate NY. Upper NY is the northern region above Upstate.

@@l.no.solace7209 I grew up in the Buffalo outskirts and all through the 70s - 2010s no one used WNY much, everyone called it Upstate locally all the time. The idea that anything other than Buffalo proper was the WNY of Upstate NY is something no one even mentioned until recently. It's some new "millenials don't know geography" thing that seems to have just come about through no one learning about their state anymore.

I've seen a lot of videos done about buffalo and our food scene but they never got the right food to represent this city I feel. Until this video. Every place you went to for each specific item I would've said go there for it. Imperial is one of the best local spots in the area by far and bar bill is usually the runaway choice as a fan favorite for wings. Thank you for respecting this city with great camera work and truly trying to soak in each unique part that we have to offer here in WNY.

Never had a dish that I didn't like, they've got options for everybody. Authentic cuisine from East & west Africa, Thailand, Japanese, Burmese, chinese cultures and delicious baked goods to top it off. Hopefully you guys can visit back one day. 🥰

This Buffalo series has been incredible, and has also made us super hungry! Can’t wait for the Adirondack segment. Not sure how long you are in the area, but if you end up near Syracuse there is a small town on the beautiful Salmon River called Pulaski. You can hike at the tallest waterfall in NY (Salmon River Falls), eat amazing pizza at Two Brothers Pizza, and eat another great beef on weck sandwich at LD’s on the River. It’s a picturesque small town that y’all would love-Kona too! 😃

Ontario Canada has allot of spectacular scenery as well. I used to travel to Midland Ontario for Business fairly often and always enjoyed the trip.

You guys are killing me… :) Being so close to the border, we were able to pop across the border for a few hours to patronize the wing establishments in Niagara Falls, NY. or in Buffalo. The pizza and roast beef looked absolutely delicious! Always made a stop over for food from winter trips skiing in Ellicottville before heading home across the border.

I grew up in “Elmwood Village” back when it was just “West Side” and on the edge of the Italian neighborhood. Got my haircuts at Vito’s, which is across the street from Watson’s. Pizza, beef on weck, Freddie’s Doughnuts, and wings (and fish fry) were food staples. Nice job capturing the flavor and flavors of the Queen City. In the olden days, every neighborhood had its pizzeria and several neighborhood bars, each with a warm hunk of roast beef for slicing and piling on a kummelweck roll (that was pretty much the bar menu). Local legend was that if they served food, they could be open on Sundays. Don’t know if this was true.

Love the Buffalo area! My favorite food is the Beef on Weck! Found out that you can't get that anywhere else because the salt on the weck ends up melting on the bread after a day or two and makes the bread wet, so it has to be used right away. So no shipping to other places. Curious why you didn't go to Anchor Bar for the buffalo wings. Have fun in the Adirondacks, they're beautiful!

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

Ooo we didn’t know that! Glad we got to try it there then! And we heard Anchor Bar wasn’t the best spot (of course, these are all opinions!) despite it being the original. We like to go more off the beaten path when we can!

You definitely found some iconic and traditional foods of this area but we also have a HUGE culturally diverse population and the restaurants reflect this: Mediterranean, authentic Greek and Italian as well as some great Chinese/ Asian food. And you can’t miss out on the good ole southern cooking favorites!! Great video!!

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

Definitely! The point of this video was to share the iconic foods, but we love foods from other cultures.

Why didn't you check out the Falls from the Canadian side ?! Funny that I didn't realize that peanut sticks started in Bflo (it's okay to let the peanuts fall- that's why they're encrusted with them). I love living here, and have enjoyed great food away from here. Your video was well put together and hope you return to Western New York again soon, whether I have the pleasure of seeing you or not... Happy traveling!

Wish I would have known you guys were doing this. Two blocks from my house when you were at Paula’s. Should have gone across the street and had a loganberry and charbroiled Sahlen hotdog at Teds. Would have liked to have met you and guided you around a little. We do food and football better than most around here. Good representation of our area. Thanks

I know this video is old news by now, but I just watched it as I slowly catch up on your back library. I was especially excited for this one as I currently live on the shores of Lake Erie, not too far from Buffalo. You guys are so good at what you do, you almost made me consider giving the pizza out here another chance. Growing up in eastern NY where NY style reigns supreme, I consider that sweetness in the sauce of Buffalo style pizza an unforgivable crime against pizza. You nailed it with the cup-style pepperoni, though - those pools of cheese and pepperoni oil are to die for (probably literally, so let's not tell my doctor how much I enjoy it!). Awesome video, as always. p.s. As a lifelong Bills fans, the shots of their stadium made me happy. So very happy. :)

@AdventuresofAplusK 2 года назад

We really really loved Buffalo style pizza! The sweet sauce isn’t how we’d prefer it either, but it worked for us! We love NY style the best probably. But like you mentioned the pepperoni on the Buff style is hard to beat! I love flying the drone over stadiums. I can’t always do it, but when I can it is so fun and cool! If you haven’t seen our Nashville episode I was able to fly over the Titans stadium as well!

@michaelmdunham3289 2 года назад

Oh and glad you got into the Elmwood Village because its a very nice area, but for sponge candy the best place to go is PARKSIDE CANDY, building is very old and looks the same as it did in the 1920s, such a beautiful establishment it was used in the film the Natural.

@AdventuresofAplusK Год назад

We'll have to check it out next time. Thanks!

@utmorpheus 2 года назад

As a resident of the Buffalo area you hit the jackpot here. There are no better donuts than Paula's, no better pizza than Imperial(fight me), top 3 of Wings at Bar-Bill but they have the best roast beef hands down, and Watson's sponge candy is in a lifelong battle with Fowler's for the best. I could not have picked any better places to visit. 10/10

Great video and excellent selections in terms of the best examples of the best local foods in the area. The only consensus on what place has the best versions of each food, is that there is no consensus. If you ever make your way back through Western New York or down the road to the finger lakes in the summer time, you may enjoy a few sites outside the city, like Griffis Sculpture Park about an hour south of the city. It was the first Sculpture Park in the US and is 425 acres of amazing sculptures from over 100 artists. The giant mosquito, giant snake, and Easter Island type head you can sit in are my personal favorites. Letchworth State Park, also known as the Grand Canyon of the East, is another great local destination with amazing views and some great activities life white water rafting, hiking the 60+ miles of trails, hot air balloon rides, and camping. Good luck on your future travels wherever they may take you!

Buffalo native as well and I'll echo what everyone else is saying -- you were appreciative of the culture that gave rise to the items you tried. I always say that if you're hungry in Buffalo, it's your own fault. I've traveled quite a bit, and I think (as objectively as I can) that Buffalo has some of the best regional food in the country. You really hit the high points and did a good job of showing them off. Good critiques as well -- not slavishly "foodie" but clear-eyed assessments, nicely filmed. The last part could make my friends understand why I never, ever share sponge candy.

Buffalo has some great food, plain and simple! Also has great Polish food at the Polish Villa, a good hot dog at Ted's, and you can also get some great subs and pizza, but definitely has it's own style of pizza, of which it is the greasiest because of the pepperoni. It is not Upstate NY, but Western NY, has more of a midwestern feel to it than East Coast.
