Maybe they were Canadians.

Is it possible to bring up both Logue and Phillips, as kind of a just in case? At what other position could they sacrifice? OL maybe?

You’re absolutely right Trans! Can I call you Trans? Me neither

Why Phillips?

Has he been there long enough?

What’s the roster move, Logue or Phillips?

He roots for his team, you know, like the guy that inexplicably covers himself in mustard and ketchup. Or a grown man that dresses up like Elvis. Personally I think all these antics and costumes are childish. It is all about “look at me!”, it’s fans trying to get on television. As far as Fireman Ed is concerned, costume aside, ha has been honored by the NFL for his heroism on 9/11. I find it disrespectful for you or anyone else to vilify him on the anniversary of that event.

Yup

Have no idea what that means.

Cuisine is a reflection of immigrants, you may correct me if I’m wrong, but back then the main ancestry groups were Italian, Irish Polish, German, African, with a smattering of other. Not a great deal of Asians or Mexican. How many Cuban restaurants are there in Northern California?

I don’t disagree with anything you have written. I have not spent much time in Buffalo since I left a long time ago, still have family there, I get back every few years. This is conjecture on my part, based on observations over years. I’m curious as to your opinion. Buffalo had serious economic problems for decades, starting with the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway, my family was involved with shipping on the Great Lakes. The Seaway made Buffalo superfluous. Heavy industry like steel blew themselves up. In the 1970s there was a sign on I-90 East that said, “Last one to leave turn out the lights”. My point is restaurants are a luxury, not a necessity. Economics and disposable income play a role . Buffalo is and has been making a comeback. With that comes entrepreneurs. Even the crazy ones that are restaurateurs. Hard business, bad margins, bad hours, you have to love it. Awards and recognition help put people in the seats and believe me everything helps. Michelin stars used to be hard to get, way easier today for a multitude of reasons. A city like Buffalo gets lost in the shuffle. It was on hard times for a long time. So I’m not putting much weight on Michelin stars, or the lack there of. I’m sure there are young creative chefs there. I admire the ferocity of your defense of that city. Since this is a Bills site, my question is, can you play defensive tackle?

Thought about your experience for a bit, I’ve never been a big steakhouse guy, but I get it. Good steakhouses have dry aging rooms. The environment of a dry aging room is hard, if not impossible to replicate. An example is the famous Brooklyn Steakhouse Peter Luger, good steak. They have a second location in Great Neck on Long Island, it’s not the same. They can do everything exactly the same, but they can’t control the environment that affects the dry aging. That restaurant in Laurel, aside from good preparation, more than likely took great care with the dry aging and what ever environmental factors created a unique flavor.

Larry Forgione, worked with him, friend of mine. Pretty sure I’ve bounced Marc on my knee, not recently however. We had breakfast at a dinner in Hamburg a couple of years ago. The corned beef hash was unbelievable. Place was packed, can’t remember b the name.

Oh boy are you gonna get it!

The River Cafe, Brooklyn USA. It was a long time ago, one great young chef after another. Back when Andrew Friedman, author of, Chefs, Drugs and Rock & Roll, called it the most important restaurant in the world. It was fun and exciting.

Is it just the Channel Islands you hate or is it all British Crown Dependency? By the way most NFL fans in northern and central New Jersey are Giants fans, southern New Jersey are more Eagles fans. The Jets fan base, because of there days at Shea Stadium, are located in New York. More explicitly Queens and Long Island.

Wow

Happy birthday! Now can we get the schedule updated?

More than a little funny.

Well said, however, having run a Michelin-starred restaurant and having worked with James Beard award- winning- chefs, not to mention having known James Beard himself, regional ethnic cuisine should not be discounted. One of the best meals I’ve ever had was at my cousin’s wedding at a Polish Hall in North Tonawanda.

Has anyone really named a kid Adolf since 1939?

Now let’s go beat the Jets!

I’m making an assumption here, but your experience is with a bunch of college students, over a relatively short time. My experience was as a member of a community. By the way, I went to college in Syracuse and I felt the same way, compared to Buffalo, there was nothing to do there. After some time to reflect and having gone back and visited Syracuse, it is a perfectly nice city.

I’ve been to both Giants and Jets games, have had mostly good experiences. The one bad experience was a long time ago at Shea Stadium, some one gave me tickets to final game of the season that didn’t matter. There were a lot of drunks, I think some of that had to do with it being a meaningless game. I took a date, to impress her, the seats were in the press box. In spite of the fighting drunks, it worked out, she married me. The only time I’ve ever been accosted at a game was at Hard Rock Stadium a few years ago. The perpetrator was a drunk female Bills fan that decided I was a Dolphins fan, after a Dolphin TD she decided to beat me with a foam finger (don’t worry I’m fine). She did not stop until one of her drunk friends intervened.
