thebandit27 Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Finally! Totally agree. Wings are overrated. Since the original owner sold it, it's staffed by major league aholes. I'll maintain that the two best wing places in Buffalo are Elmo's and Caputi's.
Roundybout Posted April 21, 2017 Author Posted April 21, 2017 I'll maintain that the two best wing places in Buffalo are Elmo's and Caputi's. Elmo's are good. Franco's are not bad either in a pinch.
Helpmenow Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Finally! Totally agree. Wings are overrated. Since the original owner sold it, it's staffed by major league aholes. No we're talking No we're talking Joe and Marcy had it and sold it.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 I always just order "hot," and I think they're delicious. Each year, the waitress warns me, "Have you had the hot here before? Because they're very hot." I'm guessing they've gotten burned by people returning them because they're too hot for them? I always find the wings to have a perfect skin texture and the wings are always juicy and not over-sauced. Just Frank's and butter isn't my thing. I hate paying someone else to give me something I can make myself. I like their flavor a lot and the heat is perfect for me. Maybe I'm just getting lucky, but I'll continue to go until that changes. maybe I was unlucky
Mark Vader Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 Old West Cinnamon Rolls in Pismo Beach, California. Best Cinnamon Rolls Ever! Pismo beach is a fun beach town to visit if you are ever in central California. It's worth the time. A favorite breakfast place of mine is The Original Pancake House. They are a nationwide chain, but not in every state. I believe they are in Buffalo & Rochester. They have a great variety of pancakes on the menu. The Apple Pancake is incredible.

BADOLBILZ Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 This is one of the best posts I've seen in my tenure, here. Thanks! Thanks, man.....I love hot food. I got a particular problem with the beef vindaloo at India House......if I'm home I order at least once per week at the India House Express by U of R and get a beef vindaloo curry bowl to go and ask for it extra, extra spicy......then pick up an 18 pack of toaster-naan at Costco nearby and make wraps for a couple days.....my family are all healthy vegetarian types so I gotta' fend for myself on raunchy meat dishes.......everywhere else I travel it seems like the Indian places only serve the traditional goat(which I don't like consistency of) rather than the sacred cow, but Rochester has several that Indian places that serve beef. I find the extra spicy ordered kung pao at chang's is usually good everywhere too and fairly easy to find on the road........most chinese places they just throw the sauce in the wok to order but I'm guessing they marinate theirs....tastes like it anyway.......I don't like peanuts on their own but man are they are perfect in that dish.
Mark Vader Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Love the original Pancake house. We have one of these right by my house, but I have never been. Too many great pancake options in Pittsburgh, including these which are the greatest ever: https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/washington-whispers/2009/05/30/obama-calls-on-pittsburgh-to-prepare-memorial-day-pancakes Give them a try. They have a great variety.

mead107 Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Done that at games. Heat them up first thing in the morning. Been several years.

Roundybout Posted April 24, 2017 Author Posted April 24, 2017 Would you put Pancake House above or below IHOP?

Mark Vader Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Would you put Pancake House above or below IHOP? IHOP does not belong in the same sentence with Original Pancake House.
Roundybout Posted April 24, 2017 Author Posted April 24, 2017 way above IHOP does not belong in the same sentence with Original Pancake House. Good to know I've lived 5 minutes from a pancake house but never have gotten to make my way there.
