Is there anything considered very Buffalo you don’t embrace?

[BillsPride12]

I don't have anything against them and was super happy for the team and fans that they just won the championship but I've never been able to get into the Bandits

It's basic and unpretentious.  That's what makes it good besides being doughy, bready...

Thats what makes it awful and heavy ...New Haven #1, New York #2, Bar Pie#3, Neopolitan#4, Detriot #5(the dough much lighter and airier than Buffalo).. that's it, that's the end of acceptable pizza styles...Buffalo does not make the list

I have yet to try New Haven pizza, but I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about it.

I will take a good western New York pizza over any of those choices. Though I think Chicago deep dish is truly disgusting. Soup in a bread bowl, no thank you.

 

edit: The best pizza I’ve ever had was in north Boston. This little hole in the wall pizza shop that I can’t remember the name of at this time. You have to get there early before they sell out, which is around 3pm, because once it’s gone it closes until the next day. I’ll try to look up the name of the place if anyone is interested.

Best pizza I’ve found

[May Day 10]

I don't think anything beats a proper New York style, although I find it doesn't fill me up.

 

 

I do like Buffalo style pizza though.  If it is messed up though, it is really bad.  I think you can get away with screwing up a NY style to some degree.

 

I lived in New Haven for awhile and that stuff didnt impress.

 

 

Never tried Detroit.  Going there this fall, Ill make sure I give it a shot.  

 

I did like Chicago style, but I consider that more of a lasagna than a pizza

Genny Cream Ale.  Genny anything TBH.

 

I agree re: Mighty Taco.  It's better than Taco Bell, but not much. At least it was the last time I ate it 30 years ago.

i had a cream ale at a hockey game recently. same with genny light.  it's not bad all.  at this point i think people say it just because.   on top of that, it's really more of a rochester thing.

The Goo Goo Dolls. Beyond overrated. 

 

I prefer to think of Rick James as our contribution to the world of music.

I agree - wayyyyyyy - too much cheese.

 

I tend to believe they are too much into their own popularity.  The crust is doughy and wet.  The sauce makes the crust soggy.  

[TheCockSportif]

Duff's.  I don't like 'em.

 

Koch's Golden Anniversary Beer.  (Guess it's a Rochester thing, but allegedly my grandparents bought them on the cheap by way of coupons back in the day).

 

'weck rolls.

 

Dyngus Day.  I actually love the aim of this, but outside of Buffalo you tell people about it, and they look at you like you have two or more heads.

i'm going to defend the beef on weck.  i think people are expecting too much from them.  it's a simple sandwich like a grilled cheese or a turkey sammy.  just solid eats that you know what you're getting.  had one yesterday.  solid.

I tried to talk my wife into having Rick's lyrics as part of our wedding vows in 2008.

That makes sense.  I’m a guy who loves salt, but usually avoids it.  The beef on weck is the perfect vehicle for that.

"Buffalo style" pizza....ain't it.

Go see his grave in Forest Lawn. Not ornate, but have to say 'Cocaine is a helluva drug!" at it. I did.

I thought Koch's was out of Dunkirk, NY. Koch's definitely NOT Rochester. Especially back in the day! Maybe it is now. 

 

Because it's all in the gravy.

 

Have you never been to South Bend?

Well that's the point, the beef on week was invented to be given away gratis in order to sell more beer from the bar.

Gary Mallaber flies under the radar as an excellent musician from Buffalo..

So my opinion is not valid because you disagree. I'm saying it just to say it, not because I feel that way. Got it.

 

Let me repeat. I've never had a Genesee product I've enjoyed in my life. Not one. Not in cans, not in bottles, not on draft, not regular Genny, not the Cream Ale, not Genny Light, not any of the things that are supposed to be more small batch, not when all I drank was cheap beer and not now when all I drink is expensive beer. In my opinion, Genesee beer sucks. Feel free to drink it yourself, plenty of people do.

Calm down, you're going to be just fine.
