I keep things honest with y’all when doing these. I never even heard of Snyder Bar & Grill in Amherst until Buffalo News sportswriter Jay Skurski suggested we meet up there to have wings before taping a podcast immediately after. I get countless recommendations from fans of places on Twitter and can confidently say this … Read More

The Blackthorn Pub is one of if not South Buffalo’s most popular bars and compared to Seneca Street competition, certainly the most upscale. An insanely popular spot among locals there’s a full menu and tons of room to sit at a table for dinner, enjoy a large patio during summer or plop yourself at the … Read More
My parents taught me to never judge a book by its cover and fortunately I heeded those lessons. Unless you’re from or at least know the neighborhood well, Klimek’s Tavern in North Tonawanda is not an enticing place, outside or inside.

Don’t worry, KO Sports Bar & Grill. I won’t penalize you for being closed on Sundays despite the internet claiming you’re open. It’s a lesson I learned the hard way after an Orchard Park to North Buffalo early Sunday evening drive to KO was wasted. But hey, I got to see some interesting characters strolling … Read More
There’s enough context in the following paragraphs to need a tantalizing lead in. You already know what’s coming, so just read on already… PROS: These were good wings—well above average. I got both medium and medium Cajun and both were cooked well with a solid amount of crisp without blatantly overdoing it for effect. The … Read More

I taped an episode of the Moran-Alytics Podcast recently here with Joe Yerdon from The Athletic and while most appreciative for … Read More
Most my wing trips are at least semi planned out. Buffalo Tap House was definitely not one of them. After spending a Saturday afternoon on the Hertel Avenue strip with a buddy hanging out at a couple patio bars enjoying the day we eventually ventured towards downtown. We met up with more friends at the … Read More
