Buffalo isn't just a city full of great wings. There is a great hot dog
tradition, from Greek- originated "Texas red hots" to year-round
charcoal-grilling at Ted's that puts Manhattan's dirty water dogs to
shame. This is also a city of great sandwiches. It's a place where
capicola gets layered on grilled sausage, where sautéed dandelions
traditionally make up the greens in a comestible called steak-
in-the-grass, and chicken fingers pack into soft Costanzo's sub rolls
with Provolone, tomato, lettuce, blue cheese dressing, and Frank's
RedHot Sauce to become something truly naughty.
Food and travel writer Arthur Bovino ate his research, taking the reader
to the bars, the old-school Polish and Italian-American eateries, the
Burmese restaurants, and the new-school restaurants tapping into the
region's rich agricultural bounty. With all this experience under his
belt (and stretching it), Bovino has created the essential guide to food
in Buffalo.
