Buffalo Cuisine

One thing that is really great about Buffalo is the food.  There is bound to be at least one restaurant for any type of food that a person is looking for: Chinese, Thai, Italian, Greek, Arab, Mexican, Indian...the list goes on.  Buffalo also offers many locally owned restaurants that are many times favored over the national chains.  Not only does their food genuinely taste good, or can offer something unique that can't be found anywhere else in the area, but it also has to do with the overwhelming support that Buffalo locals have for their own city.  Some local favorites include Louie's Texas Red Hots, Jim's Steakout, Mighty Taco, Chef's, and Anchor Bar: the actual restaurant where buffalo wings were created.

Buffalo features their great food in the many food festivals hosted in the city during the summer months.  The Taste of Buffalo offers food from around 50 restaurants and is the largest two-day food festival in the United States.  The National Chicken Wing Festival is also a huge attraction, with 71,000 people attending in 2011 and 500,000 wings served.  Restaurants from Buffalo and all over the country come to the festival to showcase their best wings.  Buffalo also offers several culture-specific food festivals including the Polish Festival, Italian Festival, and Lebanese Festival. 

Buffalo is so diverse when it comes to food you'll never get bored and there will always be something new to try.  Even the pickiest eater can find something they like here!
