What kinds of restaurants are located in Buffalo?

Of course we are known for buffalo wings and people are always asking, “Where’s the Anchor Bar?”, which is the restaurant who created buffalo wings. There is also another local specialty called beef and weck, which is thinly sliced roast beef on a hard crusty roll with coarse salt and caraway seeds on it and it’s dipped into the juice from the beef and you put horseradish on it. It’s a very distinct roast beef sandwich that they don’t make anywhere else in the world. It’s been featured on the Food Network and several food publications. Buffalo is also known for it’s charbroiled hot dogs, probably the best known is a place called Ted’s where they make foot long hot dogs over an open flame right in the restaurant. Jane and Michael Stern, who do food writing for the New Yorker magazine and have written the books “Road Food” and “Eat Your Way Across the USA”, say there is no place in the country that is as fanatical about frankfurters and hot dogs as our area. There is some very fine dining as well. There is a fantastic French restaurant in downtown Buffalo called Rue Franklin. I would also recommend Oliver’s, Papaya, and a wonderful little Italian place called Brodo. We have a wonderful sushi restaurant called Kuni’s. And there’s a new steakhouse downtown called Buffalo Chophouse.
