Long shot cheese question if you grew up in Western NY...

[Anonymous]

From Williamsville. And while I'm joining in the craving for beef on weck and sponge candy and Duff's wings...I don't know the cheese you are talking about.

I'll add Anderson's Italian Ice to the Buffalo area required food list too.

If you ever have a craving for Buffalo food, check out Jimmy's Old Town Tavern in Herndon on Sundays during Bills season. They have beef on weck and pass around sponge candy.

I do have fond memories of the large rectangle boxes of government cheese that my grandmother used to pass on to us It is the change it weather- your natural inclination to 'bulk up' up for the winter is kicking in!

Did you attend Kenmore East High School?

Anderson's, mmm. The BEST fish sandwiches! The food in Buffalo is better than sex. Eight days a week.

Another T of T expat here. How about Kenny Field with the airplane, back when you could actually climb on it. Then we would explore the back part of the cemetery where the creepy dude who rode around everywhere on the black 10 speed with the handle bars turned up used to hang out. Always saw him there and at the front of Delaware Pool sitting in the curved side wall at the entrance and smoking cigarettes. We kids had a name for him, but I can't remember what. I digress.

OP, I think you are talking about Brick Cheese. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_cheese

Wegmans has it. Now goh git in yer cAr and git sum before da next SAbers gAme.

OP, my parents thought you might be talking about brick cheese too.

Ok, TOTs I am the 2nd poster, I went to private school, the Buffalo Seminary but my mom worked at Kenmore West. Ah, pp, Kenney Field: I totally remember being afraid to climb on the wing- I was so little- kinda stinks they dont let kids climb anymore. We used to go there with my dad all the time.

Thanks for the tip on Jimmy's Old Time Tavern, I am not that into football but might check it out just for the sponge candy and the beef on weck! I also miss Ted's Hot Dogs When Wegman's has them we buy the 2lb bag, yum Gosh, I have so much home town pride- way more than I had when I lived there! "The food in Buffalo is better than sex. Eight days a week." Too funny!

OP here! This thread brings back memories! The Brick Bar, the Towne restaurant for AFTER the Brick Bar, Thiel's ice cream, sponge candy, real Italian food (why isn't there any here inDC?) and wings.

I'm going to get some brick cheese, Herkimer and Longhorn and try them all, surely one of them is it.

Thanks so much everyone!

Jimmy's is great every once in a while, but I think every smoker who can't smoke in WNY goes there on pilgrimage. It will remind you of your youth, and the food is authentic Buffalo fare, but you will come out stinky and heavy lunged. Still, I cannot resist a friday night fish fry during lent. Only place around that does it right.

Damn you Buffalo people and your awesome food! Apparently you also have about the nicest people too, if our neighbors are any indication. Why is this? You all seem to have grown up so dirt poor, yet without bitterness and hatred. And what do you gives us? Great American cuisine. Oh and the Buffalo Bills.

It's the scrappy, underdog spirit that makes Buffalo great!

This list is awesome! Forgot about Anderson's for frozen custard (but I have the Dairy Godmother in Del Ray now), Ted's for hots was awesome (and right around the corner from my cousins) and who could say they are from Western New York without ever having eaten a garbage plate??? A must after any night in Ra-Cha-Cha.
