The Best Things in Life Are Free


While we're talking about Choco-Logo, let me tell you about their new truffle. A creation made with Cinco de Mayo and Mother's Day in mind, but perfect for any occasion, it's the Strawberry Margarita Truffle. This morning I was able to taste a sample, and it was delicious. I found it to be very well-balanced, and the sea salt sprinkled on the top was not only in keeping with the theme, but also a good addition to the overall flavor profile. Also available for Mother's Day are luscious chocolate covered strawberries, made to order. You'll have to place your order for them by noon on May 9 and pick them up on the 10, but that's perfect since you'll already be there for the tour. Check out their website for more information.
See you there!

It has recently been taken over by Jimmy Hambridge, who has been involved with the establishment since it’s opening as the Brew in October of 2006, actually a day before that horrible storm. The Ji …
It should come as no surprise to YUM readers, that I have a passion for spices. You can expect to find me foraging through the city’s ethnic markets, hunting for treasures with which to restock my spice cabinet. The more exotic the spices, the more excited I am to try them. And excited is exactly the way I felt when I first discovered zatar.
Not to be confused with Za’atar (which is a sort of hybrid of thyme-marjoram-oregano), zatar is a traditional Middle Eastern aromatic …
If you’re craving something sweet, you’ve picked the right time to do it. Starting on Monday, June 23rd, Choco-Logo Confectionery Design will be kicking off its annual summer sale. Choco-Logo, whose name is modeled after “Coca Cola,” was, up until recently, the only chocolate factory shop in downtown Buffalo that had captured the attention of people from all over Western New York.
Specializing in corporate gifts, custom logo chocolates and private label products, Choco- …
Italian restaurants are much loved here in Western New York. People from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds cherish the hearty, homestyle flavors of this Mediterranean cuisine. However, for the large group of immigrant and first-generation Italians here in Buffalo, several of the local Italian restaurants miss the mark.
With a mother from Calabria (southern Italy) and some training in the culinary arts, I fall into this category of disenchanted Italians yearning for tru …
