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 sauteed 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.

As a culinary capital, Buffalo is an unsung American hero. Home of the iconic Buffalo wing, of course, it's also a city of sandwiches, pizza, hot dogs, and spag parm. It's where creativity meets simple food to produce iconic eats copied endlessly, from fish fries to beef on weck, to sponge candy and more. With this entertaining cookbook, the companion to Buffalo Everything: A Guide to Eating in "The Nickel City," Arthur Bovino shows home cooks how to bring the best of Upstate New York into their kitchens. Whether you're hosting a get- together to watch the game or in need of some weeknight comfort food, The Buffalo New York Cookbook has you covered. Recipes include: * Buffalo Chicken Parm * Stuffed Banana Peppers * Buffalo Wing Pierogi * The Definitive Tom & Jerry * Pit- Roasted Barbeque Buffalo Wings
