Buffalo: city of good eaters

So the folks at Esquire magazine must think Western New Yorkers burp and fart a lot. Which we do….but two of the reasons for that are also reasons for us to be proud.

Esquire likes to come out with lists of the best restaurants. Usually, the places on those lists are fancy-schmancy….you know, the ones that charge you $17 dollars for a piece of lettuce. But now Esquire has a list we can relate to. The best fast food in America. And we have not one, but two local institutions on the list.

Ted’s Hot Dogs and Mighty Taco both got rave reviews from the top chefs who came up with the list. Hearing the news filled my heart with pride. Or maybe that was the heartburn from a Super Mighty.

So the next time you visit one of them, and over-indulge, and as a result contribute some greenhouse gases to the environment, and your buddies give you a hard time….just tell them you’re helping to spread the word about the latest reason to take pride in our hometown.

  1. How is Mighty Taco considered good? They put a slice of cheese on their tacos -- sooo disgusting. I'd have to be Mighty drunk to eat there.

  2. Best part about the Mighty Pack, you can lose one between the seats, find it 3 days later and it still tastes just as good!

  3. Why does everyone post anonymously?
