10 Picks For Local Restaurant Week

It’s the most wonderful time of the year again. For some, that’s Christmas; for foodies, it’s trying a variety of delicious items for a set price. Yes, Local Restaurant Week is upon us, and we couldn’t be more excited about the wonderful selection! From new and interesting items, to classics with great drink specials, here are a few of our picks this year!

Coco, 888 Main Street, Buffalo, NY 14202 Hours: Monday-Thursday 11AM-10PM, Friday 11AM-11PM, Saturday 5-11PM, Sunday 4:30-9PM

Coco is offering a 3 course meal for only, you guessed it, $20.17. The first course for most consists of garden salads, but not at Coco. You can choose from items like fried brie or sweet pea and pistachio arancini before moving on to their grilled shrimp with creamy manchego polenta or their cassoulet filled with hearty white bean ragout, rich duck sausage, slow roasted pork, pork tenderloin, and a walnut-sage crumb topping just to name a few. Top it all off with the third course, dessert! I say go for the popcorn crunch sundae for a mix of textures and flavors that will leave you wanting more.

Hamburg Brewing Company, 6553 Boston State Road, Hamburg, NY 14075 Hours: Monday-Tuesday 3-10PM, Wednesday-Saturday 12-10PM, Sunday 12-8PM

You get a beer with this deal. I repeat, you get beer! For the small price of $20.17 you’ll get a pint of beer, your choice of sandwich, and a 64oz. growler fill! As if the growler fill wasn’t a cool enough feature, the selection of sandwiches doesn’t disappoint either. Choose from the beef on weck, the salty prosciutto & goat cheese, or caprese. I’m not a big fan of the upcharge trends, but I’ll admit, some deals are worth it. For $30.17, you can swap the sandwich for a pizza and you’ll receive one brewery tour voucher, along with the beer and growler fill.

Hertel Avenue Poutine and Cream, 1488 Hertel Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14216 Hours: Sunday-Wednesday 11:30AM-10PM, Thursday 11:30AM-11PM, Friday 11:30AM-11PM, Saturday 11:30AM-11PM

Is there anything better than savory, salty and sweet combos? For $20.17 you can taste two small poutine dishes before enjoying two small scoops of their ice cream, or you can pay $30.17 for three small poutine dishes and three small scoops of their ice cream. There’s a long list of poutine flavors to choose from like pierogi four cheese, baked potato, general tao, nacho, and more!

Kennedy’s Cove, 9800 Main Street, Clarence, NY 14031 Hours: Monday-Saturday 4PM-10PM and Sunday 3PM-8PM

I’m picky when it comes to steak, and Kennedy’s Cove doesn’t get enough recognition for their tasty cuts at reasonable prices. The meal for $20.17 includes a baked potato or french fries, soup or salad then your choice of an entree. The entrees include an 8 oz. filet mignon, a 12 oz. strip steak, or an 8 oz. salmon fillet. Excellent prices for a steakhouse and how can you complain about those portions! You can also get the dinner for two for $50.17. This includes the baked potatoes or french fries, soups or salads, any two entrées, and two glasses of house wine.

Local Kitchen and Beer Bar, 88 W. Chippewa Street, Buffalo, NY 14202 Hours: Monday-Tuesday 4PM-10PM, Wednesday 4PM-11PM, Thursday-Saturday 4PM-11PM

For just $20.17 at Local, you can choose one app or one dessert with one entrée. Choose from fun appetizers like the queen city oysters (chicken wing dip stuffed fried hash potato balls rolled in crunchy city crust and locals’ remoulade) or the weck rolls (think beef on weck in egg roll form). There are a variety of entrees to choose from like the Busters’ bolognese made with tender bison and ricotta or the harvest quinoa made with maple quinoa pilaf tossed with apples, sweet potato chunks, craisins, onions, walnuts, and grilled chicken. If you go the sweet route, try the pumpkin cheesecake or the dolce crepe! Their $30.17 offer is a wonderful deal, too. You can get a juicy, grilled 14 oz ribeye steak served with grilled veg and golden smashed potatoes.

Mangia Ristorante & Caffe, 4264 N. Buffalo Road, Orchard Park, NY 14127 Hours: Monday-Thursday 11AM-10PM and Friday-Saturday 11AM-11PM

Mangia has been a long time favorite of mine, especially during the colder months, due to their lasagna. Their food is phenomenal! During Restaurant Week, all bottled house wines are $20.17 and for that price, you can also get a 3 course meal. You’ll receive a salad, your choice of entree (yes, their original lasagna is an option and I highly recommend it), and a house made cannoli for dessert. Not a big lasagna fan? There’s a chicken dish, a fish dish, and another pasta dish to choose from!

Tappo Restaurant, 338 Ellicott Street, Buffalo, NY 14203 Hours: Monday-Wednesday 5PM-10PM, Thursday 4:30PM-10PM, Friday-Saturday 4:30PM-11PM, Sunday 3PM-9PM

Tappo is known around the city for their fantastic wine deal ($16 for any bottle), but are you ready for their Restaurant Week deal? You’ll receive not one, but two entrées and a bottle of wine for $20.17. Yeah, you read that right! Their entree selection includes some of their popular menu items like their chicken milanese which consists of breaded, fried chicken cutlets with a spinach and arugula salad loaded with shallots, pickled cherry tomatoes, and orange with a lemon gastrique (caramelized sugar with a slight vinegar finish). This can be made gluten or dairy free if needed! You can also go with my personal favorite, their eggplant parmesan made with crispy, fried eggplant topped ricotta & mozzarella cheeses and baked. This dish is served with spaghetti and their traditional red sauce! Add two tossed salads or a cheese board to share for just $10 more.

This Little Pig, 4401 Transit Road, Williamsville, NY 14221 Hours: Tuesday-Thursday 11AM-9PM, Friday 11AM-10PM, Saturday 4PM-10PM, Sunday 10AM-2PM

The new kid on the block is already mixing things up a bit by stepping away from dinner and highlighting their tasty brunch menu! Anywhere I can get a Bloody Mary as part of the deal is a winner in my book. You can choose from a variety of entrees and an extra for $20.17. You’ll also get a complimentary breakfast bread basket for your table to hold you over until your food comes. The entrees include salads like their chopped avocado BLT salad with lettuce, diced tomato, cucumber, crispy bacon, croutons, drizzled with an avocado dressing, pizzas like their Mexican breakfast pizza with egg, stuffed pepper, chorizo, hot and sweet pepper, smoked jalapeño sauce, caramelized onion, smoked mozzarella and cotija cheese, cilantro, radish, and cucumber-avocado salad, and many others! The extras aren’t super boring like toast. That list includes items like mimosas, wine, cheesy grits, thick-cut bacon, mac and cheese, and more.

Webster’s Bistro & Bar, 102 Webster Street, North Tonawanda, NY 14120 Hours: Monday-Thursday 4:30PM-9PM and Friday-Saturday 4:30PM-10PM

Webster’s is by far my favorite French restaurant. Not only am I always impressed with the food, but you can’t compete with their extremely fair pricing. For restaurant week, you can choose two courses for $20.17, three courses with glass of house wine or beer for $30.17, or all four courses with glass of house wine or beer for $40.17. Courses include their roasted pumpkin and house sausage soup, salads, entrees like their seared duck breast with spiced beet puree with ginger and sage roasted brussel sprouts with caramelized onions, and the Profiterole for dessert (pâte à choux puff, aka their cream puff with vanilla cream, chocolate sauce and fruit). If the duck wouldn’t be your first pick, there’s a steak dish, a salmon dish, and a chicken dish available.

Chocolate Bar, 114 W. Chippewa Street, Buffalo, NY 14202 Hours: Monday-Wednesday 11AM-10:30PM, Thursday-Saturday 11AM-12AM, Sunday 4-10:30PM

With new restaurants appearing what seems to be weekly, we need to remember not to forget about the classics. Chocolate Bar has a wonderful deal featuring 3 courses for $20.17. You can choose a soup or salad for your first course, an entree, and a dessert. The entrees include their filet mignon served with roasted potatoes and asparagus, their famous chicken and waffles made with their fried chicken breast and malt battered waffles, mascarpone cheese, honey, berries, & candied pecans, and more like pasta and fresh seafood. I highly recommend topping off your meal with their crème brulee. They’re also offering $5 glasses of wine and $18.95 for a bottle,in addition to the food specials!

Air Fryer Recipes That Are Both Healthy and Delicious

Healthy and Delicious Air Fryer Recipes To Try

It’s a new year, and everyone seems to be looking for ways to get healthy. These air fryer recipes will help you do just that. An electric air fryer is a fairly new kitchen device that circulates hot air around food to cook it. It also a fast way to cook, without all of the hassle.

It’s a great alternative to traditional frying with oil, and you can make everything from fried chicken to french fries. I have even seen Pinterest air fryer recipes where you can use your air fryer to make cupcakes, and apple crisps.
