Repeat after me: Buffalo is more than just wings. While we might give the occasional eye roll to constantly being tied to our famous poultry dish, we have to admit they’re delicious, and while there is far more to do in Buffalo than chow down on good food and drinks, people need to eat! When the hunger hits, here are 9 Buffalo staples you should have tried by now.
This Buffalo specialty is one that locals love and out of towners crave as soon as they leave the 716. There's just something about the pairing of juicy beef, spicy horseradish, and a salty kimmelweck bun that makes out taste buds go crazy.
I mean... obviously. You can order chicken wings at just about any establishment here in Buffalo. While we might not want to hang our hat on the "Buffalo wing," nobody does it better than us. (Especially at these local spots!)
