As a native Buffalonian, it is so tough to get good wings (or as they call them everywhere else in the U.S., Buffalo Wings), beef on weck, or any of the multitude of WNY goodies we grew up on. While I am within 4 hours of a Wegmans (and don't think I won't make that pilgrimage...), I'd like to compile a list of Buffalo restaurants throughout the U.S. that will help satisfy those Buffalo culinary urges. Please let me know if you have any to add - all are welcome! :)
Raleigh, NC:
Buffalo Brothers - 2 locations. Owned by 2 guys from Batavia - great pizza & wings. All you can eat wings on Saturday afternoons? OK then. Blue cheese, no ranch.
Blinco's - owned by a guy from Lewiston. He has switched allegiances from the Sabres to the Hurricanes, although I think he still has a soft spot for the blue and gold. Beef on weck, spiedies, and its own garbage plate (called a Hurricane Plate). At least it's served with Zweigles dogs and not Brightleaf.
Phoenix, AZ:
Native New Yorker - several locations in PHX area, and now branching out into Washington and Texas. Going chain on me.
Atlanta, GA
Barker's Red Hots - this was right across the street from my hotel on my last business trip. I only learned of its Buffalo wonderfulness as someone tried to explain they had beef on "wick" (grrrr.....). They serve Sahlen's hot dogs, polish sausage, italian sausage, loganberry (marketed as Crystal Beach....awesome), and yes, beef on WECK. Making sure next time I have to go to Atlanta on work I make sure I get there.
Denver, CO
Big Hoss BBQ - OK...this isn't Buffalo food, but this is great BBQ in the Rockies. And the owner went to my high school. And he gave us free shots of whiskey when watching a Bills game. Shameless plug.
Hilton Head, SC
Lee Wood's - another high school alum bringing Buffalo goodies to the Southeast. Wings, beef on weck, and the house specialty chicken wing soup.
