@@AdventuresofAplusK we can certainly be a bit hostile to outsiders, having been slighted or undersold by people who have either never been or couldn't see past their preconceived notions (see: Alton Brown, Hot Ones). You, however, went an entire episode without piling on the hackneyed riffs about the snow or the Super Bowl losses. And though I'm not familiar with the pizzeria being from the north towns, 2 out of 3 were the best of the best, and that ain't bad!

I'm FROM Buffalo and it's both. Upstate is all of the region, Western NY is a sub-section of Upstate. Both are loose designations. The traditional name of the region is the Niagara Frontier. This was then replaced with the Greater Niagara designation. VERY recently, the Niagara Frontier and CA regions were merged to a new "western NY" designation. And parts of the Buffalo region, like Wyoming County, were removed from the region and given to the Finger Lakes. So some of the core regions associated with Buffalo and "Western NY" are now designated as not Western anymore. But areas farther east are. It's a mess. But all of those regions are equally Upstate NY. Upper NY is the northern region above Upstate.

The idea that anything other than Buffalo proper was the WNY of Upstate NY is something no one even mentioned until recently. It's some new "millenials don't know geography" thing that seems to have just come about through no one learning about their state anymore.

Not sure how long you are in the area, but if you end up near Syracuse there is a small town on the beautiful Salmon River called Pulaski. You can hike at the tallest waterfall in NY (Salmon River Falls), eat amazing pizza at Two Brothers Pizza, and eat another great beef on weck sandwich at LD’s on the River. It’s a picturesque small town that y’all would love-Kona too! 😃

I grew up in “Elmwood Village” back when it was just “West Side” and on the edge of the Italian neighborhood. Got my haircuts at Vito’s, which is across the street from Watson’s. Pizza, beef on weck, Freddie’s Doughnuts, and wings (and fish fry) were food staples. Nice job capturing the flavor and flavors of the Queen City. In the olden days, every neighborhood had its pizzeria and several neighborhood bars, each with a warm hunk of roast beef for slicing and piling on a kummelweck roll (that was pretty much the bar menu). Local legend was that if they served food, they could be open on Sundays. Don’t know if this was true.

Miss the original Buff. wings, Sicilian style pizza and the home town favorite Beef on Weck...but only with Miller's horseradish. Elmwood district still looks great as well and had many great times there while attending Buffalo State College and beyond. Great couple and wish you both the best in your travels!!!

He ended up closing his business and moving back to Lewiston to take care of his parents. We're hoping he comes back someday.

I know this video is old news by now, but I just watched it as I slowly catch up on your back library. I was especially excited for this one as I currently live on the shores of Lake Erie, not too far from Buffalo. You guys are so good at what you do, you almost made me consider giving the pizza out here another chance. Growing up in eastern NY where NY style reigns supreme, I consider that sweetness in the sauce of Buffalo style pizza an unforgivable crime against pizza. You nailed it with the cup-style pepperoni, though - those pools of cheese and pepperoni oil are to die for (probably literally, so let's not tell my doctor how much I enjoy it!). Awesome video, as always. p.s. As a lifelong Bills fans, the shots of their stadium made me happy. So very happy. :)

We really really loved Buffalo style pizza! The sweet sauce isn’t how we’d prefer it either, but it worked for us! We love NY style the best probably. But like you mentioned the pepperoni on the Buff style is hard to beat! I love flying the drone over stadiums. I can’t always do it, but when I can it is so fun and cool! If you haven’t seen our Nashville episode I was able to fly over the Titans stadium as well!

Why didn't you check out the Falls from the Canadian side ?! Funny that I didn't realize that peanut sticks started in Bflo (it's okay to let the peanuts fall- that's why they're encrusted with them). I love living here, and have enjoyed great food away from here. Your video was well put together and hope you return to Western New York again soon, whether I have the pleasure of seeing you or not... Happy traveling!

The Anchor Bar is also where celery sticks tradition originated as well, if I'm not mistaken. It was an off-the -cuff idea to put these on the side. I used to live within a mile of the pizza place and never knew its specialness. So many pizza places!

Great video and excellent selections in terms of the best examples of the best local foods in the area. The only consensus on what place has the best versions of each food, is that there is no consensus. If you ever make your way back through Western New York or down the road to the finger lakes in the summer time, you may enjoy a few sites outside the city, like Griffis Sculpture Park about an hour south of the city. It was the first Sculpture Park in the US and is 425 acres of amazing sculptures from over 100 artists. The giant mosquito, giant snake, and Easter Island type head you can sit in are my personal favorites. Letchworth State Park, also known as the Grand Canyon of the East, is another great local destination with amazing views and some great activities life white water rafting, hiking the 60+ miles of trails, hot air balloon rides, and camping. Good luck on your future travels wherever they may take you!

Buffalo native as well and I'll echo what everyone else is saying -- you were appreciative of the culture that gave rise to the items you tried. I always say that if you're hungry in Buffalo, it's your own fault. I've traveled quite a bit, and I think (as objectively as I can) that Buffalo has some of the best regional food in the country. You really hit the high points and did a good job of showing them off. Good critiques as well -- not slavishly "foodie" but clear-eyed assessments, nicely filmed. The last part could make my friends understand why I never, ever share sponge candy.

Buffalo has some great food, plain and simple! Also has great Polish food at the Polish Villa, a good hot dog at Ted's, and you can also get some great subs and pizza, but definitely has it's own style of pizza, of which it is the greasiest because of the pepperoni. It is not Upstate NY, but Western NY, has more of a midwestern feel to it than East Coast.
