Went to O3 on Elmwood with my wife yesterday. We had been there before, but it did not seem to live up to some of the hype I had heard. Yesterday’s meal was terrific. I think we just ordered wrong the first time…

Went for lunch last summer and it was _meh_ so maybe it deserves a second try.

It does. We had the brunch yesterday, it was killer. Also, their guacomole and chips were great.

For anyone that enjoys real BBQ, which is pretty much non-existent in NY, check this place out over on county pass transit rd in clarence. BBQ is the best I’ve ever had in NY and would rival some places in texas.

I had the brisket sandwich and it was perfect, the girl had the wild bill sandwich which was ok, but not hardcore BBQ.

I haven’t updated this in a while but I’ve been a lot of fantastic places over the last few months, here’s a few shots:

Start off local: Left Bank not too long ago, pork tenderloin with cranberry glaze, pretty good, but I have had better, I was a little dissapointed because of all the hype people make about this place.

 ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1498_zps1bc3b952.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1498_zps1bc3b952.jpg)

Next was my stop in Austin Texas, everything was fucking delicious where I went  
This brisket was out of fucking control, holy fuck it melted!!!

 ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1526_zps55bf8967.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1526_zps55bf8967.jpg)

The people at the restaurant were really cool, they asked where I was from then sang this song involving Buffalo, actually kind of awkward lol

Followed by some delicious Tex Mex

 ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1531_zpsf0556f9a.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1531_zpsf0556f9a.jpg)  
 ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1532_zps2524e79c.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1532_zps2524e79c.jpg)  
 ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1533_zps9b0ea157.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1533_zps9b0ea157.jpg) \<-- This isn’t really Mexican (I don’t think), but fucking awesome

Everywhere I go I must try the calamari, I’ve probably had over 100 different calamari appetizers, this was pretty good, but nothing to shit my pants over

 ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1566_zps6606f228.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1566_zps6606f228.jpg)

This Steak was outstanding, and it should be for 65$

 ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1567_zpsb72df76c.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1567_zpsb72df76c.jpg)

I noticed all the steakhouses in Austin were priced almost the same

Next stop Vegas!!! My FAV trip every year, besides raving my balls off, the foods always amazing, and this year I made a point to check out a few of Ramsay’s restaurants.

Portobella Burger, best burger I’ve ever had hands down, as it should be since it was $30

Next Stop was his Pub at Caesar’s

 ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1766_zps4eb01db1.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1766_zps4eb01db1.jpg)

This is the best fucking mixed drink I’ve ever had, some type of spin on an appletini, had about 7 or 8, ran the tab out the ass

 ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1767_zpse518a9b0.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1767_zpse518a9b0.jpg)

Prime Rib Sandwich, also outstanding

 ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1768_zps2d795511.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1768_zps2d795511.jpg)

Then came FRI SAT SUN night, 7pm to 7am, RAGE RAGE RAGEEEEEEEE, no food but still fun!

 ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1790_zpsd98c2c4d.jpg](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d45/mikemar319/IMG_1790_zpsd98c2c4d.jpg)

Can’t wait for next year!!! I have a couple more cities I’ve been to with some good eats, but haven’t uploaded the pics yet.

If anyone on here ever wants to travel someplace random for food or whatever, hit me up!

If you’re in Syracuse, check out [http://secondnorthdeli.com/](http://secondnorthdeli.com/) - they have a great London Broil & make home made potato chips. :tup:

It’s located in a :tif: area though.

I think it is best to keep the places local to the forum members at least…I mean who really gives a shit about a restaurant in Wichita, Kansas…
