I put this in network-wide to encourage our fellow North Americans to come visit. Anyhow, if you’ve never been, part of Delaware Ave and Niagara Square gets shut down for a weekend-long festival. Live music and over 50 restaurants with booths set up offering their best 4 dishes in sample size, competing for best dish in various categories. You buy a bunch of tickets and walk around sampling all sorts of goodness. Menu: [http://www.tasteofbuffalo.com/app/restaurant](http://www.tasteofbuffalo.com/app/restaurant) Saturday 11AM to 9PM and Sunday 11AM to 7PM. Gotta love Buffalo.

I did the man vs. food thing. I beat the buzzer, but the guy next to me ate 7 wings in 50 seconds so I lost ☹ . They were cold and gross, I am not sure how he pulled it off. ---
