Loganberry burnt ends are the best bite at Taste of Buffalo 2026. Yankee BBQ, Stand 27, also rocks Mac Daddy deep-fried mac and cheese balls stuffed with pulled pork. SUNDAY: I’ll be at the Read It & Eat Bookshop tent in Niagara Square, signing books. Stop by and say hi.

Join me Wednesday, July 15 at Peking Quick One in Tonawanda to explore Northern Chinese cuisine. Pretty good deal for $30 including tax and tip, but you also get a doggy bag of knowledge. I’ll explain what’s in the food, how to make it, and where to get the ingredients. Tickets fourbites.net/shop
