Make Your Mark: Beer Merchant's Design Our Logo Contest
It seems that Buffalo Rising’s YUM section is bringing foodies, business owners and BR readers together more and more every day. In August we finished up a contest involving the naming of a new restaurant, and I must say the logo is spectacular. We have also tallied the final votes from the Fantasy Foodball playoffs and are currently talking to restaurants about hosting a Buffalo Rising night that will be open to everyone. We have more events and contests in store for you, this one included!
There’s been a lot of chatter on the site in recent weeks about the specialty shop opening on Elmwood in the space formerly occupied by Chef Deli. For more information, you can check out Newell’s first post, or last week’s, which followed-up on some of the working being done to the building’s interior.
Mel and Tammy Westin, owners of The Village Beer Merchant, slated to open in November, have offered our readers an exciting opportunity! The store will appeal to consumers looking for gourmet food and specialty beers and they’re looking for an inspired and fresh logo. The only stipulations are that the logo contain their name: The Village Beer Merchant, and that all artwork be turned in before 9 AM on Monday, October 8th (Columbus Day). Please submit your piece using this address.
The winning logo may be featured in all of their advertising, signage and branded merchandise. The winner will also receive a feature on BRO, bragging rights and a $25 gift certificate to the shop every month for a year (value $300).
You don’t need to be a pro, though we certainly welcome professional submissions with open arms. So crack open your Photoshop program and get to work!
The above photo is simply a selection of specialty beers, not necessarily a representation of The Village Beer Merchant’s stock.

Gimme a (coffee) break
With the opening of more and more coffee houses downtown, some people wonder if Buffalo is really a coffee town. Buffalo is the original coffee town!
The "coffee break" which is taken for granted as a standard part of any work day has only been around for about a hundred years. Coffee culture has continued to flourish in this country and the espresso boom of the Pacific Northwest in the 1990s has seen to it that every other gas station in America now has a barista on staff.

Sea Bar-City
It's great to see stylish, hip, new restaurants pop up downtown such as Sea Bar on Ellicott Street, which specializes in contemporary Japanese food. A clean ultra-modern space, Sea Bar’s dining room is quaint and inviting. The sleek sushi bar has counter seating and the wet bar, with beer, sake, and wine, has at least 10 sakes to choose from on any given night. We were happy to try a Sojitio, a sake mojito, which had the right amount of mint without too much sweetness.

Dinosaur Stalks Buffalo!!
Ten years ago, the downtown of My Fair City was forever altered when a Big Dinosaur appeared on the scene. Thankfully—unlike 1950’s Tokyo—when this dino showed up our downtown wasn’t flattened, but considerably improved. Dinosaur Bar B Que, a restaurant that originated in downtown Syracuse in the 1980’s, planted its foot in downtown Rochester in 1998. It was an instant hit—it’s common to have a line waiting to get in at all times. And it’s clearly Hog Heaven— … - Nov 21st 2008, 9:05am

Christa,
When I was a kid in the 50s there was a CHICKEN DELIGHT in either this space or the Jimmy Mac's space. It was a take out and delievery chicken place. Their slogan was DON'T COOK TONIGHT... CALL CHICKEN DELIGHT.
A friend of mine has submitted a few designs for VBM's logo and I think they are just great. As for VBM, I am looking forward to them opening and I wish them the very best.
