Win Tickets to BR's Hot! Hot! "Heat" Party
My God, I nearly lost my mind as I worked my way through Bill Buford's "Heat", BR's most recent Food Book Club selection. The relentless temptation provided by the book's tantalizing tales of delicious Italian delicacies (lardo, anyone?) taunted me from beginning to end. What about you?
For those of you that haven't been following along, “Heat” chronicles a middle-aged writer's bumpy ride through the sweaty NYC kitchen of the bold and boisterous Chef Mario Batali.
So the time has come to party, Batali-style! We'd love to have you join us on Tuesday, March 4th at the remarkable Digiulio & Company for some great food (and it's free, too), drink specials, and games all in the name of the Great Mario--oh yeah, and we'll talk about the book some, too.
We have only 15 pairs of tickets to give away, so here's how you can win a pair of tickets to this raucous event (whether you read “Heat” or not).
1.We're hoping that you've read the book. If you did, send the answer to the following question along with your full name to YUM. Don't forget to put the word HEAT in the email subject line. Correct answers will be entered in a drawing and winners will be notified by Friday, February 29th at Noon.
In "Heat", what fruity, kiddie confection did Batali turn into a reduction and serve with foie gras?
2.In case we don't have enough readers out there that can answer this question correctly, don't hesitate to send in your full name anyway (without the answer) and we'll do a random drawing to give away any extra pairs of tickets we may have. Don't forget to put the word HEAT in the email subject line.
Hurry and enter, tickets are sure to go fast!

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

You don't find it ironic that Bourdain only became a celebrity chef by mocking celebrity chefs?

Wear your orange Converse sneakers, apply a fake ponytail and tell anyone who's willing to listen that the best cuisine is from Lazzio.

rydog71- Actually I think his initial noteriety came from the book Kitchen Confidential, which was the best expose of the rest biz that I've ever read.
