The 219, The 190, The 400 etc... In Rochester is just 490, 590, 390, only time we use "The" is when talking about "The Thruway". It's never "The 90". Just a little quirk of mine 🤷♂️ Your complete Guide to Buffalo English. It's a bit dated but a good read. It doesn't definitively answer your question but it's mentioned in there. I know the original author of this piece. 4 hours ago, RVJ said: We have to do better. I have to do better. The chiding version drives me nuts, and it's used by some 'Spacers: "Do better." 1 1 Quote

I’d argue it takes away from the flavor of the sauce. There's a functional reason for blue cheese and celery. They're basically fire extinguishers if your wings are two hot for comfort. 1 2 Quote

Beef on Weck is still on the menu of every almost bar and restaurant in the region. Not a niche thing, its everywhere. Wings have the advantage of being on the menu of the pizza and sub restaurants and many of them do not have Beef on Weck, but most bars, restaurants, and diners have it. 3 3 Quote

Marvin Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 19 minutes ago, Norcal said: WNY food is elite The late John Nathan-Turner, former producer of Doctor Who, and his spouse, Gary Downie, said that Buffalo has great bar food. A tribute to JNT and Buffalo is in the episode "Voyage of the Damned", where the food in the bar on the main table was all his favourite Buffalo finger foods. 1 1 Quote

And it is very soothing. 2 Quote
