From what is being grilled to what is being used to wash down your lunch or dinner here are 5 things that you will find at every BBQ in Western New York.

1. Sahlen's Hot Dogs - There is no other brand Western New Yorkers will use on the grill. People in Rochester sweat by Zweigles but here in the 716 it is only Sahlen's. Crispy on the outside and nice and juicy on the inside.

2. Costanzo's Rolls - If you are cooking on the grill you want the perfect bun for your dog. The #1 choice for Western New Yorkers comes from Cheektowaga. Costanzo's. They have been taking care of Western New Yorkers since 1933.

4. Loganberry - This very unique drink is really only found in Western New York and parts of Canada. This is perfect to wash down as many dogs as you can eat.
