Local Restaurant Week

Feeling like you don't want to cook anymore? Here's a way to avoid cooking and support local restaurants at the same time! Local Restaurant week is back.

Do you know what besides April Fool's Day happens during the first week of April? It's restaurant week in Western New York. This is an event that celebrates restaurants in the Buffalo area

March is almost over, but we are still enjoying it on 'Because I Said So' with Val Townsend and Tony P.  This past week was loaded with fun, and lots of food as we celebrated local Restaurant Week.  Everyday we had delicious food in the studio and as a result the show now weighs in 25 lbs heavier...

If you have been following along this week on 'Because I Said So' you know that we have taken Local Restaurant Week very seriously.  We have been stuffing our faces all week, and today we had the all new Dock Waterfront Bar & Grill in studio to continue our assault on eating. ...

It's everyone's favorite week in Buffalo! Local Restaurant Week runs all week long (3/20-3/26/17) and while we WNYer's have never needed an excuse to go out and sample our local chef's wares, a $20.17 meal is a pretty good one! All week, Val Townsend and Tony P are sampling some of Buffalo's best on the air during "Because I Said So"...

I mean really, I think this is the most food that's ever been in the Mix96 studio at one time! Tony's favorite from today's smorgasbord was the Lobster Ravioli, while I couldn't get enough of the Philly Steak Pizza and Chicken Finger Pizza...

Local Restaurant Week happens twice a year, once in the fall (as in, RIGHT NOW) and again in the spring. The idea behind local restaurant week is to encourage people to explore new (or new to them) restaurants that are independently owned and part of the fabric of Western New York...

Restaurant Week can bring out the ultimate animal in us. Too much? Ok, I love a good deal, and Buffalo has some of the BEST food on earth (IMHO).  Sure, we've got the humble chicken wing; but we've also got Black Rice Salad (my favorite), and the Besk In Show (my OTHER favorite)...

Local Restaurant Week in Western New York starts Sunday, April 10 and continues through April 17.  If you're like me and want to try some new food or stick with some of your favorite spots, this is an amazing week. Restaurants that participate will be offering meals starting at $20...
