This past weekend, one of my favorite celebrations took place. The annual Taste of Buffalo, the largest two-day food festival in the United States, kicked off and had beautiful (though a little hot) weather (at least when it wasn't a torrential downpour). My parents and my sister, Adrienne, came in to town to taste all of the wares Buffalo had to offer, and we all left overly full.
Adrienne came into town on Thursday night, so we had an extra day to get the weekend started. There were tacos, burritos, and nachos. It was crazy. On Friday, we went downtown to a Buffalo staple called Pearl Street, which is a microbrew pub. As seen in the photo above, we ordered a Widowmaker, 100 oz. of beer in a convenient tube. One hundred ounces of beer seems a lot when you order it, but it really was pretty easy to knock it out with four people.
On Sunday, we ventured downtown for the festival. The festival itself spans quite a few blocks and dumps out into a huge traffic circle in front of Buffalo City Hall (an Art Deco marvel, Ellie would like to point out).
I love Taste of Buffalo and alllll the foods!
That is a serious serving of beer. And wow. It must be a good event if Tums are required.
51 Resturants, 7 wineries, 4 food trucks!
My favorite photo is the “It’ll pass, it’ll pass.”
I felt full for like eight hours.
