There is a new eatery newly opened just over a year ago on Main Street in Brockport NY. It is Zonies. Their specialty is Calzones. They have a menu with their list of at least 30 Calzones and then you can create your own. The dough is fantastic and they are very filling. I recommend that you check this eatery out. They offer eat in, take out, and delivery. It is not far from Rochester NY. Check them out Adam I think you will like the Calzones! Mm mm Good.www.zonies.com Smile

Burrito Bay, Buffalo

Adam should try Burrito Bay in the Buffalo, NY area. We have a Huge Burrito called the "GLUTTON". It weighs in at about 4 lbs. We have an ongoing challenge called the "Glutton King" contest, in which the unlucky soul has to try to consume 2 Glutton Burritos within 30 minutes. Many have tried in the last 6 years but only 5 have succeeded to get their mug immortalized on the wall of fame. Burrito Bay in also known for its "PUNISHMENT" Salsa, which would make any chili head cry like a baby. In August Burrito Bay hosts the "GLUTTON BOWL", a Glutton Burrito speed eating contest. Information on this and other stuff can be found on our website at: www.BurritoBay.com

Schwabl's Restaurant, Buffalo
Originally posted by: gene/cher
Buffalo NY's regional specialty of Roast Beef on Kummelweck has been a local favorite at Schwabl's Restaurant for 172 years. The tiny little restaurant is the 8th oldest business in Western New York and has served predominantly German delicacies since 1837. Buffalo has been known for their chicken wings, but in fact anyone across the country can duplicate them. Not so for a Roast Beef Sandwich on Kummelweck Roll. It is truly a Buffalo specialty...a kaiser roll with coarse salt and caroway seeds sprinkled on top, holds tender slices of roasted beef that is hand carved in the dining room. The waitresses wear white dress uniforms, making it feel as if you just stepped back into the 1940's.The Roast Beef is accompanied with their homemade German potato salad and pickled beets. Everything at Schwabl's is homemade using original recipes from the early 1800's.We think that this regional favorite would be perfect for your new show- call us at 716-674-9821.

Check out the Eat The Feast challenge at The Hickory BBQ & Smokehouse in Kingston, NY. A sample of their house smoked meats & sausages with a choice of 4 sides. $49.95. I don't think anyone has done it yet... It easily feeds 4-6 hungry people.

Duff's, Orchard Park

Hello, I am from Buffalo NY, the home of chicken wings and I'm a new watcher to man vs. food and love the show. I recently saw where Adam went to Quaker Steak and Lube and ate the Atomic wings. Well one of these restaurants just opened in the area and I decided to look into how hot the wings are. The Atomic wings Adam ate at QSL were 150,000 scoville heat units (SHU) which is pretty hot. BUT, it is no comparison to how hot some of the wings at Duff's are. Duff's is a wing staple in western New York. There are 2 locations, I prefer the Orchard Park location myself. The atomic wings are equal to only the 3rd hottest wings available at Duff's. The Superhot is 150,000 SHU, the Death sauce is 500,000 SHU and the pinnacle Armageddon sauce is a staggering 850,000 SHU. I would love for Adam and Man Vs. Food to come to Buffalo and try authentic "Buffalo" wings at Duff's. Unless he can't take the heat...

Nick Tahou Garbage Plate, Rochester

Grew up in Rochester and nothing finished a good ole night of drinking than a Garbage plate from Tahou's (or many of the other "Hots" restaurants in the area)...

Golden Unicorn, Watertown

There is a mexican restaurante in Watertown NY called Tico's. They ahve a 16 inch burrito and is is full and big. Tico's is located on the public suqare. If you are still hungry after you get the T-shirt and a free dessert.

I think he said it was about 5-6 lbs when they are done making it.

Please check out Sunrise Bagels & Deli, 496 Albany Ave, Kingston NY 12401 845-331-9100 Open 6am-4pm M-S and 6am-3pm Sun.
These are the largest and best tasting bagels in NYS and the rest of the country. I've since moved to NC and anytime I head up that way I purchase 6 doz to deep freeze and they still taste great!! There is almost always a line out the door, service is speedy and while the bagels are enormous and a doz barely fits in a bag, you always end up eating 2!

Nick Tahou Hots

the ORIGINATOR of the "garbage plate"

http://www.garbageplate.com/

"Nick Tahou Hots is a Rochester, NY landmark restaurant famous for the Garbage Plate™. We start with a base of any combination of home fries, macaroni salad, baked beans, or french fries topped by your choice of meats and dressed to your liking with spicy mustard, chopped onions, and Nick Tahou's signature hot sauce. Each plate comes with two thick slices of fresh italian bread and butter."

Rochester NY

best place to eat many places try to imitate, but there is none like a nick tahou plate

There is a place in Lewiston Ny call the Lewiston Village Pub. They have a hot wings challenge. They called their sauce "DEATH SAUCE" I try some of that sauce it is HOT!!!! So come to Lewiston Ny and try the Death Wings.

OK, So forget NYC. We are talking Upstate NY, home to the original NICK TAHOU'S HOTS in ROCHESTER NY, otherwise known as the "HOME OF THE GARBAGE PLATE". This is the most delicious, unhealthy platter known to man. Here is the long and short of it- 2 burgers or 2 dogs on top of mac salad and homefries all smothered in onions, loads of meat hot sauce, ketchup, mustard and what ever else you like. Anyone that can put down more than one is a real man! Get here and put ADAM to the test.

I see someone beat me to the punch on this one. Obviously, I'm not the only one who know's how seriously legit the garbage plate is. Good Call djricorich!

You can also visit local hot spots James Brown's for a solid breakfast, The Famous Dinosaur BBQ for lunch prior to hitting TAHOU'S for the most deliciously disgusting dinner experience you've ever had. Like djricorich said, you get bread and butter with every plate to just soak up all the grease in your belly. GOOD TIMES! Adam, get here and I'll take you on.

Dinosaur BBQ, but have to do the original in Syracuse.

New York City, 1st ave between 116th st and 117th st, Patsy's Pizzeria. Best pizza ever made anywhere in the world. Hands down.

Adam,
You should come to Buffalo, NY and visit La Nova the home of the Original Buffalo Wings. We have a millenium pizza that is 30" in diameter and is around 12-14 pounds depeding on the toppings. If you would like to check out the millenuim please view this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha1zq_7MH2M.
We also just introduced the Roast Beef Pizza at the local Pizza Festival in May. We have been voted Buffalo's best Pizza & Wings several times. We would love to have you come check out our establishment!

I work at this pizza shop called Cafora'a and we have the chubby ponzone challenge in Newfane NY. this is 6 pounds of eggplant, italian sausage, and meatball with sauce and cheese wrapped into a ponzone with is the size of two pizza doughs together. The wall of fame tells for itself only one man has finshed it and Cafora's has been around since the 70's. I think that it would be great to see the look on the faces of my bosses and co workers if someone else could finish it. If you can finish it in 30 mins you get a $10 gift certificate, a t shirt and your picture on the wall of fame . if you love great food at quality proces check out Cafora's!

Adam, love the show. I am an Orthodox Jew from Marine Park in Brookly. My favorite BBQ resturant, Dougies on 18th Avenue is holding it's first ever Buffalo Wings Eating contest on June 14th.

Can you make it ???

The store would love it and you would get alot of publicity for the show.

Keep in touch,
