Missing Buffalo - Summertime

tempe-town-lake-sunset.jpgIn Phoenix, the temperature has risen to 118 degrees already this summer with lows in the mid-90s (plus humidity), and we have a serial rapist/murderer on the loose, plus a nutcase who shoots people riding bikes or taking walks at night, and everyone I know feels indoor-bound.

What I would give to be able to stroll around Delaware Park, maybe catch a Shakespeare play one summer evening, sit out on the porch or in the driveway and say hi to the neighbors, go to the Albright Knox and take in the paintings and sculptures and weird new video art, watch the sailboats at the Marina, take the trolley through Forest Lawn, and top every night off with an Anderson’s frozen custard hot fudge sundae or black raspberry cone or lemon ice.

    Funny, that I have been to Buffalo for the first time over Labor day, found it everything you say it is, and am missing it already. Sunset bay beach at Lake Erie was beautiful, and the beach rivaled the California coast.

    Andersons had smooth, creamy to-die-for custard, and why can’t we find that salty seasoned roll with roast beef anywhere else - what do you call it?

    I hope I get a chance to go back and discover more Buffalo soon. See ya soon Mo.

    It’s called a kimmelweck bun, and I think Anderson’s on Sheridan has the secret to the best beef-on-weck sandwich in the world: plenty of au jus and moist roast beef, not overcooked, and sliced hair-thin.
