The path to a Michelin star does not begin in the kitchen. It begins with a tourism board paying for Michelin to visit its region.

A fantastic review of Ontario's two-Michelin star restaurant Pearl Morissette, less than an hour's drive from Buffalo.

Love this from @chessabond. You wouldn't expect to find a Michelin two-star joint in middle-of-nowhere Jordan Station, Ontario. What it's like to dine at Canada's Pearl Morissette buffalonews.com/life-enterta… via @TheBuffaloNews

While many restaurant owners avoid expressing political views, some in Western New York are stepping out in that limb.

Catch up on terrific work from @chessabond this week about beef on weck's history in Buffalo. Lotsa links here: buffalonews.com/life-enterta….
Even a 2019 story about the #Bisons bobblehead. (Which wise aleck editor did the headline "Beef on Weck on a roll"? I suspect @BAndriatch!)
One could follow the beef on weck rabbit hole for a very long time. I followed it for a bit. Here’s my story on the (ancient, beloved, controversial) beef on weck’s current status in and out of Buffalo. buffalonews.com/life-enterta…
And a Q&A with the anthropologist who founded the Beef on Weck Appreciation Society, which has 25,000 members and a mission to “endorse the expansion of weck.” buffalonews.com/life-enterta…

"We are a little bit more of a bar alternative, maybe more of a cafe, but I think it's some in between," said Kristina Wesolowski, owner of The Rooted Cup. buffalonews.com/life-enterta…

The first in my @TheBuffaloNews series on the final season at @HighmarkStadm.
I talked to Bills LB-turned-stadium designer Scott Radecic of @Populous. As we climbed the roof of the new stadium, I figured he'd get a bit sentimental about the old one.
Nope.
