The Buffalo area is filled with Italian restaurants. Some are iconic, like Chef's downtown or the Como Restaurant in Niagara Falls. The November issue of Buffalo Spree celebrates Italian cuisine and what is commonly known as Red Sauce. In this week's Press Pass with WBFO's Mark Scott, Spree Editor Elizabeth Licata expects this will spark some debate because most readers have their personal favorites.
Now, this is not just about restaurants making red sauce. Most Italian families have sauce recipes that are shared from generation to generation. Spree contributor Gabe DiMaio even writes about the controversy about whether to use the term "sauce" or "gravy."
Also in the November issue, Elizabeth profiles a new book by local nature writer Gerry Rising. It's titled "Birds and Birdwatchers."
The issue release party for November's Buffalo Spree is Wednesday (Oct. 19) at 5:30pm at the Glenn Park Tavern on Main Street in Williamsville. It's open to all!
