While I love going to the movies, the amount of money these places charge for a bag of popcorn, soda and a bag of Sour Patch kids absolutely outrages me. I’m already paying more than enough for the actual admission, and so I refuse to drop anything extra on the snacks. Plus, [...]
What’s weird is that while many parts of the country are still feeling the chill, Buffalo has had absolutely gorgeous weather over the past week. We’ve had a week straight of upper 70s and pure sunshine. This doesn’t happen often around these parts. In May, just getting through a day with no rain [...]
Right after the Superbowl, Mr. Big Flavors and I decided that our next kitchen purchase needed to be a pizza stone. We made three pizzas on three baking sheets for the Big Game, and the resulting crusts each had a different texture – too crunchy, too crispy, or too flat. Just too inconsistent, really. It was [...]
Mr. Big Flavors and I headed to Shea’s to see the one-and-only Anthony Bourdain on his Guts & Glory tour. I’ll be honest – I didn’t really know what to expect. Would he be eating or cooking? Or was this going to be a “No Reservations” highlights reel, with clips from various episodes? [...]
We have this awesome Thai restaurant right in our neighborhood called Taste of Thai. It’s somewhat of a hole in the wall with seemingly traditional Thai artwork hanging on the dark maroon walls. When it comes to ethnic foods, this is my favorite kind of place. It’s that kind of place that [...]
There is one member of the Big Flavors family that is just not discussed enough around here. She’s made an appearance on the Hot Dog Taste Test Championship and on the About the Big Flavors page, so you know she’s [...]

They’re filling enough to eat as a meal, and also pair well with plenty of different ingredients and flavors. That’s why I turn to omelets for breakfast (well, actually for lunch [...]
Eggs are an important kitchen staple in the Big Flavor household. We’re always using them to whip up breakfasts and desserts, and we’ve always used the tried-and-true methods of preparation. As in, we crack eggs on the counter top and drop the contents into a separate bowl to fish out any egg [...]
Does it feel like spring where you are? If so, could you pretty please bottle up some of that warm weather and sunshine and send it my way? Because in Buffalo it’s still about 20 degrees, the snow is still falling and the cold wind is still whipping around. And, I’m sick [...]
How was your St. Patrick’s Day? Did you overdose on corned beef, shamrock shakes and/or green beer? I hope not. Instead, I hope you took my advice from Thursday and made plenty of extra corned beef. We certainly did. Well, maybe not “plenty of extra” but, it was a fairly obnoxious amount of meat. [...]
