There are a couple of guarantees if you live in Western New York. You will get lake-effect snow during the winters, and you can find amazing food all over the place.

From chain spots to mom and pop restaurants, there is no shortage of great spots to eat in the 716, but Western New York is known for a couple of key foods.

They are wings, of course, beef on weck, French onion soup, and ice cream. Ask any Western New Yorker, and they will have a favorite spot for each one of those food groups.

Mount Rushmore Of Buffalo Foods

Many people use Mount Rushmore as high praise for things since the mountain is carved with the best presidents in US history. So if you were to build a Mount Rushmore of places for these four Buffalo favorite food groups, who would you put there? You can let us know HERE.

Mount Rushmore Buffalo Wings

If you ask me, the best place to get wings is at Duff's and it has to be the place in Amherst. They are crispy, saucy, and have plenty of kick.

Mount Rushmore Beef on Weck

I grew up in West Seneca, and if we wanted beef on weck, there was only one place my mom would go, which was Schwabl's on Center Road. They serve the perfect sandwich.

Mount Rushmore French Onion Soup

I will be honest, I am not a huge fan of onions, but there is one spot that makes French onion soup so good, I have no problem eating a bowl or two. That place is the French Pub on French Road.
