Last year, Buffalo rock luminary, Nelson Starr, and Buffalo filmmaker John Paget produced this short segment highlighting Buffalo’s food scene, with Nelson pigging out at Ted’s, Anchor Bar, and Ulrich’s, among others.
This video was selected as a finalist from among thousands of entries in Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations Fan-atic Casting Call contest, and eventually convinced Bourdain to profile Buffalo in an upcoming episode of “No Reservations”.
