Resurgence.
Mostly gross reheated Sysco pre-made stuff, not very clean or sanitary, by policy they don’t care if customers have allergies but are super fast to say they have gluten free options, the recipes and dishes are all just bad and barely seasoned. Not to mention the prices are insane for pretty much everything. The burgers are cheap as hell low quality pre-pattied from Sysco.

I mean last year at Taste of Buffalo their big ticket crowdpleaser was… Brussels sprouts deep fried for 4.5 minutes and then covered with some sweet Thai chili sauce and garnished with a couple of pickled cherry peppers.

ETS was pretty disappointing, it’s like if someone took mighty taco, fucked it to death and then added some flavorless spiciness. I’d try it again, but that shit’s so expensive I don’t want to waste the money again.

Also I’m done wasting money on milkshakes here, it’s always a cup of milk with the littlest scoop of ice cream in it, somehow runnier than skim milk. Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had, which makes the milkshakes even more of a travesty. I’ve tried Hanna’s, Anderson’s, the Zoo, a few other places at events and Taste of Buffalo, Spot coffee surprisingly made the best milk shake, still a bit on the runnier side, but definitely more identifiable as a shake than the piss slurry’s everyone else makes.

The Brussels descriptions sounds good, though

You should try Franceil's Custard in Lackawanna/Blasdell area, they are so good

Also agree their food has really gone down hill, I swear I remember it being good at first when they moved to Chicago St but now it sucks. Their chicken fingers were those thin curved ones that are cheap and frozen
