It’s no secret that Buffalonians love our food. Whether it’s doused in Frank’s or grilled over charcoal, we have some unique tastes when it comes to local cuisine. And even more interesting than some of the concoctions we’ve come up with in the 716 are the ways we order our favorite foods. Here are the 8 weirdest food orders you’ll only understand if you’re a Buffalonian.
- Buckets of wings.
Shelby L. Bell - Flickr We love wings so much, Buffalonians order them by the bucket.
- Extra crispy, please!
Jessica and Lon Binder - Flickr “Don’t forget to order them extra crispy,” she yells from across the house while you’re placing your delivery order at the local pizzeria. No one likes a soggy wing. Extra crispy is a totally normal request in Buffalo!
- Well done hotdogs.
Michael Radwin - Flickr How do you like your dogs? If they’re Sahlens, they need to be “well done.” In other words, if we can’t see the grill lines on the skin, they need to cook a bit longer!
- “The works.”
Kristi824 - TripAdvisor And speaking of hot dogs… If you haven’t ever ordered a Ted’s hotdog with “the works,” you’re seriously missing out. This is a Buffalonian food order that might sound strange, but it tastes delicious!
- Beef on weck, extra juice.
julia k - Flickr If asking for extra juice on the side of your sandwich sounds weird, you’re probably not a Buffalonian. When ordering a beef on weck, “juice” is synonymous for au jus. AKA the delicious watery sauce used to dip your sandwich in.
- Pop.
▲brian james - Flickr Yeah yeah.. we know. It’s “soda.” But when you’re ordering in Buffalo, your favorite soft drinks are pop and nothing else.
- Wings, half and half.
Dome Poon - Flickr This is the last one about wings. Promise. If you know what Wings ordered “half and half” means, you’re most likely a Buffalonian! This interesting sounding food order in Buffalo simply means you want half one flavor and half another! (Usually a variation of hot/medium/mild and BBQ.)
- Super Mighty.
Mighty Taco - Facebook No, we’re not talking about how strong we are. Every Buffalonian knows this classic food order will result in a delicious (albeit, horribly unhealthy) meal from Mighty Taco!
