Hot Dogs

With three cities (Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse) seemingly equally spaced across north-western New York state, its not surprising that they share many similarities yet maintain many of their own unique characteristics. Each city has its own Triple-A baseball team and each city has its own home grown hot dog manufacturer.

Our look at the hot dogs served in the baseball parks of the International League.

...and Hamburgers

OK, we may be a little biased, but there can't be too many cities with a tastier relationship with the hamburger than Rochester. Imagine heading out for a hamburger and only having the choice of McDonald's, Burger King or if you're lucky Wendy's. Here in Webster, we have Bill Gray's, Charlie's and when the bridge is open, Don's Original. Each restaurant with its own story and connection to the Webster community. Take a look at our little timeline of Rochester Hamburger history.
