BUFFALO, N.Y. — Every week, 2 On Your Side’s Joshua Robinson takes a closer look at what’s new, unique, and happening across the Western New York food scene in “Out 2 Eat.”
And when it comes to Easter in Western New York, there is no more iconic centerpiece for the dinner table than butter lambs.
In fact, when Lake Effect Ice Cream announced a butter lamb ice cream cake this year, orders sold out quickly, leaving many people wondering if there was any chance of more being made.
The owners have posted on their website that they’re working as hard as they can to see if they can make more, and if they can, they promise to post an update across all of their social media platforms. You can follow them on Facebook by searching “Lake Effect Ice Cream,” on Twitter at @lake_effect_ic, or on Instagram at @lakeeffecticecream.
Another mainstay many Western New Yorkers turn to at Easter time is Ru’s Pierogi, and they’re offering a bundle of pierogi, sausage, and rye bread. It’s called their "Great Easter Feaster" brunch box, and if you’re interested in grabbing one, Ru’s says you can call their number at (716) 235-8243, visit their website at ruspierogi.com/easter, or simply swing by their restaurant and give them a quick hello with your order.
Finally, once Easter and Dyngus Day have come and gone, a new Western New York tradition kicks off right away: Food Truck Tuesday.
