BUFFALO, N.Y. — Tara Funderburg and her fiancé, Taru Woods, started working in January on their restaurant concept: Luxor Steak & Lobster in Buffalo, an upscale steakhouse with a menu that includes vegan options.
While they worked on the menu and renovations at the 3199 Main St. site, they worked with a consultant on the liquor license process. Still, it took nearly two and a half months to get a response once the application was filed, with a temporary license approved one day before the April 2 opening.
