WeEatCNY

LUNCHED! Saw that @ginosfayetteville had a bad experience with a “food blogger” and wanted to restore faith that were out here trying to share great experiences that we have and not all trying to make a buck off of restaurants. And look, I get it, some people’s full time income stream is content creation and that they are creating content around food and restaurants in the area. But there’s a right and wrong way to approach partnering, collaborating, or selling your services and walking in and being demanding isn’t it. So I took my daughter for a quick lunch date since she has the week off of school and ended up on the Steak and Egg and Katrina upsold me into adding bacon (it wasn’t hard) and I added sautéed onions and steak sauce. Needless to say, I think I might have had all of the protein I needed for the day in this one meal. There were times when my jaw was cracking because I was opening so widely to take a bite out of this sandwich that was PACKED with the good stuff. The point of all this is that go support restaurants, eat good food, and be a good person.

Out of town for the weekend. Felt like sharing the eats from @southandpine. Didn’t have the camera, so iPhone it is! 🤷🏼‍♂️ 1. Spicy Mango Lemonade (Mocktail) 2. Pork Belly with Mango Vinaigrette 3. Fried Chix 2.0 with Sour Cream and Chive Waffle 4. PEI Mussels 5. Kimchi Fried Rice

👋🏻👋🏻 Just stopping in quick to say we’re still here! Travel sports seem to have taken over our lives with practices and games going 6-7 days a week and seemingly a new city to venture to every weekend. Eating at restaurants has been a challenge to schedule, to say the least, and finding the headspace to pick up the camera to document has been equally challenging. Maybe food content will continue, maybe we’ll pivot to being more family focused on here, or maybe the future holds something different. Thanks, as always, to you for popping by our corner of the internet whether you’ve been here for the whole journey, you’re new, or you come and go. We appreciate all of you for the opportunities that have come our way because you enjoy what we’ve done.

One of my favorite 1-2 lunch combos down at @thesaltcitymarket. The Marco Polo báhn mí from @mammahaisyracuse and an original cocktail from @saltcitybar. I really love the variety the market has to offer and, while I have my favorites, it’s always great to be able to go from stall to stall and check out new menu items.

The straight-up BEST appetizer I’ve had in the last two years or as long as I can think back! This brûléed whipped goat cheese with nectarines from @amanosyracuse was out of this universe. A fantastic balance between savory and sweet in the goat cheese and fruit, smooth and crunchy textures with the whip, sugar, and the toasts, made for the most enjoyable start to a wonderful experience at one of our favorites in Downtown Syracuse.

NFL Season kicks off today!! If you’re looking for a great weekend getaway, a spot to watch all the games on Sunday, and indulge with a big brunch and bets of the games, The DraftKings Sportsbook has the menu you’re looking to tackle! With the biggest breakfast pizza, thicc omelets, and everyone’s favorite brunch bevies, you can’t go wrong with taking the quick trip over to @dellagoresortcasino for a weekend getaway without the kids. Who wouldn’t want to enjoy ONE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET of LED bliss and one of the few properties in the region to be rated a AAA Four Diamond Designation. Wherever you’re coming from, however long you plan to stay, there’s only one destination in the Finger Lakes region that gives you everything you expect and then some. As the Finger Lakes #1 Casino, del Lago offers specials and deals that can turn an average weekend into a spontaneous getaway.

Happiest number 9 to you, LL Cool Mae! We are so proud of all you’ve accomplished this year with hockey, lacrosse, school, and more! Cheers to the next 525600 minutes with you. 📸: @alyssafloodphoto

Coming up on @nysfair time so that means Fair food announcements and nothing gets me more pumped than the pizza creations coming to the @tossnfirepizza pizza truck! Had the opportunity to try them yesterday and you’re all going to be excited for the 6 bangers that Nick is bringing this year. My fav. was definitely the Birria, but they’re also bringing Chicken Riggie, Summer Cuse, Bit of a Pickle (my fav from last year), Caramel Apple, and a crazy Cannoli pizza stuffed with cannoli cream and topped with crushed cannoli shells, chocolate sauce, and powdered sugar! Toss and Fire Wood-Fired Pizza is going to have both your savory and sweet covered at this year’s fair. Make sure to stop by the truck or either of their locations in North Syracuse on North Main Street or Camillus in Township 5 to grab one or all of these delicious pies while supplies last!

What was your fav. dish from your summer trip(s) this year? I think ours was the buffalo fried oysters from The Orleans Waterfront Inn & Restaurant. Lightly fried, with a hint of buffalo sauce, blue cheese, and green onions. Great flavor that wasn't an uppercut to your palate. #capecod #capecodlife #capecod2022 #oysters #weeatcny

Go to spot for coffee and remote work? I know that I'm not a big coffee drinker, I probably only have 1 a year in an attempt to try and like it, but I do like to go to @saltcitycoffee and see if they can whip up something for me that could start to change my mind. I think this was about as basic as it could get with a mocha latte. 🤷‍♂️ All in all, a very enjoyable experience for my once a year attempt. #coffee #coffeetime #coffeegram #iloveny #centralnewyork #centralny #ny #newyork #syracuseny #syracuse #weeatcny

Looking for a good time out in the Finger Lakes? We checked out @flxfrybird while we were out in Geneva hanging out with some friends. I ordered their Notorious with a fried boneless thigh on a waffle and it was out of this world. A great combination of flavors with the watermelon, chipotle mayo, and sriracha honey. #iloveny #centralnewyork #centralny #ny #newyork #syracuseny #syracuse #weeatcny #flx #fingerlakes #fingerlakesny

I don't know about you, but heading to @thesaltcitymarket and @baghdad.restaurant.ny for lunch and a quiet spot to get some work done is definitely one of my happy places in downtown Syracuse. #weeatcny #syracuse #syracuseny #newyork #ny #centralny #centralnewyork #iloveny #315

It. Has. Been. A. Minute. Or more like almost 6 months since we were on the feed, but we figured it's time to get back out here and share the places we've been. We wanted to share a bit about us to make the jump back to social media in general. A big thanks to everyone that's stuck with us or followed us in the last year while we've been less than active on the feed. While we've done a great job in the past of highlighting places that would be great date nights or spots that you could drop in for a cocktail, we're going to do our best to start putting more of a family spin on things and with that, here's the breakdown on the team behind WeEatCNY! Chris: Co-Founder and Chief Eating Officer. Previously, a human trash compactor for food around the area, but now trying to eat a little smarter and say deuces to the dad bod. Kate: Co-Founder and Chief Organizational Officer. The glue that keeps the team together, Kate loves a great glass of wine with the fantastic food options in the area. You can also find her over on @wedrinkcny. Charlie: Chief Pizza Officer. Everyone knows that Dave Portnoy was recently up reviewing slices in the Central New York area, but what they didn't know is this guy is a true CNY pizza connoisseur, along with being an avid gamer and rising YouTube sensation. Maisie: Chief Snacks Officer. Girl has never met a sweet treat she didn't like sinking her teeth into. Whether it's macarons, donuts, candy, cake, or any other cavity causing confection, if it's got sugar, she wants to snack on it. #weeatcny #syracuse #syracuseny #newyork #ny #centralny #centralnewyork #iloveny #315 #selfies

Been a while since we’ve gone out and I remembered to grab some shots of what we had. But when you go to @saint.urban, you have to document it! A fantastic meal to celebrate @wedrinkcny’s double graduation!
