Until recently, I didn't eat buffalo sauce for four years. Back when I was a poor, meat-eating college student, I lived off of the free buffalo wings at Side Street Grille in Hamden, Conn. I ate an inhumane amount of them during my four years of college - I literally got sick of them, along with buffalo sauce.
About a month ago, Z and I went to Christopher's in Cambridge for dinner, and he convinced me to share the Buffalo Tofu ($6.95) with him. After some serious hesitation, I finally caved - and had my first bite of buffalo sauce in almost four years. After eating a whole slab of the buffalo tofu to my face, my obsession with the spicy condiment was back...with a vengeance. Now, I'm a reborn buffalo sauce addict.
My most recent meal with buffalo sauce was last night's dinner: An egg burrito with avocado, baby spinach, caramelized onions and mozzarella cheese on a whole wheat wrap. The buffalo sauce added a fantastic spice and flavor to this simple yet satisfying meal.
If it were normal to put buffalo sauce on everything, I'd do it.
What's your current obsession?
I'm definitely going to make some buffalo tofu at home. Thanks for your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE buffalo sauce, especially on avocado with some goat cheese or feta. Also really good mixed in with Greek yogurt as a dip.
ReplyDeleteI love buffalo sauce too. I mix it with cottage cheese. Try buffalo sauce with brussel sprouts - that's my latest obsession!
ReplyDeleteJust yesterday I was telling someone about the buffalo tofu at Christopher's! I had walked into the kitchen at my office, and there was an intense conversation about the collective love of buffalo sauce. Someone bemoaned the fact that their girlfriend didn't eat meat but he craved buffalo chicken wings. It must be something in the air...the cold weather, perhaps?
ReplyDeletehow fun that you re-discovered a long lost condiment favorite! that egg avocado wrap looks really good.
ReplyDeleteAvocado and quinoa are my latest obsessions. I definitely go through phases of loving something and then not wanting to look at it too.
ReplyDeleteMolly, it must be - now that the weather's getting colder, people are craving spicy, warming foods. It makes sense!
ReplyDeleteAnd glad to hear most of you love buffalo sauce as much as I do. ;) Expect some buffalo-inspired recipes on the blog soon!
