We started our 2012 Year End coverage this week and we’re continuing with a couple special podcasts. Last month we had our first podcast guest Christa Glennie Seychew come back to the studio to sum up 2012 in terms of Buffalo’s dining scene. We talked about the area’s biggest stories, important restaurant openings, lament on some restaurant closings and just talk about the awesome-ness of 2012. Since our podcast went so long, we decided to split the episode into two parts.

On part 1, Christa and I talked about Mike A’s at the Hotel Lafayette, new food trucks joining Buffalo’s scene and upcoming legislation issues, the growing ethnic restaurant scene and their challenge with serving “authentic food” and the rise of the local booze scene.
