Yes sir, I am. I see you've tried some of upstate's finest during your stay, but there are a few more you may want to try out....

Chicken wings....Buffalo wings are for foreigners. Get them in Buffalo, no where else. I'm frequently in Syracuse, and there is not a single place there that has figured out how to make chicken wings. Buffalo only.

Beef on weck....If you want to be an old school pollock (relax, I'm Polish, its just how "our community" says it), you call it beef on wick. A few very well know places here in Buffalo for them. Never see it anywhere else in the state.

Salt potatoes.....rarely seen in Buffalo, but mainly a specialty of the CNY area. Damn good though. You can buy a bag ready for boiling at any supermarket in CNY.

Loganberry.....a delicious drink made from the fruit of the mythical loganberry tree (don't believe what wiki has to say about it)

Sponge candy....toffee in, well, spong form covered in either milk or dark chocolate...Ive only seen it in Buffalo

You need to go down to South Carolina and Georgia and have some road kill possum. No picture necessary.
