A Julian Serrano restaurant without an extreme degree of attention to detail? Maybe in a parallel universe, but not in this one.
I’ll be honest: On my first attempt to dine at El Dorado Cantina, I turned around and left.
It’s Hatch green chile season! In case that doesn’t ring a bell for you: Hatch chiles are from New Mexico and are known for their exceptional flavor.
I’ll freely admit that, not having spent time in Buffalo, N.Y., I’ve never had Buffalo wings at the original Anchor Bar, which reportedly is where they were created.
