Uncle Louie Hits Buffalo

The day before the premier, the cast and crew straggled into the downtown Buffalo Hyatt. It was a long day after the flight, but as soon as we were all checked in, we were off to find New York style pizza and Buffalo chicken wings. There's that Uncle Louie food theme again... And it wasn't hard to find lots of great pizza and wings in Buffalo just right around every corner.

Following a feast of thin crust pizza and red hot chicken wings, we hailed a cab to go back to the airport to pick up Monsignor Leiker who arrived fashionably late around midnight. It took a while to find him, but we finally connected and he honored us with a lively round of 'Enjoy Yourself' right in the middle of the baggage claim area.



Our cab driver, as it turned out, used to live in Joe Izzo's father's neighborhood on Swan Street. After we dropped Chad off at his hotel, he turned off his meter and gave us a tour of the Swan Street neighbor including the now defunct bar that Joe's father started back in the 30's. There was a strange charm about sighting in Buffalo at 2am.
