Buffalo Chow's Final Post: From Pause To Full Stop, And Why

We've considered the possibility of shutting down Buffalo Chow for months, and after we pressed pause on the site in March, we wanted to take some time to think seriously about whether to continue it in a different form, or to stop work on it altogether. Today, after a lot of thought, many conversations with trusted friends and family members, and several different drafts of this post, we're officially calling it quits. We're going to use this final article to briefly explain our thinking, ...
"If Rochester, Erie, Cleveland and Pittsburgh get prominent national chains that are lacking in Buffalo, what's wrong? I don't think it's fear of local competition or some regional anti-chain sentiment - look at the lines area Olive Garden restaurants get on just weekdays. The presence of high-end national chains in those cities certainly haven't turned them into 'sterile, soulless, corporate and fake' places, nor have they damaged the prospects for innovative locally owned restaurants."
