Lake Effect Diner on Main Street in Buffalo has been one of the city’s favorite breakfast and comfort food stops since it opened, named after the weather phenomenon that defines western New York winters and serving the kind of hearty scratch-made diner food that Buffalo winters demand. It appeared in Season 7, Episode 13 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Legacies,” which aired November 16, 2009. Guy Fieri found a Buffalo diner doing things from scratch with the kind of creative energy that goes well beyond the standard breakfast menu.
