"Buffalo: You'll Eat It Up!" - New short film on Buffalo food premieres Monday night

Since July, I've been working (with Nelson Starr and Nathan Peracciny) on a new short film, produced in conjunction with the Buffalo Niagara Convention & Visitors Bureau.

"Buffalo: You'll Eat It Up!" is an entertaining, whirlwind tour of Buffalo's food scene.  Designed to literally whet viewers' appetites and promote cultural tourism to Buffalo, the film will be unveiled at 6:30pm Monday, Nov. 2nd at the Market Arcade Theater in downtown Buffalo (639 Main Street).

It will screen as part of Field & Fork Network's TABLELAND event, which includes a screening of the award-winning feature documentary "Tableland" and a local food showcase.  (Check out the incredible menu!)

If you miss the event, you can still see the film - it will launch on the Buffalo Niagara Convention & Visitors Bureau website Tuesday morning, Nov. 3rd.  But don't wait for that - come see the premiere on a big screen in full HD brilliance!

LA Times: "Route 66 Fans Rejoice!"

LA Times reports that the National Park Service has dedicated a new microsite to Historic Route 66, with a mother lode of info on the mother road.

The NPS list of Route 66 sites includes many attractions that were featured in my documentary film, Route 66: Return to the Road with Martin Milner.
