Syracuse, N.Y. — Give a reporter a notepad and a pen, and they’ll chase a story. Give a journalist $20 and a city full of street food, and you’ve got something much tastier. That was the challenge I handed to myself and three fellow reporters at this year’s Taste of Syracuse: Build our dream meal with just $20. No limits on what we could get; just a budget and an appetite.

(It’s a debate every Central New Yorker has had at some point: Who’s got the best pizza? This year, we’ll do our best to find out. I’m on a quest to find the best pizza shops in the Syracuse area. Throughout 2024, I’ll visit 50-plus pizzerias. At each, I’ll sample their most popular pizza, or whatever they recommend.

Syracuse, N.Y. — You just can’t beat a well-priced, all-you-can-eat buffet, especially since going out to dinner these days can cost as much as a car payment. Meet KPOT, the Korean barbecue and hot pot restaurant that opened on Erie Boulevard East last fall. Endless ingredients and the do-it-yourself cooking experience make it a food lover’s playground. But it can be intimidating if you’re a true novice. After all, the chef is you, and the possibilities are sizzling.

Geddes, N.Y. — Today is our last chance to soak up the sites, sounds, smells and tastes of the New York State Fair. We can take in one last free concert, hang out with farm animals and indulge in food that’s hard to find any other time of the year. I’ve been at the Fair every day and night, and I ate a lot because it’s my job. I write about food and drinks for syracuse.com and The Post-Standard. Each morning, I’ve been passing suggestions onto you while working here.

GEDDES — Someone in your group visiting the New York State Fair this year will insist on a sausage sandwich, one will want a gyro, and you know you’ll all crave a Pizze Fritte. We get it. We do that too, and, yes, we chase all that with a wine slushie. But there’s so much more than you probably don’t know about. kAm#6A@CE6CD r92C=:6 |:==6C 2?5 p??6 w2J6D DA6?E ~A6?:?8 s2J C@2>:?8 E96 u2:C8C@F?5D =@@<:?8 7@C D@>6 9:556? 86>D[ =6DD6C\<?@H? 7@@5 2?5 5C:?<D E92E H:== 3C@256?
