There's a lunch spot in downtown Buffalo where the meals are affordable and the chefs are young. (Really young.)At Emerson Commons (70 W. Chippewa St.), Buffalo Public Schools students make and serve lunches such as blackened steak with housemade steak sauce ($14), seared salmon filet ($15) and bone-in veal chop ($17). It's open for breakfast from 7:30 to 10 a.m. and lunch from 11:15 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on most school days and closed on Mondays and whenever school isn't in session.
