[FOOD] Usher in the summer season this Friday, June 19 with a four-hour outdoor blues bash to benefit Gateway-Longview, which provides social services for at risk children. Randle & the Late Night Scandals, the Hayden Fogle Band, the Jony James Band, and Dive House Union will provide the live blues music along the Illinois Street cobblestones while Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, Big Belly BarBeQue and Fat Bob’s Smokehouse serve up some of the area’s best finger-licking food. Desserts from Fairy Cakes Cupcakery and Melody’s Gelato sweeten the deal, as well as beverages from Labatt’s and Barefoot Wine. Arrive early with your own chair for lawn seating, park on the First Niagara ramp and continue the party afterwards at Buffalo Iron Works.
