Side Dish with Christa Glennie Seychew [01.25.12]

Today we begin a new food column. Called Side Dish, this segment will look at food, drink, and restaurant topics as they pertain to WNY. We've partnered up with WKBW for this; you can catch me on every other Wedensday's Eyewitness News talking about topics we'll expand upon here.
