Vintage football and vintage spirits reign supreme as February’s FRAMEbar is reborn into a treasured playground of culinarily rich, “only in Buffalo” Western New York pub fare.
Meet: MR GOOD BAR, helmed by Chef Jordan Balduf of Ann Arbor’s Sidebiscuit.
A proud Buffalonian, Chef is raising the bar on real-deal, true-to-style Buffalo chicken wings, a classic from his hometown, each bite crackling in harmonious relationship with its next-level sauces: Korean, Thai, 24-hour Marinated Caramel Fish Sauce with Fried Garlic, and of course the benchmark Frank’s & Butter for the purists. Plus tailored accompaniments from pickled tomatoes and house kimchi to celery, carrot, and bleu. The results are pure dreamy Americana indulgence.
Here, swank ’70s handheld football games and a retro game room setting provide us the perfect backdrop for a month of spirit-forward throwback cocktails alongside Chef’s not-to-miss tribute to Beef on Weck. We’re talking rare wagyu beef on a house-made duck-fat kummelweck roll encrusted with Maldon salt, caraway seeds, beet horseradish, and au jus for dipping.
With all things Western NY, it’s only fitting that this month’s rotating drink menu screams regionality to pair, making clever use of top shelf Long Island’s, pork belly washed mezcal old fashioned’s, house made pickle brine chasers, draft Pimms Cups, celery soda, and New York wines.
FRAMEbar in February may in fact be the only place in town where you can pair house-made pork rinds, fried to order and tossed in Frame furikake, with a hand-selected bottle of Finger Lakes Riesling.
Continuing to create a Frame culture that cultivates community and an ever-changing line-up of talent, MR GOOD BAR is a living, breathing ode to Western New York’s rich story, which makes the simple pleasure of sitting at the bar with a drink and a chicken wing (with hand-shaved black truffles) feel like pure luxury.

Package Includes: Five black sesame biscuits with togarashi and miso butters
Plus forty fully cooked wings with tailored accompaniments and four to-die-for dipping sauces:
