Eminem's ex-wife got tired of being pistol-whipped and listening to hubby rap about killing her and…read moreher daughter, so she finally did what she should have done, and got the hell out of there. She relocated to Syracuse, NY and opened a Fried Dough stand at the market. She looks a little different though. She has a new husband and her daughter helps her out and they're really, super friendly. Anyone would think she had nothing to do with Eminem and that the daughter wasn't actually Hailie. But we know better. It's her. What to get: Fried Dough for $2 What else: I think my Dad's gone crazy I had the lemonade too, which was $1.50 and just okay. But let's focus on the star attraction. This is some of the best Fried Dough I've ever had. If you're up in Da Cuse and you want some Dough, this is the place to go. It's absolutely delicious and it's enormous! Basically for $2 they give you a huge long stick of dough (way bigger than even the biggest thingy, since you asked), and it's piping hot, greasy, juicy, fresh, delicious, and absolutely covered in cane sugar. I adore it. I'm not the biggest fan of some fried doughs, but this one is right up there with the best of them. It's made in a lot of places in WNY and CNY but I don't think anyone in this region makes it as well as Kim does. I'm so glad she left Eminem and opened up this place. And it's great that, at $2, you don't need a lot of Dough to get the Dough. So in the words of Homer Simpson: Dough!

I thought it was going to be super cheesy with just lame souvenirs but they actually have some good quality stuff including some local mushroom teas, goat milk lotions, a wide selection of moccasins and even some nice sterling silver jewelry. Also some geodes and interesting garnets. I'd definitely stop in here again.

From ribs, to fried chicken Mac, greens with Parmesan, award winning wings, and perfectly seasoned fried catfish (only served on Fridays), there is something for everyone. The prices are great and enough to where you can feed a family of 3 for under $40. Which is a steal! I loved how nice the staff was, and I even got a banana pudding to go (it barely made it to my room). I'll be back here next week lol

After 30 years of spending personal, work, and family time in Liverpool, I finally made my first…read morepilgrimage to Heid's -- which feels a little like realizing you've been orbiting a national treasure without ever stepping inside. For context: My family has been Hoffmann's‑hot‑dog loyalists for decades. We've grilled them at home, served them at parties, and defended them in debates that got way too passionate for a conversation about encased meat. So walking into Heid's felt like I was cheating on a long‑term partner. And yet... Heid's didn't just meet my expectations -- it hurdled over them. My son and I stopped in for a quick lunch. He immediately committed a culinary misdemeanor by putting ketchup on a hot dog, which no one should do after the age of eight. But even that couldn't distract from how good everything was. The snap, the flavor, the nostalgia‑in‑a‑bun energy -- all flawless. Heid's isn't just a restaurant. It's a generational rite of passage. Families have been coming here forever, and you can feel that history the second you walk in. And here's the kicker: I drove up from Connecticut, and I would absolutely do it again. Heid's is worth the miles. Worth the hype. Worth the decades‑late arrival. I can't believe it took me this long.

Oh my goodness--the nostalgia! I haven't been to Heid's in probably 15-20 years. Growing up, Heid's…read morewas such a summer staple, so now that I've moved back home, it only felt right to make my way here. Heid's has that old-school, cafeteria-style setup where you go down the line to get your food. It's simple, classic, and honestly gives me Happy Days vibes. The menu is straight comfort food--hot dogs, chicken tenders, Philly cheesesteaks, sausages with peppers and onions, and more. They also have deserts like brownies, cookies & chocolate cake. They do server beer and have lots of fountain drink options as well. I got a Gianelli sausage with cheese fries and chili. Ummm --it was so good. The fries could've used just a little more salt and pepper, but that sausage hit the spot. My mom got a sausage with cheese fries and macaroni salad and loved it. No complaints here! Next door is Sweet Treats, their ice cream stand, and it's the perfect way to end your meal. They've got soft serve, hard ice cream, milkshakes, smoothies, flurries--you name it. My mom got a raspberry-lime sherbet twist, and I went all in with cookie dough chocolate chip ice cream mixed with vanilla, topped with whipped cream and caramel syrup. So refreshing and delicious. If you are ever in the Syracuse/Liverpool area, I definitely recommend trying Heid's at least 3 times in your life. It's affordable, family-friendly, and full of nostalgia. They also have live bands on Wednesdays, car shows, outdoor seating, and community events for kids throughout the year. Definitely tastes exactly the way I remember. If you do decide to try out Heid's, leave me a comment and let me know how you liked it!
