Up North / Bob's Blog

This is a great wing recipe based on what I am told is the original recipe from Buffalo. We have given it our own local twist by using KaBob’s Kick’en Cherry Hot Sauce. This is a quick and easy recipe with mild to medium heat. You can spice it up to meet individual tastes.

Chili is a very popular food Up North. It's perfect for cool summer evenings and those winter days that chill you to the bone. 

As the end of the year nears, we like to take the time to recognize people and organizations that have made a positive contribution to the greater good. Every day through December, we are wholeheartedly giving to good people and organizations living out big dreams. We'll be giving out a total of $120,000 over the course of the month. These are random acts of kindness, so most of these organizations don't know what's coming - we're hoping to brighten up their days and spread the love. We will update this post weekly so check back regularly!

Cherry Boomchunkas are my first food product. It all began 22 years ago in a search for expanding my business. I had been selling Cherry Republic t-shirts, but was frustrated because tees were only purchased in the summer—I was looking for something to sell year round.. People eat food year round. I decided on a cookie using our local fruit and taking advantage of a newer invention—dried cherries. I wanted a fun cookie with a fun name. That was the easy part—in a flash Cherry Boomchunkas with oats, cherries and white chocolate were invented. Here is me with a few of my staff in my first kitchen.
