"I learned that the original Dr. Bird’s Caribbean Rasta-Rant opened in Buffalo in 1981 and has long sold baked patties there; the restaurant gained additional community credibility after being mentioned in a song by local rap collective Griselda, and members of that Buffalo outfit later signed with Eminem’s Shady Records and, more recently, with management at Jay‑Z’s Roc Nation." - Ashok Selvam
