BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Chef Cornell Williams remembers his first visit to The Barrel Factory in the Old First Ward. "The first time I walked in I was wowed. I said I want to work here," Williams said.
Cornell started working at The Barrel Factory about a year ago and has now just unveiled a new menu for the newly opened Barrel Factory Restaurant.
"We are putting out wings because this is Buffalo. Beef on Weck, egg rolls. I spent 20 years at the Buffalo club so we also have some higher-end things. We have a little bit of everything for everybody," he added.
The owners Andrea and Steve Bystran transformed the 120-year-old factory into an event center. They have a distillery on the premises, as well as a number of other businesses that rent space.
The Bystran's daughter Tara is a muralist. Her artwork hangs throughout. She just finished a barrel logo and sign on the outside of the building.
The Barrel Factory, located at 65 Vandalia Street (near Republic and Hamburg Streets) in Buffalo, is open Wednesday through Sunday.
