CANASTOTA, NY Graziano’s World Famous Restaurant & Inn, a longtime institution in Canastota, was torn down by the Oneida Indian Nation last week.
The Oneida Indian Nation bought the property, just off the New York State Thruway in Canastota, in 2018 but agreed to let it continue operating as long as former owner Anthony Graziano wanted to manage it. The price was about $1 million.

During this disorienting, mostly dismal year, I, like everybody, missed out on nearly all of my favorite communal food experiences: stocking up on freshly boiled syrup on Maine Maple Sunday; dilatory, late-summer barn suppers at Turner Farm on North Haven; even scarfing scandalously overpriced hamburgers in the nosebleed section at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
But the one I was looking forward to most was gingerly clutching onto a sugar-dusted fairground funnel cake, guiding the drips along the wax paper away from my arm, onto the dirt while sneaking tiny, steamy bites before the dough cooled. I also loved the way my jacket smelled afterwards: like spilled cider and fryer oil.
