garbage plate
I sometimes try to explain to people the only good thing to ever come out of Rochester, NY was the Nick Tahou’s Garbage Plate. Most people can barely believe that it is a plate of macaroni salad and home fries, with 2 cheeseburgers on top, with chopped onions, mustard, and Nick’s world famous hot/meat sauce on top. It comes with a hunk of italian bread and butter, and it is simply the greatest drunk-food anyone ever invented. Ask anyone from Rochester.
A former schoolmate of mine sent this amazing photo of the thing as proof, and I thought it perfectly captures the cuisine. Enjoy.

You bastard. As soon as I took one look at your page and saw this photo, my mouth started watering. Now I’ll have a craving for one of these fine plates for the next several weeks. I think I may be in Rochester over Easter weekend, that is my only saving grace.
The garbage plate is not so different from the Hawaiian dish loco moco. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/55/127189406_d7e88fd4a0.jpg
Hey,
Kodak and Genessee Beer came out of Rochester! Who can forget the Pack Rat Museum - er - Strong Museum.
There are many other good things to Rachacha:
Girls who were oversized sweatshirts to cover their ass.
Seabreeze - the amusement park that had the oldest carousel in existence until they burned it down 10 yrs ago while tarring the roof.
all this and you’re only 90 minutes to Buffalo!
That is the nastiest thing I have ever seen….probably great though when drunk! By the way Chris, your link back is at
