Anybody not from Rochester, NY, will probably think this is disgusting. Anybody from Rochester knows better.
I present to you, ladies and gentlemen, the signature dish of the Flower City ... the Garbage Plate.
View attachment 67201973
The Garbage Plate is the creation of Nick Tahou Hots on East Main Street in the city. It consists of your choice of two of french fries, home fries, mac salad or baked beans; topped by two of your choice of hamburgers, cheeseburgers or hot dogs (plus some other variations that nobody ever gets); topped with a hot meat sauce that is Rochester's signature condiment, onions and spicy mustard. I generally get mine with cheeseburgers, home fries/mac and sans mustard. It is a wonderful combination of starch, grease and spice that goes down like a drunk prom date after a night of drinking. It is best slathered with a copious amount of Frank's Red Hot and ketchup.
Most restaurants in the area have their own version of the garbage plate, but the original is the best in town.
