100% True Bad-For-You Bliss: The Garbage Plate

Ok, you may be a Rochester native, you may be here for work, college, or to get away from your gorgeous coastal hometown with perfect weather, but in any event you are not a true Rochesterian if you have not fallen in love with the hometown late-night-super-early breakfast special: The Garbage (or Trash) Plate! If you've tried it and hate it, get out! Haha, just kidding :) BUT it is safe to say that if you're a picnic food and burger guy (or gal) and you don't like the occasional plate that you're justifiably and certifiably insane.

As a Rochester native (well, Fairport) I have grown up on these priceless plates of delicious and delightful trash and needless to say, I am regretfully admitting to never having a Tahou's Plate! Therefore, I am not shamefully not a true connoisseur and am calling upon my Rochesterian friends for help! What's your favourite plate? What do you feel makes the perfect plate? Comment below! For me, it's all about the hot sauce... so tell me what you think! And perhaps we can all take a trip to Nick Tahous!

  2. so I have had dogtown, gitsis', nick tahou's, stevie T's, The landing, Mark's texas Hots, Rohrbach's and Marshall St. Grill's 'Plates' and THOROUGHLY enjoy dogtown as, seriously, one of the best plates you can grab. Nick Tahou's may have been the originator but FFS it's nothing special - Stevie T's (his son) makes better plates but honestly Dog Town's plates are WAY better; the homefries are delicious with their seasoning and the mac salad has multiple flavors (other than mayo) plus those peeps now how to cook dogs up right (or burgers but I prefer white and reds) not to mention sloshing with Frank's Red Hot just adding to it instead of just covering up the bad.

    DOGTOWN FTMFW!!!!

  3. Cobb's Hill Pizza on Park Ave - they're not the first thought for a plate, but they are hands down far and away the BEST plate in Rochester.

    Webster Hots certainly has the largest plate, and you have the option of deep-fried tater tots.
