A break from the map - Garbage Plates

Ok, the first thing you are going to be told when you get to Rochester, is all about the Garbage plate. Your FYE class will explain to you how bad it is for your health, how just one plate is a days worth of callories.

But you should try it at least once.

Pretty much every dinning hall on campus has it's version, mostly because they use different "meat sauces". I wouldn't recommend eating one in the middle of the day.

What a Garbage Plate consists of:
  • 2 cheese burger patties (no buns)
  • half a plate of macaroni salad
  • half a plate of home fries
  • a heap of "meat sauce" - simular to michigan sauce
  • onions
  • mustard
  • and two pieces of bread with some pats of butter
Now, if someone says that they want to go to the original Nick Tahoes, Don't. It's in a dangerous area of town, it's not worth it.

Some decent places to get a plate
  • Henrietta Hots or H-Hots on Rt.15
  • Gitsis on Monroe Ave
  • Jay's Dinner has one but you can only have one side (fries or the mac salad), so to have a traditional plate you need to pay for an extra side.... still good though. on Rt. 15
It's something to try, definitely try it once, you should share one for your first try. They are good in the weirdest way.
