With its origins of Rochester, New York, The Garbage Plate is an icon. Legend has it that this gut buster was born in 1918 at Nick Tahou's Hots, and became popular during the Great Depression as a filling, inexpensive meal. Why 'garbage' you say? Well, it's a pile of food built of home fries, macaroni salad, cheeseburger patties, meat sauce, chopped onions, mustard, and ketchup.
