Upstate NY Cuisine


Today I thought I'd share an image of a popular dish in parts of upstate NY, mostly Rochester, which is about 3 hours from me. It's called a garbage plate, and as you can tell by looking at the picture, it literally looks like they just take leftovers and put it all in a big pile on a plate for you. Its good though!
Common ingredient in a typical garbage plate is putting macaroni salad and potato chunks (sort of like hash browns) on the bottom layer. Then you put some hamburger patties or ground beef on top (can also add a sausage or hot dog) and you cover it with onions and melted cheese and other spices.
