"The Rochester original credited with popularizing the Garbage Plate, historically serving truck drivers and bar crowds with a hearty, energy-packed meal. The archetypal dish from this diner combined a protein (hamburger or hot dog), hash browns, and a mac- or pasta-style salad, all cooked on the griddle, piled into a Styrofoam container, and finished with a generous meat sauce — a messy, satisfying late-night staple with strong local nostalgia." - Alan Sytsma, Margalit Cutler
