Take a look at the history of the Garbage Plate, a protein-rich dish that dates back to 1918 in Rochester, New York, and is a favorite late-night feast for college students.
The comfort food staple dates back to the early 20th century and remains a celebrated favorite on Rochester’s food landscape to this day, combining a medley of hot dogs or hamburgers, home fries, macaroni salad and meat hot sauce, plus accouterments like mustard, ketchup and onions.
