The Garbage Plate (Burger Version) Recipe - Food.com image

If you are from the Rochester area that phrase would make your mouth water. This is any drunk college kids best friend. It is a mixture of meat, carbs, and more carbs piled onto a foam container found in Nick Tahou's and hots food joints all over the Rochester area. For about 6 bucks (including tip) you get this plate plus a soda, not too shabby. They have a veggie version, fish, and my favorite--the white hot version. When I left the Rochester to go to school the first thing I would do when I came home was got to

  • Then add sugar and spices. Cook 30 minutes, adding water if needed.
  • ASSEMBLY:.
  • Mix together the noodles, mayo, celery, seasoning, and carrots and place into a large square foam container (or plate, but not as authentic).
  • Fry potatoes in butter until very crispy then put next to mac salad on plate.
  • Place OPTIONAL beans of plate if needed.
  • Cook hamburger until well done and top with sliced cheese.
  • Then place burgers ON TOP of the mac salad and home fries.
  • Mix together about equal parts mustard and horseradish and pour on top of burgers and top with optional onions.
  • Pour hot sauce or VERY LARGE spoonfuls of special sauce and a HUGE glob of ketchup over burgers (some like to stir everything together so its one huge mess).
  • Eat with plastic fork, or just use the bread as a spoon and try not to pass out. This should take about an hour to finish.
  • YUM, every drunk college kids dream food.
