December 03, 2003don't even get me started on Little Venice chicken wings.For you kids keeping score at home who are wondering about the Rochester-based culinary delight Monk and I are prattling on about, this:  is a Nick Tahou's Garbage Plate. I must point out that unlike other fast food/greasy spoon establishments who entice you with glossy, misleading photos of food that look nothing like what you will receive, the above picture is totally accurate. It is exactly, 100% to the "T" what you will be handed when you order a Garbage Plate; a fatty pile of meat and starch on a grease-splattered paper plate. God love them. (note to boyfriend, G: Get out your big pants, Daddy. During our trip upstate you will drink Genny, and you will eat Garbage.) Posted by Antigeist at December 3, 2003 01:42 PMComments
It could be the two cosmos and three beers I consumed last night, but that looks pretty damn good right now... Posted by: Emma at December 3, 2003 02:16 PMAhhh, see that's it. The booze in you. It is a pile of food that is (by design) the perfect compliment to lots and lots of booze. Even the recipe calls for a case of beer as a side dish.

How about you just drive by the brewery and treat him to Golden Anniversery? Posted by: monk at December 3, 2003 04:25 PMI know, Genny beer sucks. 12 Horse is the only barely potable variety, emphasis on the barely. But while in Rome, and since he's never even tasted one I figure he should, if only to know that he never wants a second. Same way I make everyone eat Scrapple when I take them to Delaware.
