From Nick Tahou's in Rochester, NY. This is three sausage patties, a huge heap of fried potatoes, a pile of baked beans, onions, and chili sauce, served with thick white bread and a Pepsi. Mine is a variation on the standard, which is usually cheeseburgers instead of sausage, macaroni salad instead of baked beans and a plop of mustard on top. But, I'm picky. Other options include hot dogs (red or white), hamburgers, fish, fried egg - and the strangest, a deep-fried pork chop. I've tried most of them, but generally stick with sausage or white hots: "sausage plate, beans, no mustard" - I can order it in my sleep. It's a huge amount of super-filling food, and perfect for a late night post-bar snack. My little circle of friends used to eat them before the parties started, after classes, Fridays. I ate two at a time, once. A friend nearly finished three. Ah...
That looks good! Now I’m hungry…
Now that’s a meal that would be a pleasure to tuck into! Yum.
yeah. it’s perfect drinking food.
the picture doesn’t convey the true size of the thing, though. it’s like two or three pounds of food. that foam plate is probably 10×10 inches, and it’s piled 2″ deep. $6.95 for the sausage plate.
i could use one right now…
yiiii… I’d put Nick’s out of my mind. good post-boozer food but man that place is nasty. the men’s room was the only one I’d ever gone into and turned right around, and I really had to pee from all the beer, because someone had taken a dump on the floor.
4 RIT! 2
the downtown nicks closes early these days. we had to go to the one on Lylle Ave.. it’s not the same, but we did get to see some hooker’s ass, in the booth a few rows back.
That’s good stuff, but they can mess you up for a few days if not careful. ;-)
My record was 3 plates…
cheeburger, mac, homefries, of course. Extra hots, extra onions, mountain dew.
I grew up in Rochester, on Garbage Plates. Now I´m a chef in Spain, and just looking at one of these plates makes my mouth water and sends shivers down my spine.
Man, could I go for one right now!!!!!!!!
P.S. I think it is a travesty that Tahou´s is no longer Nicks. That is truly garbage!
