Good Food

Yesterday's argument about garbage plates got me thinking: Garbage plates are definitely Rochester originals, but singling them out as the iconic example of Rochester food sells this place short. There are a lot of good, cheap local restaurants serving food that deserves more attention than sphincter-busting garbage plates:

Dibella's makes good subs. The rolls are fresh, the ingredients are good, the portions are big, and the service is outstanding. What's not to like about this place?

Abbott's custard is uncommonly good. Here's a Rochester original that is worth bragging about.

Great Northern Pizza Kitchen doesn't have as many locations as Dibella's or Abbott's, but their pizza is a far cry from your average pie. And it ain't bland.

Tom Wahl's is a good place to get a burger when you're craving one, and you can get red-hots and white-hots there, too. They'll also serve you Wahl's root beer in a frosty mug - tasty.

The Dinosaur isn't technically a Rochester original but they put out some great BBQ at a cool location.

So, there you are: five places in Rochester where you can get food that you won't find on every street corner in America, and none of them have anything to do with those gut-churning placas de la basura.

Mandatory Fatass Disclaimer®: Eating a lot of this food will guarantee a fat ass, but in moderation it is all good stuff.
