PULL UP A STOOL WHILE I JERK YOU AN OLD-FASHIONED EGG MALT. Or something.

Can I get a tuna melt to go with that?

Let me tell you about our special today:



Actually, I just learned about Garbage Plate yesterday and had to make it for dinner. It was surprisingly good!

I feel both sated and bloated, now.  Hit me up with a chocolate milkshake, and I'll just wait for the impending heart attack.

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant has an 'Egg Soda' on their menu, but I haven't been brave enough to try it. One day!

French fries, sour cream, chili (or sloppy joe?), cheese...? What's the other stuff?

Looks like macaroni salad.  Or maybe it's mac and cheese.

Anna Mae Bollocks

Probably salad, there's something that looks like parsley flakes in it.
And there's a little chopped onion...IT HAS VEGETABLES. Reagan would approve it for a school lunch.

Why does the Short-course Off-road Drivers Association have a fountain, anyway?

In memory of those who's Off-road adventures took them Off-cliff.

It is, indeed, macaroni salad.

And the sauce is a special sauce!

History of Garbage Plate:

http://americanfood.about.com/od/extremeamericancuisine/a/garplate.htm

QuoteThe garbage plate was born in Rochester, New York, at Nick Tahou Hots, a landmark restaurant famous for this great example of American extreme cuisine. The earliest version goes all the way back to 1918, when it was originally called "Hots and Potatoes." The regular customers called it by the nickname "Hots and Po-tots," and it was basically a plate piled high with fried potatoes, baked beans, hot dogs, onions, mustard, and a chili-like meat sauce.

It wasn't until many years later that the dish was officially renamed the "Garbage Plate." The restaurant and bar had became very popular with Rochester's large community of college students, who upon seeing this huge plate of food, and not knowing what exactly it was called on the menu, would simply ask the waitresses, "can I get one of those plates with all the garbage on it?"

That makes me wonder if there's something, somewhere, called a Shit Plate.  :lol:
