Hey, That's Not YOUR Indigestion Generator, That's OURS

They had some kind of celebration of Buffalo, of all places, in Brooklyn, of all places, and the article about it in The New Yorker, which you can read here, talks about the culinary specialty of Buffalo, the garbage plate, a pile of food seemingly at random on one plate. But garbage plates are not really a Buffalo thing, although you can find them there, and in Syracuse, and in other parts of upstate and Western New York. No, it's a Rochester thing, and Rochesterians are angry at The New Yorker because the article didn't credit Rochester with Garbage Plates. Buffalo is about wings and beef on weck. (The article doesn't even mention beef on weck, which is an even more egregious omission.) Like cheesesteaks are Philly, apizza is New Haven, speidies are Binghamton, and Primanti's is Pittsburgh, you can't talk garbage plates without mentioning Rochester, can you?
