You Are What You Eat
You are What you Eat
Hello everyone, when I first started this blog I wanted to create a comprehensive list that you could easily reference. I don’t expect people to dig through my old reviews to try to figure out which plate is the best. I’ll be keeping this spreadsheet […]
On Instagram, I asked my followers to recommend plate places; and boy did they deliver. Charlie Riedel’s aka Charlie’s Restaurant, is the best basic plate I’ve ever had; bar none. It’s better than a lot of the “deluxe” plates I’ve had. There isn’t any one […]
And… we’re back! It’s been a long time since I had the pleasure of sitting down in front of a plate. I had a moment to myself so I decided to venture down to Monroe Ave and try out Marshall Street. I’d been meaning to […]
JB Quimby’s and I have a long history. When I worked in Henrietta, we would go there almost every Wednesday for the lunch special. I think it was 5$, but I could be mistaken; and it isn’t clear to me that they still run that […]
This is the beginning of a series I’m calling, “I revisit a place to give it a second look.” (I’m still working on the name.) I had the chance to check out Dogtown (again) after a long hiatus. I’ll say up front that I’m a […]
You’ve had them before, we all have. The mediocre plate. You know exactly where to get them, and exactly what they’re going to taste like. But why is it that they all taste similar? Why do all bad plates have similar issues? I’ve tried more […]
For the first time in a long time, I had trouble finishing a plate. In the past, I’ve had trouble finishing plates because there was “too much” food. I’ve never had an experience where a plate grossed me out. I’ll elaborate, the “Pond Plate” from […]
I had a chance to check out Mac’s Philly steaks a few weeks ago. As has become the norm, I polled my Instagram followers and Mac’s Philly won the vote. For 12.52 you can get the “Mac’s Plate” which comes with all the standard ingredients. […]
A few people on Instagram mentioned that I should try the plate from Dicky’s. I’ve been in Rochester a while, and I lived in Swillburg. I didn’t drink at Dicky’s despite it’s convenience. This new iteration of Dicky’s is a lot nicer than what I […]
On the day I attended the Red Wings game they were doing a “bobblefork” giveaway. I was lucky enough that the people behind me had received a few and they were kind enough to give me one. I quite enjoyed the game and the ice-cold […]
I had the chance to check out the recently opened “Old Stone Tavern” in the South Wedge. The Old Stone Tavern opened up in the old Orbs location and it’s been open about a year now. I’m so out of touch I didn’t even realize […]
I wasn’t sure where I wanted to go to get my next plate. Thankfully, my Instagram followers came to the rescue. Many of you wrote in to tell me to get out to Salvatore’s for their plate; so I did. Salvatore’s has many locations. For […]
I had a chance to check out McCann’s garbage plate offering a few weeks ago. I’ll save y’all some reading and say that it was one of the best plates I’ve ever had. This was another situation where someone contacted me on Instagram and let […]
