i've only ever had one twice..... but today, for some reason, i'm ABSOLUTELY CRAVING one.

oh droooooooool.

potato's, chili....??

whats in it?

it did make me kind of hungry, in a savage way.

it's hashbrowns, macaroni salad, 2 cheeseburgers
absolutely smothered in a spicy meaty sauce. (the sauce is much like cincinnati recipe chili. but spicier. not as sweet/cinnamony).

omg. i wish i didn't even find that picture. rochester is 5 hours from me. and i want one SO BAD.

That's about as appealing as an abortion clinic. Sorry.

i know. it looks bad. i thought so too.
but once you have one.....that picture will make you drooooool.

more like a heart attack plate...

i think ill eat my turkey club at lunch, but that does look tasty

Good god! It looks kind of like poutin. I think that's how you spell it. Chips with gravy and cheese curds.

eeeeek.
and a hearty no thank you.

yeah, looks like a real artery clogger. No thanks. I would think it's tantamount to eating one of those frozen Hungry Man dinners, in terms of fat, cholesterol, and sodium.

Is that the "After" picture?

Or Chipotle.

well, i didn't say it was 'health' food.

This makes me feel good about going to McDonalds in ten minutes.

There is a diner on Irving Park (in Chicago) that is open 24 hours that serves something just like this called "The Slinger"
The sign says that if you have to ask what is in it, you shouldn't order it.
Then they have a cartoon of a dude sitting on the toilet or running to it, I can't remember with a caption that says "Slingiarrhea"

Edit: I usually just get eggs or a sandwich because I am afraid.

I love greasy spoon type food but that looks awful. I'd probably enjoy eating it though. Tuna fish salad on wheat from home today.

Looks-wise it kind of reminds me of a "Horseshoe" which is apparently Central Illinois thing(my wife is from Springfield) but honestly this sounds like it would taste better. A "Horseshoe" basically consists of a sandwhich on white bread/bun of your choice(I don't think there is an official ingredient, I've seen them with hamburger, sliced beef, or boneless buffalo wings(my fave)). They then cover the plate in crinkle cut fries and then smother the whole thing in Cheddar Cheese sauce....honestly the cheese can get to be a bit much, but I figure it is safe to have one every couple of years or so when we go back to visit.

Nick F'n Tahou's--can't beat them cold beans on the side.

Loves me some Rochester grease.

THANK YOU!


i've only ever had this twice.....but today, i started thinking about it because i'm planning a trip to rochester for my friend's wedding.
i will DEFINITELY be going to tahou's when i'm there!

Chili Cheese Fries is the best thing on earth. Pure awesomeness.

If you go by way of Pittsburgh, stop in to The O' for a big 'ole boat 'o fries.

no. i won't be going through pittsburgh for this particular trip.....i live very close to 90....so, i'll be taking that the whole way.

BUT, my aunt just moved to pittsburgh. and i LOVE pittsburgh. (i know. that's weird. but i do.) so, i'll keep the big 'o' in mind. (well, i already do. but i'm sure you mean something else. ))

Day Star, when and why are you going to Rochester? From the east or west? as many people know, i live in syracuse. as many people do not know, my brother lives in rochester. he went to RIT and ate at Nick's everyday for 4 years. he's not too fat or unhealthy looking. i had the garbage plate and didn't really care for it. i was starving at the time even so i ate it even when i didn't want to. we went there after my brother's bachelor party. i think it was around 2am. the place is about the size of a regular greasy-food dive, and there was probably 50 people in there, with another 20 or so around the counter and spilling out the door. at 2am. anyway, if you're craving it go for it, but i don't recommend anyone going out of there way for it.

i'll be heading that way from cleveland on june 30 for my friend's wedding....before heading on to albany on july 2 to see some other friends. somehow i need to get myself to the ocean for the FIRST TIME EVER! so, i'm not sure where i'll be going after albany (if not back to cleveland.)

I bet with some good hot sauce....that would make a great last meal in prison.
