^^^^Uh oh - and up until now I completely respected you and then in one brief post you've destroyed all of that. JK. To each her own.

I agree with the "love Boston Market" posters. There was a busy time in our lives when that was as close as we came to a home cooked meal. Unfortunately, they closed all of the ones here.

Me too! What, you people weren't the kids who piled their entire dinner into one big pile, mixed it around some, then got as many pieces of everything into one bite?

You're the no-food-touchers, aren't you?

Apparently you've never had a garbage plate.

My previous post was in response to epchick. Sorry. Didn't get it in there fast enough.

I can sleep now! ;)

Crap Honeychile - went to edit that last one out and you had already QFP'd it. :p Everyone is typing too fast for me tonight.

Doesn't matter - I've lost all respect for you as well Agzg (lol). And no I never mixed my food up as a child. I'm anal retentive like that. Also explains why I color code my closet and love The Container Store (an overwhelming need for control and order), so you can see why the whole KFC chicken, corn, potatoe, gravy thing is deeply disturbing to me and my world view.

Finallly, WHAT exactly is the mess in that picture? :eek: Never mind - just looked at it again. So THAT's a garbage plate. Hmmm...can't say I'm sorry to have missed that.

^I was thinking more on the lines of bbq, corn bread and homemade ice cream - or the Dirty O's hot dog & fries, but hey, different food porn for different people!

ETA: I am NOT a food mixer - unless it's soup. Those garbage plates gross me out! I don't even like sides (well, maybe slaw) with my bbq!

I love the container store, too. I squeal over post-it's like 12 year old girls over Justin Beiber. I just like mixing my food, I guess.

The "mess" (ouch) in the picture is a Garbage plate, in fact, my favorite garbage plate. It's basically home fries and macaroni salad, with some sort of meat over it plus "hots" and other condiments (and if anyone here is from or has lived in WNY, you understand me when I say something with ground beef in it is a condiment). The one I posted is a hot dog garbage plate, my favorite (minus that crazy amount of ketchup), but the original usually has cheeseburger patties and italian rolls instead of the hot dog.

You can get them with fish, eggs, sausage, pretty much anything.

That, my friends, is what college-aged guys (and gals) will eat at 2am after drinking beer all night.

They're great but I almost never finish a whole garbage plate (that's what she said).

ETA: Honeychile, can you explain to me why I can eat that, and the KFC bowls, and mix together my entire Thanksgiving dinner (complete with shredding the roll and mixing it with my potatoes), but I can't get behind slaw and fries on a Primanti Brother's Sandwich? I think it's because I'm not huge on cabbage.

ETA2: Oh man. I just realized that you guys are going to think that you can't take me anywhere. I do NOT do this with meals at fine restaurants.

OK, so I do, but just a little bit. Mostly because I wasn't sure if it was a soup or a dip.

Wasn't there a PBS show on sandwiches from around the country? I know they mentioned the Hot Brown (eerily like our Turkey Devonshire), and some loose meat sandwich.

Okay, I checked! It's a special by local boy Rick Sebak of WQED, Sandwiches That You Will Like. A lot of them were disgusting, but I was going to Buffalo that summer, and tried the Beef on Weck. Pretty good, but not an Italian Beef from Chicago.

ETA1 - Once you've tried a Primanti's (and turned your back on the cook to eat it the way you'd like), you'll love it. Especially if you like the above!

ETA2 - Don't worry about none of us wanting to eat with you unless someone tries to put a bib on you first! As I said, food porn is different for everybody. Mine must include chocolate! How do you think the Cold Stone people came up with their concept?

ETA3 - I love the Container Store, too!

ha! i just came from chipotle. i get the burrito bowl normally because i want EVERYTHING mixed up. mmmm. it tastes so much better that way.

i thought i was the only one that called it food porn. i started doing so after seeing thisiswhyyourefat.com.

You're pulling on my heart strings here. My hometown is situated about an hour and a half southeast of Buffalo and two hours south of Rochester (which is where the Garbage Plate) comes in.

Beef on Weck is the #1 thing that I miss from home (yes, even more than Buffalo Wings, but that's probably because I guzzle Frank's Hot Sauce like it's my job). I went to this great place in Virginia of all places and it was a bar owned by a guy from Buffalo. The Beef on Weck was fantastic and that was the first time I had had a Beef on Weck in over a year. Since then, I have one every time I go home, doesn't matter the weather.

I have had an Italian Beef here. In my mind, it was pretty good, but not a Beef on Weck. I think the closest yinzers have is Ox Roast.

^ My guy & I were on the phone, watching tv "together", and I was channel surfing. This guy was showing all the things people deep fry, and we were getting weirded out more and more by the minute. We finally dubbed it the food porn channel.


And I'm really needing an O's hot dog right now!

The only thing I ever bought at Dirty O's was beer. I liked five guys.

ETA: Scratch that. We had pizza from there a lot. I must have had a hot dog.

I mentioned Primanti's to live-in and he made some sort of sighing noise. What a nut.

This thread is now making my tummy growl.

My foods touch each other. My foods molest each other. Foods taste best when they are soaking in each other's goodness.

For instance, I make kick-ass cabbage that kicks even more ass when it touches the macaroni and so forth.

lol! mmmmmm soak it up!
