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).

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!

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.
