GARBAGE PLATE[edit]

I grew up in Rochester and am very familiar with the "Garbage Plate" at Nick Tahoe's. I remember a time when using the term Garbage Plate at Nick's was frowned upon, I wonder when it became acceptable to do so?

Probably around the time Nick's started using the slogan "home of the garbage plate" on their to-go cups. ALKIVAR™

I noticed that the article states there are many other regional restraunts that have a similar theme. I wasn't sure if Fairport Hots or Penfield Hots actually existed because I'm from the other side of the city, but I know there is an Irondequoit Hots (near House of Guitars on Titus Ave) and Greece Hots (near Greece Apollo Middle School on Maiden Lane). It's not like it makes much of a difference though. I was also wondering if adding a reference to white hots would be valid. White hots are a type of hot dog local to Rochester and are served at Tahous either on a plate or alone. I was just wondering because no one I have ever talked to that is not from western New York has ever heard of a white hot. - martianpenguin

wow I had forgotten about white hots... add a section to hot dog about them and link to it :) ALKIVAR™ 07:08, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Name Change[edit]

In 1966 or so, I worked the graveyard shift at the original West Main location. Everyone called it Nick Tahoe's back then -- I think that was even on the signage. Nick was a great guy, though the crowd that hit the place after the bars closed at 2am could be a little um... rowdy. Clocke (talk) 18:22, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should it be noted the resturant has now changed names. It's still owned by the same person, but a big argument with his family or something brought a name change, at least to the Gate's location. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.207.170.179 (talk • contribs) 16:45, 29 June 2007

It was only the spinoff location that was sold and renamed. —Cryptic 14:06, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You know, this makes absolutely no sense. Everyone knows Nick Tahou's as a brand name. Why would anyone in their right mind want to change a well established name? With Nick Tahou's he was guaranteed to have business on just the name. Oh, and dont bring it up with the owner. I was there last year getting a plate, and started to ask the owner why the name change and he stopped smiling and looked angry and said in a quick, matter of fact way, "This is Steve T's now." Pretty much end of the conversation right there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.50.141.112 (talk) 21:04, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a reliable source[edit]

I removed the following:

The Roberts Wesleyan College Male Cross Country team also has an annual tradition. The team runs seven miles to Nick Tahou's, consumes a garbage plate, and then runs seven miles back to campus.

I couldn't find a source, but if someone else has one, then please add it back. Jennavecia ^(Talk) 05:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sauce[edit]

"Nick's proprietary hot sauce, a greasy sauce with spices and ground beef. " Otherwise known as last week's grill scrapings... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maczenwes (talk • contribs) 20:46, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Health concerns[edit]

"Health.com named the Garbage Plate the fattiest food in the state of New York."

This is a meme which I believe is okay to be put in the public domain as I have since it's a modification of a US Government public domain work, unless the words 'garbageplate' and 'genny cream ale' prohibit this.

NTH doesn't appear to defend a trademark on "garbage plate", if they have one at all. My bigger question is what this image would contribute to the article. Ibadibam (talk) 22:53, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not adding it, still might be a possibility of a Genny Cream Ale copyright issue. B137 (talk) 01:30, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
