Frontier Field, home of the Rochester Red Wings, serves up a New York specialty that defies convention—the Garbage Plate. Despite its name, this chaotic, hearty dish is a local legend. A true Rochester original, the Garbage Plate is a pile-up of home fries, macaroni salad, and a choice of cheeseburger, hot dog, or sausage, all smothered in mustard, onions, and Rochester’s signature meat-based hot sauce. Every bite is a savory, tangy, and spicy explosion of flavors that somehow just works. While it may not be the most elegant stadium food, it embodies the spirit of upstate New York—unpretentious, comforting, and downright delicious.
