Our friend Aardvark did an amazing thing for me. He sent me two different jars of authentic Rochester "hot sauce", because I'd heard so much about it, and as the Hot Sauce Expert, it felt wrong that I wasn't also an expert at that other kind of hot sauce, which so many of you are so fond of, in between telling everyone how no pizza they ever had was as good as the one from their hometown which almost everyone moves out of as soon as they can.

Not only that, but he sent a hand-written, lovingly crafted recipe for authentic GARBAGE PLATE! Which was great, because while I was excited to try my new product, I wasn't sure how to use it. Welp, maybe one day I will make the 'plate, but as described it contains more calories than I generally eat in an entire day, even when I'm not dieting. So we'll put a pause on the authentic GP experience for now. For now.

I couldn't wait, though. I had to know.

I put a few spoonfuls of "Coach Tony's Authentic Beef Hot Sauce" in a little bowl, and put it in the microwave for 15 seconds to warm, and then got a tastin' spoon for me and Kathy. Here is where it gets interesting (for a specific subset of interesting...)

We both had the exact same reaction upon that first taste.

"It's Skyline!"

Now, that's not exactly true, as there is obviously a (slightly) different spice mixture, and Coach Tony's was actually pretty darn hot, where as Cincinnati chili is not.

But it's Cincinnati chili.

So now I know what "Rochester hot sauce" is, and now I know EXACTLY how to use it. I will bring the world something it has never known:

Cincinatti-Rochester Fusion Cuisine.

Although there's such an overlap, I doubt anyone would notice.

Rochester hot sauce is a less-sweet, more hot, Cincinnati chili, and I love them both.

No? No takers? No thoughts? Alllrighty then, I am happy to enjoy my Rochester hot sauce in peace.

I'm out of town.

When I get back I'll address..............

Will there be a video/ review?

Commander wouldn't do a reaction video to drinking airplane bottles, can you do a reaction video to a garbage plate?

No. Also I will never eat a traditional Rochester garbage plate. But I will heartily enjoy my "hot sauce", and I'll do it proud!

It's usually cold in Upstate so we we need the massive caloric intake for warmth. In summertime the calories keep Rochestarians cool.

I'll be nice to Pinback for awhile if he posts the recipe for the Garbage plate hot sauce. I used to have the recipe from GT Rocks but lost it. We make something similar using ground beef, tabasco, and hot country sweet but I'd be keen to make it for real next time.

I think everyone in the community would win here for that one. Finally, something to bring us together.

How about it, Pinner?

The recipe for the hot sauce is get Aardvark to mail it to you. I don't understand the request.

I agree you should not be eating such trash at this time.

lol yo Leslie talkin bout that STANKIN ASS PISS!!

Tell us about teh SAUCE!

Well, here it is. The world's first Cincinnati-Rochester fusion dish: The Rochester four-way.

I took a Cincinnati four-way (noodles, chili, onions, cheese), replaced the standard thin spaghetti noodles with elbow macaroni in deference to the classic Garbage Plate ingredient, and replaced the chili with Mama K's hot sauce.



For the rest of the family, the sauce -- "mild" though it was labelled -- was a bit too spicy, but all of the plates were cleaned.

I loved it a lot.

I consider this whole thing a fantastic success, and I am very grateful to Aardvark for the opportunity.

Dude! I want to get outside a plate of that! Rat now!

I said the same thing the first time I was held down and subjected to a Rochester four-way.

Second time, eh, you get used to it.
