Fries and Macaroni An Introduction to the Regional Cuisine of Western NY & esp. Rochester With apologies to John Prine and Nick Tahou's Craig and Janice Hanson Lyrics: I live in Rochester; we have our own food here It's about time that all the country was told. If heartburn was lightning and indigestion was thunder This old town would have burnt down a long time ago (Chorus) Make me a plateful of fries and macaroni Make me some red hots and split them long ways Just give me some hot sauce with ground beef and onions Put 'em all together in a big Garbage Plate. When I was a young girl I ate frozen custard And washed it down with a bottle of pop Now I drink Genny Cream Ale, and I eat salt potatoes Buffalo wings, Chicken French and white hots. (Chorus) There's fries in the kitchen, I can smell 'em burnin' And I can't eat nothin' since that plate yesterday. How can a city have so many good restaurants And all that you hear of is that old Garbage Plate? (Chorus) Put 'em all toget! her in a big Garbage Plate.
