Remember that pivot I mentioned in my blog entry for the Coffee Milk episode? Welp, this was the episode I had initially intended to complete. I began conducting interviews in March 2022 and was able to record my final interview by August 2022. The snag? My schedule had less time for podcast episode editing at that point. BUT I kept chipping away at it and FINALLY have a finished episode to share!!!

I have missed researching, conducting interviews and putting episodes out more frequently and I’m hoping to pick the pace up again! (Another episode is already slowly but surely in progress….)

Back to the Garbage Plate… when I pursued this episode I didn’t know all the details regarding the trademark. It was important to me to speak to Alex Tahou of Nick Tahou Hots so he could “tell it like it is” rather than have it be hearsay. I’m incredibly thankful and honored that he trusted me with properly sharing this tale.

And thanks to ALL of the Tale Tellers who have contributed to this episode and have patiently waited for it to arrive!

You can listen to the episode here or anywhere you stream podcasts.

Note: I’m embarrassed to type that when I was in Rochester years ago, I unknowingly ate a copycat…and had it without meat sauce! Thankfully, Mike “Thunder” Warren shared a photo from Trash Plate Central of an actual Garbage Plate for me to use. Learn from my mistake by listening to this episode to know what and where to order!
