Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • Nick Tahou Hots on West Main Street is the originator: Alexander Tahou founded what became Nick Tahou Hots in 1918, and the family trademarked the Garbage Plate name, as CITY Magazine's plate feature recounts. It placed as a Best Plate finalist in the 2025 readers' poll. Order the original plate where the dish began.
