The New Yorker should've done some research first. It would've saved them a lot of hurt.

The Rochester Red Wings are among many locals giving the New Yorker good natured grief on social media over an article implying that the garbage plate was from Buffalo and not Rochester.

Now, everyone in Western New York knows that the garbage plate originated in the Flower City, specifically from Nick Tahou's.

The New Yorker ran a piece about an event held in Brooklyn last weekend called the Buffalo City Fair.

Our Queen City brothers and sisters have a lot of great food to lay claim to including wings, beef on weck and stuffed banana peppers.

However, the fair advertised garbage plates as well and the article heavily focused on the Rochester cuisine.

While the love people had for the plate in the article was genuine, there was no mention of its origins sixty miles east of Buffalo.

The Red Wings jokingly tweeted that they were canceling their subscription.

 


This comes just weeks after Frank's Hot Sauce made the (to some) egregious mistake of suggesting wings be served with ranch dressing. 

 

Get it together, people.
