Favorite Hometown Foods

This week's picture page will highlight some of my favorite hometown Rochester, NY area foods...I'm really hungry right now and these pictures are making it way worse! Mmmmmmm.....

The best pizza on the planet, PONTILLO'S! Last time we were in Rochester, we froze a large and brought it back with us on the plane. We recently found out that there is one in Sarasota, FL so we WILL be making a weekend road trip there sometime this Spring or Summer to stock up.

Bill Gray's, Home of the Worlds Greatest Cheeseburger! And it really is...The fries are so good too, in all their crispy golden goodness.

The Infamous Garbage/Trash Plate Not an item you normally eat all that often if you live there, but a must have item on short trips back up North. Legen...wait for it...dary

Honorable mention goes out to the Oswego Sub Shop Cheeseburger Sub. I didn't actually have all that many of these when I went to college at SUNY Oswego, but I have fond memories of the ones that I did have and could go for one now...Have never really found one anywhere that comes close... I would get one with I think just lettuce and melted cheese on top of the ground beef, maybe some mayo too..

What food items do you crave that you don't have access to on a regular basis? Post them here and include some links so we can check them out if possible!

To my immediate family: We're talking the best of the best here, so no mention of Mark's 'Inferior' Pizza is necessary. :o)

Whatever you're just scared to have us mention Marks pizza because you know people love it as much as we do and you can't argue that their wings are the best. Any food at Wegmans makes the list and all what you said.
