Everyone and their brother has tried to rip it off. Everyone in town tries their own version. We've got Dumpster Plates, Sloppy Plates, Trash Plates, Garbage Platters...the list goes on. Non of them come close.

It's not the best part of town, that's for sure. They used to be open 24/7 but someone got shot or something a few years back and now they close at 8pm. But they're opening on soon near one of the malls in one of the suburbs. There was also a second one in the my town, but the family split them up when someone died. The changed the name, but it's still the same. Down to the guys behind the grill who've been working there since I was in middle school.

For those who aren't familiar, dissect the making of a Garbage Plate and you will find:

Choose One: cheeseburger, hamburger, Italian sausage, hot dog, “white hots”, chicken tenders, eggs, fish , grilled cheese or fried ham.

Then pick two: home fries, macaroni salad, french fries, or baked beans.

Top it off with optional: mustard and onions, ketchup or hot sauce.

The hot sauce is the be all and end all. Anyone can do fries, burgers and hot dogs.

So there actually is a CoochieCash. I guess I am somewhat out of the loop.
