Tonight, the Prodigal Doctor comes HOME! Luckily for him, it's just for a visit.

We drove along Empire Boulevard, looking for a Plate place that would let us record a live episode in the dining room. Eventually, Webster Hots said "come on in!"

• We ordered some very unique plates - shredded Philly cheesesteak plate and a house-made breaded chicken sandwich plate - and review them. Spoiler alert: BOY were they good.
• We memorialize: Holiday Inn Airport & Conf. Center, Golden Dynasty, Cottage Sanibel, MacGregor's Webster, Beale Street, Barry's Pub, Zebb's, Greece Sports Complex, and Mike's dad's old office.
• Mike reviews the 2 other plates he ate whilst at home - one at Bill Gray's and one at Abe's
• We drive by the Rochester Trifecta of businesses
• Mike gets "grease drunk"
• The average age of a Rochestarian
• What anti-improvements have been done to our city lately?
• What is "Plate Terroir"?
• A little Rochester TV Trivia

We hope you love this monumental episode!!! Tell your fellow inmates and escapees about the show!

TONIGHT on FLYOVER PLATES!

We discuss:

• A recap of Don Alhart's final news broadcast in all its classiness
• The nightmare of dating in Roch
• Emus wandering the suburbs of Cincinnati
• Church summer festivals
• Rochester Radio Stations and the 6 songs they play on repeat
• Who is Brother Wease?
• Steve T------'s Hats and Pataytas
• Dr. Mike's childhood stories of eating there
• (I just went to stevethots.com and apparently they have apple pie logs?)
• A Fish Fry Plate?
• 1983 Televisions

They're fallin' faster than we can memorialize them, so tonight we remember:

• D'Mangu and El Sabor de la Isla
• Bathtub Billy's
• Allen's Cobblestone Deli (We hardly knew ye)
• ROC Communications (Installed 80s car phones w. curly antennae)

As always, thanks for telling your fellow Rochestarians about the show! Tell normal people about it too so they can get a taste of the madness!

He's the tie that binds all Rochestarians together.

He's one of the few things that East-siders and West-siders agree on.

He's on Rochester's Mount Rushmore, alongside George Eastman, Walter The Accordion Man, and Brother Wease.

He's about to retire after a record-smashing career.

He's Don Alhart.

Tonight we give tribute to The Don, the greatest newscaster of all time.

We start out with some fun facts about him, such as:

• How they deduced how long his career was via carbon dating
• His interview with King Solomon
• His coverage of The Battle of Hastings
• His political party of choice
• and so much more.

We reminisce about his 1982 TV special with Wanda Miller as they inaugurate the then-prosperous Marketplace Mall, replete with egg contests and raffles that truly built a sense of community.

Tonight we ask the tough questions:

• Will people still watch Channel 13 without The Don?
• Who will take his place at the newsdesk of honor?
• Who are these other flunkies they just hired?
• If a Dunkin Donuts goes out of business, does it become another Dunkin Donuts?

And the tangents continue as we explore:

• What Mike did with a month's worth of leftover Rochester Hot Meat Sauce
• What is Portillo's and how Marc wants to sample their sandwiches
• The Schaeller's Plate
• (Editor's note: There was SO much hot meat sauce on it, I forgot to mention the curly fries!)

Finally, tonight we memorialize:

• Kodak Park
• Krispy Kreme
• Buckman's Donuts
• Panzari's

It's another festival of food and fun you won't want to miss! (Doesn't that sound like an 80s TV commercial?) Thanks for telling your fellow inmates and escapees (and restaurateurs) about the show!
