Rochester Homes Guide

One food that Rochester is proud to call its own is the famous “white hot,” made by the local Zweigle’s company, which can be found at numerous area restaurants and hot dog stands. Another is the “garbage plate,” first served at Nick Tahou Hots.

The area takes the most pride in the Wegmans Grocery store chain, which now has locations throughout the Northeast and Northern Virginia. In 2005, they were rated the #1 best company in America to work for by Fortune Magazine.

Rochester is the home of the headquarters of Red Osier, a restaurant with locations at the airport, Frontier Field, Paetec Park, and many of the area’s festivals.

Other local franchises include: Bill Gray’s (a hamburger/hotdog joint that lays claim to having “The World’s Greatest Cheeseburger”), Tom Wahl’s, and Abbott’s Frozen Custard.
