I learned this one ages ago and do this at least once every couple of months.

Refrigerate a gallon of water in a jug or container. Drop a large amount of ice cubes into your garbage disposer and while it's running wash the ice cubes down with the cold water in the jug. This will not only eliminte the smell of food stuck to the blades and surrounding area in the disposer, but the ice cubes will act as an abrasive to clean out the pipe leading out of the disposer.
