Food you miss/crave/wish was in your goddamn town

[Sethomas]

If you've never lived in one of the eleven or so states that have White Castle, then there are just certain things you'll never understand.

At around 2 AM this morning, I walked into one and chatted a bit with the only employee there. "You know," I told him, "I'm really not usually the type of person who would risk his life for White Castle. But tonight, I just kinda felt like it." I'm sure he probably gets that a lot.

[Dr. V]

So what's the deal with that place? I don't get the tiny hamburger concept.

Popeye's, southwestern burritos and philly cheesesteak hoagies.

The fact they can be less than fifty cents apiece sometimes, so you can just lay into a bag of six or so. They're delicious. The pickles and onions meld with the bread and make it a little mushy on the inside, but that only enhances the flavor.

Blue Pepsi. I haven't seen it in years but I remember it tasted so good.

[executioneer]

i wish there was still burgermasters around here

or shakeys, i guess :/

Another that comes to mind is chris & pitts, a southern california based bbq restaurant that i use to frequent when i lived in santa ana. pretty good stuff if your into bbq ribs.

From my understanding of the matter Hardees was bought by Carls Jr. and most of the stores that are still around today are either rebranded Carls Jr. stores or carry Carls Jr. menus. So basically Hardees is the west coast Carls Kr.

They both have the same logo, but maintain different names. I know, because my hometown still has a Hardees. You can still get a good roast beef sandwich there.

That's what I said. I used to like Hardees but I've grown to dislike fast food in recent years as they tend to make everyone giant fatties.


ps: MONSTA THICK BURGA!1

[WhiteRat]

JT McTweedy's Esquire!

ughhhhghhhhh

[Pentegarn]

Anything from Zantigo's (did I just show my age or what?)

I think they only exist in Nebraska now

[MarioRPG]

I want Dunkin Donuts too, I saw a commercial for one once, and I can't even remember the featured item, but I wanted it bad.

[KuddWeazel]

Sasparilla and a Sonic

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Pizza and bagels.

NY is the only place you should eat them, and DC is the last.

[Mullon]

Pizza Hut and Boston Market.

And I would like to know if those Sonic slushies are actually good.

[comhcinc]

they are.

[dirtyxblondexdame]

jersey city is pretty diverse with food -- we have White Castle, Checkers, all the usual fast food and chain places...............

..........but NO FUCKING SONIC!!! why do they insist on showing the commercials in my area is there isn't one around for 200 miles?!?!?! they are just taunting me with delicious foods now.

I like the orange ones. If they have one flaw though it is that they aren't easy to drink like a Slurpee is. I think the fault lies with the straw they give you somehow.

[Nick]

Anyone remember Little Caesars pizza? Yeah them.

[MattJack]

my Gran's dirty rice and her fried gar fish(sp?) patties

On a side note, I think gar fish are pretty cool creatures.




Dikipedia sez:

Gar bodies are elongated, heavily armored with ganoid scales, and fronted by similarly elongated jaws filled with long sharp teeth. Tails are heterocercal, and the dorsal fins are close to the tail. They have vascularised swim bladders that can function as lungs, and most gar surface periodically to take a gulp of air, doing so more frequently in stagnant or warm water when the concentration of oxygen in the water is low. As a result, they are extremely hardy and able to tolerate conditions that would kill most other fish.

[Spruce Moose]

Foods we miss? Oh yeah, I've got one of them.

WHERE HAVE YOU GONE MY VANILLA BEAN SNAPPLE GRAHHHHH!!!!????>>>><<<<""""::::::}}{{{{}}{}
