Loved the fried clams at HoJos. They had really good ice cream too.

Other things I miss (apologies in advance I'm old!):

Luxury used to make a boxed fettucine dinner 1960's-1980's I want to say - it was very thin fettucine noodles and the sauce was so good. My mother who was a great cook and would make fettucine from scratch would keep this on hand when she didn't feel like doing all the work.

Kraft used to make a boxed Chicken Noodle dinner - it came in a brown box. Creamy sauce and fettucine noodles.

Anyone remember Danny's Fried Chicken? Oh Lord - they made the best onion rings - really more like onion strings - thin and spicy, perfectly seasoned - they were amazing. Didn't care if I got the chicken, but always had to have these. Could eat several orders.

The Kraft Garlic Cheese roll mentioned above - yes definitely on that. Perfect for cheese grits and broccoli casserole. But it was actually the Kraft Jalapeno Cheese roll that was needed for Spinach Madeline. Sadly they don't make either anymore.

Dapple - this was a carbonated apple flavored soft drink - 1970's. Sounds weird, tasted great.

Danish Go Rounds - a Pop Tart competitor but may have also been made by Kellogg's. I thought they were better than Pop Tarts.

There are still a few Danny's Fried Chickens around Louisiana, just not Baton Rouge. Several friends worked there during high school at the Drusilla location which was prior to that Bonaparte's Fried Chicken.

And I miss Shakey's Pizza on Airline along with Pitt Grill, Tiffin Inn and the old original A-Frame International House of Pancakes.

The burger at Circle Bowl was very good and the drinks in that old smoky bar where very good to an underage kid.
