Yup. Dog n' Suds was the same sort of drive-in off of highways. Truckers used to refer to them as Arf n' Barf.

When I was a kid, Howard Johnsons had restaurants and would feature all you could eat fried clam strips. I polished them off like Homer Simpson.

Smoked Chubs. It's not that they aren't sold anymore, it's that the Great Lakes no longer supply them. We used to drive up to Port Washington to Smith Brothers and grab a large box of those gems.

Kids cereals that still contain tons of sugar, but have removed sugar from their name in order to not sound as unhealthy. Not that I eat them, but I thought it was disappointing and cowardly of them to change away from Super Sugar Crisp, Sugar Pops, Sugar Smacks, etc.

It was a tradition on our road trips to stop at HoJos and eat lunch. The kids meals had nicknames like Big Chief Beef for the hamburger meal. The clams were awesome - always perfectly sweet.

Friday's used to serve a very good basket of fried clams. The fries that came with them were great when dipped in their tartar sauce. When you were done, the cloth napkin that lined the basket was soaked with grease. This was in the late '70s.

I also miss Chef Boyardee Roller Coasters.
