Burger King in the 90’s and early 2000’s had delicious chicken nuggets/tenders. I still crave them.

Grilled stuffed burritos from taco bell.

Almost everything on the old Chelsea’s Restaurant menu.

The franchise killer chicken sandwich from Wing Fingers in Lafayette

Mahoney’s on Chines Street’s happy hour burger. It was like $6, medium rare, and absolutely amazing.

Pinetta’s red sauce, the best.

Great Wall and A Taste of China buffets

The rolls at Ryan’s

The sopapilla’s at Pancho’s

The grilled chicken sandwich McDonald’s had in the early 2010’s.

Popeyes onion rings

Barq’s Floatz

Hymel’s, Marchand’s, and Val’s

Strawberry Kiwi Sierra Mist with real sugar

A seafood paella in a Costa Rican small town that I don't know the name of. Was the best seafood I've ever had. We stayed in Heredia with a friends relative, and drove to a resort in Puntarenas, It was somewhere along the way.

My maw maw made a shrimp spaghetti dish, it was nothing like traditional spaghetti, I've found a "shrimp boat spaghetti" recipe online that I need to try, it has Bisquick in it, which is intriguing because that may match the texture.

No matter how full I was, no matter if I was eating at the moment, if maw maw called the house and told me she was making shrimp spaghetti my arse hopped on my bike and went.

It is the only dish from my youth I cannot replicate close enough to feel like home.

Yep, but if I drive to NOLA, don’t think I want a burger. Same with Laffy.

I wish I could get my hands on a box of Nabisco Doo-Dads. They were so good. A million times better than Chex Mix.


I wish Kraft would bring back the box Chicken Noodle Dinner. Knorr has something similar but the Kraft one was so good.

However, I just found out that if you live near Vinton, LA there's one coming soon!
Still 2.5 hours from me but better

I have so many family recipes that call for one roll of Kraft garlic cheese. Though I've tried to make it from scratch, it's never the same. Wish they'd bring this back.

Pure Process Ice Cream in downtown Tuscaloosa. We’d go to the library on River Road and mama would take us to get ice cream unless we were loud and obnoxious. And sometimes even if we were. I miss her.

My grandma's chili. Everything besides the meat, beats, and macaroni was garden to table. As my grandpa was working in the garden she'd be making/canning the tomato juice that she would put in the cellar for the next winter. I saw the whole process as a kid but never closely paid attention. My aunt was not the type to be doing any of it so it died with my grandma. My wife tries but it's just not the same.
