What Discontinued Snack/Food Item Needs To Come Back?

[elfenix 34221]

night hawk steak n' au gratin is still on the website but houston HEB doesn't seem to carry it, so it might as well be rip.

 

OG bob's were amazing.  or maybe most stuff i liked when i was a kid was amazing and i just have fuzzy memories.

Yep.  Sold at a local Austin steakhouse apparently...

Glad to see that Crunch Tators made the first page. 

A little outside the parameters of the discussion, but I would kill any one of you for a tray of the O.G. Chicken Littles.

I'm getting conflicting info as to if this is the original recipe or not, but I'm seeing that Taco Bueno brought back its taco burger.  I only recall it having taco meat and cheese.  I used to eat at least 5 of these in a sitting.

You need to hit Taco Delite in Wylie.

Will do.  I'll be pretty close tomorrow.  My son has karate in Murphy.

The OG ones in the 80s, not the new iteration.

those were damn good chips

Haven”t seen these in years, I assume they have been discontinued, or do I just need to cast a wider net?

Can still find these in India, but as far as the rest of the world is concerned, it's no more. Real shame as they are wonderful.

These kind of got trashed for their poor metrics on nutrition (ultra-high everything bad for you). Which probably tells you everything you need to know about how delicious they were.

Haven't had it, but Taco Casa has a Chili Burger. 

Quote

A fresh steamed bun with a touch of our mild red sauce, a scoop of 100% ground beef and topped with fresh shredded lettuce.

I dig Casa, so bet it's decent. I'm sure you can add cheese.

Casa is the best family fast food eats for $10 there is this side of Little Caesars\Pizza Patron. Two giant ass bean burritos are $3 and they'll fill you up.

I usually get the Super Burrito & a regular taco, plus a side of their green sauce (free). Gonna be dinner later.

Hold up...I didn't know this was a thing. Well shit, I've been missing out.

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Yeah, they give you a fair amount in one of those little plastic tubs.

As your attorney, I advise you to get the chiliburger. It’s a hamburger with chili on it.

Taco Casa is a weird for this city dweller.  I remember playing a game at Saginaw Boswell my freshman year, and it was so far away from home that we stopped to eat before the buses headed home.  We stopped at Taco Casa, it was probably the original location.  It was good for fast food Mexican.  Our coach told us we had $x each to spend, and we all ordered as many tacos as we could for that amount.  I think it was 13 each.  I thought they were good.  I never saw a Taco Casa again until about 5 years ago, when one popped up at a Chevron station at Coit and 190 in Dallas.  I recognized the logo and name, and have been a somewhat loyal customer ever since.  It kicks the shit out of Bell, Bueno, and  Cabana.  I got curious about it and went to their website, and it is a massive franchise that focuses on smaller towns, mostly west of DFW, and is slowly expanding into the larger cities in TX.  Highly recommend as a fast food alternative to the traditional fast food places.

Yeah, I first saw it two decades ago in Weatherford. Shit slammed tonight as usual. 

[elfenix 34221]

Only taco casa around here is far too out into the wrong burb (cypress), unfortunately. Went once and it was good enough that it'd be in the fast food rotation if it weren't 30 minutes the wrong way.

[Knoxtnhorn 5971]

Guess I need to try Taco Casa again.  The one time I ate there, the nachos looked and tasted like an amorphous mess.

[wood 11225]

Dunno if they still make these, but if they do, I sure AF can't find 'em. Better than current Ding Dongs. They're like Ding Dongs were when I was a kid 40 years ago. Addictive as hell.

Ah, but can you still get home from school, eat a NH steak and taters as a warm up, then go with the family when they get home to......The Nighthawk and blow up some Chicken Fried Steak!

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

My store hasn’t had the Nighthawk Steak ‘N Mac last couple times I’ve thought to check, that was the jam.

Mihn Breakfast Egg Rolls

Manske Rolls used to be in HEB frozen section.  Not as good as fresh, but definitely still a treat.

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Stumbled on this Twitter thread where ol’ boy is reminiscing. These ice pops made me laugh, haven’t thought of them in a LONG damn time. 

Disregard the Bigfoot, don’t care about it. He also mentions the Wendy’s SuperBar in another post.
