Top 10 Awesome Nostalgic Foods We Want Back

Ya'all covered just about everything I'd want to discuss... except PB Maxx. I'd kill for one of those! Maybe with a tasty New York Seltzer to wash it down.

The Burger King mini burgers were called Burger Buddies. And they ruled. So did KFC Chicken Littles.

It's a miracle I'm not 500 pounds

The Tastiest Streets in the U.S.

Yeah, the praise for Fremont seemed to exist simply to praise Paseo. Don't get me wrong, Paseo deserves the love, but Fremont isn't even close to the tastiest street in Seattle. My vote would probably go to 1st Ave, or even Pike Pl.

Buford Hwy in Atlanta is probably the tastiest street I've ever visited personally.

There is but one host of Dinner: Impossible and that is Robert Irvine. The show is dead to me.

Bring back Robert Irvine PLEASE! I like Symon on the iron chef. I thought Symon was nothing special in this episode.

Chocolate covered bacon has got me salivating....

Did someone say this guy is "no Robert Irvine"? So, he's not a fraud?! YAY!

@jackiecat: you're right, The Food Network has a confusing website that made it appear as though the episode airing tonight was one with Michael Symon.

My TV schedule from Food Network shows a rerun of the old DI, not the new Symon one!

Oh boy am I ever happy with my decision to bring hot dogs (OK, OK, they're veggie dogs) to the tailgating event I'm going to tonight. After reading this I'm going to have to clean the drool from my keyboard.

And FWIW, Venezuelans have the greatest hot dogs in the world: mayo, ketchup, mustard, onion, cabbage, and crushed potato chips on a steamed potato roll. Pure win.

Japadog in Vancouver? That's hilarious! I just had a real Chicago Red Hot guy open a few blocks from me in Portland. He even discounts his dogs during Cubs games.

Frank's on Pima and Alvernon has Sonoran hot dogs. Pretty good, but I will try Hermano's suggested above.

Luke's on Ft. Lowell has best Chicago style dog in the Tucson area according to my Chicago born and raised spouse.

BTW, it's "Tucson" not "Tuscon" (And "Wilmot" not "Wilmont").

Best Wurst in Austin is pretty legit.

Am I the first person to mention another New York regional variation - the split dog, fried in butter, like they do at the iconic, venerable Walter's in Mamaroneck (Westchester County)? If memory serves, the bun is grilled in butter, too. Spicy mustard is the only appropriate topping. Careful crossing the Post Road with your precious cargo.
