    I miss Showbiz pizza.

    It was by now means good, but I'll never forget the smell or taste.

      Anybody else a glutton for punishment regarding White Castle?

      Personally, I really do like them, but I don't love them.

      But I can't resist every once in a while.

        funny enough, there was a Woolworth's in Blue Island, that is now a antique shop for years,





        But, they do not have a lunch counter, I would like to see if you have the article handy. Thanks!

            In the early to mid 70's, I can remember being so jealous of my friend Lee's mom making him a Libbyland TV dinner every night when all I had to eat was a veritable feast of down home southern cooking.

            I also want to chime in on how KFC tastes absolutely nothing like it did in the 70's.

            Heck, it doesn't even taste like it did ten years ago.

            I recently ate a 2-piece meal with that terrible little chalky biscuit. First time I'd eaten any in at least a decade, maybe longer.

            The chicken was extra greasy with none of that secret recipe taste of 11 herbs and spices.

            If I was to make a list of all of the stuff I miss about the 70's, it would take a very very long time.

                  I liked jellied salads and aspics, just not the one you posted.

                  Kind of neat that Jello once marketed those, I wonder if the flavor was decent.

                      All the NE Ohio Whitecastle closed in 2014, I miss them a bit sometimes--which is how often I ate at one.

                        I miss Druther's Fish and Chips. It was essentially the same as Long John Silver's as I recall, but we had a Druther's in town, and had to drive to get to LJS. Plus they had those Andy Dandy Meals or whatever, the first kid meals I had access to before we got a McDonald's in 1984.

                          I've never heard of Druther's, what about Captain D's?

                            I like the country style fish at Captain D's, but my wife got food poisoning there once, so we never go. I can't really blame her!

                              All the fish chains disappeared around here, Long John Silvers and Capt D's.
