Like fashion, cuisine or foods can trend. Demographics of the neighborhood effect what's available too. For whatever reason is there a dish or cuisine that you enjoyed at one time but you just can't find any more?

I can't walk into an Italian restaurant and get a pepper and eggs sub?!! I know it was created in the Midwest by Italian-American Catholics but this is Miami and the majority of Italian restaurants these days are Italian-Argentinian. It's pure speculation as to why I haven't been able to find one in literally years but it seems reasonable.
Sure I can make it myself but I prefer someone else do it! LOL

What do you miss?

Jack in the Box tacos!  I love those things but moved from St Louis back to NY.  We don't have Jack in the Box here!

Rye rolls (in fact, ANY kind of hard rolls)

@EatWell    If you ever get to Savannah, The Olde Pink House has the best shrimp and grits and you can get a side  of collards. The shrimp are caught off the coast of Tybee. No farm raised shrimp. I'm in North Georgia now. A number of restaurants serve shrimp and grits all pretty good but none like the Savannah shrimp and grits.

@EatWell What is S.O.S. ?

[BeccaLou]

@EatWell I figured it out. How do you make yours ?

I grew up North West of Chicago, I now live in Florida.  I miss Italian Beef sandwhiches, I also miss GOOD Pizza and GOOD Chinese food.

I make a roux with butter and flour, add milk, once it thickens up, add the dried beef (I tear the beef into pieces).

I also use the same method with cooked ground beef instead of the dried beef.

The country fried steak and sides are available at Cracker Barrel.
