Hometown Foods

I posted this a long time ago but we have a new crew so here goes:

I am going home for my high school reunion next year...(just work with me on that date) One of the things I love best about my hometown is the food.

My favorites? Mike Sell and Hussman potato chips, Kahn's hotdogs, Butternut bread and barqs cream soda which is red-i bring all of this home with me.

Restaurants? Frisch's with the hot fudge cake, a little restaurant called Hyde's and Millilo pizza cut in squares.

What are your favorite foods from home?

I remember Frisch's from growing up in Flor-da. Friday AYCE fish.

HEB is awesome. It's a privately held company and Mr Butts pays his people decent wages and offers benefits like insurance.

If you ever make it to St Pete, nothing beats Ted Peters for smoked fish.

@Crazywaterspring yes and the Big Boys too. i haven't been over to the other coast in awhile. it is cheaper for me to travel to Europe than in the US (other than Florida)

@akindheart I live thirty minutes from DFW. Airlines gouge us to subsidize cheaper airfares in other domestic markets. International flights are about the same as domestic. Two added bonuses: certain foreign airlines tend to treat coach passengers decently and international passengers are sophisticated enough to behave on aircraft. Korean and Emirates are my favorite airlines.
