    Fazoli's is actually quite good for fast food Italian. It's a lot better than chain slow food Italian. I don't think I will ever eat at the Olive Garden near me again. Their noodles are always overcooked and that's pretty bad since Italian restaurants are known for pasta.

    Really?! Growing up, there were at least 3 Sonic's in my area. There's one near me now, but I'm not sure how well they are doing. They've been shutdown and reopened a lot due to bad management. Each new manager will get on our local Facebook page asking people to come check them out, because they're "under new management."

    There's a few Quizno's in Florida that are open. You might just have to go for a drive. I know there's on in Kingsland, GA, but looks like there's one in Jacksonville also. I'm going to have to get my husband to take me to the one in Jacksonville one day.

    My favorite sandwich shops are McAlister's (comeback gravy... mmmhh!!!) and Newk's (caesar salad with salmon, artichoke hearts, olives, and capers). Do you have any favorites?

    There are several Quiznos in Florida, but the ones anywhere near me (read less than hours away) are in a gas station, and I don't really like to eat at restaurants in gas stations (call me a snob, lol)

    I think there is a McAlister's near me, but I've never been there. I might have to try it out now.

    I am boring when it comes to sandwiches....I will eat Subway or Firehouse, and I loved Quiznos. I am not a fan of Jimmy John's, and I have never tried Jersey Mikes. That's all the sub shops I can think of that are near me.

    Yeah. The one in Kingsland is a gas station. I'm not sure about Jacksonville.

    Try McAlister's comeback gravy! It's the best!
    My husband likes their loaded spuds.
    I personally don't think you can go wrong with any of their soups or salads.

    While you're out in eastern NM and west Texas, eat at a Taco Villa. That is the one thing that I truly miss from living in that area, and I haven't had it in over 15 years.

    We call them "Cat Food Tacos". They're super yummy, especially after you've been drinking

    Gonna be some more things for people to miss soon:

    https://www.businessinsider.com/drin...-discontinuing

    Beverage giant Coca-Cola will stop selling about 200 brands soon, cutting its offerings in half. Tab, Zico, and Odwalla have been publicly axed, with more to come, the company said on an earnings call.

    Coke hasn't yet named all the brands it will drop, but CEO James Quincey said that there will likely be more cuts in the "hydration" category that encompasses Smart Water and Powerade. Back in July, Quincey said that half of Coca-Cola's portfolio generated only 2% of revenue. Going forward, the company will focus on the biggest brands, like Coke and Sprite.

    Here are all the brands that have been discontinued so far.


    Coca-Cola is retiring 70s icon Tab at the end of 2020, triggering nostalgia in some fans.

    In early October, Coke confirmed it would stop producing Zico coconut water in coming months.

    Back in July, Coke announced plans to drop struggling juice brand Odwalla, along with 300 jobs.

    The company confirmed that Coke Life, a version of Coke flavored with Stevia leaf extract that debuted in 2014, is on the chopping block.

    Diet Coke Feisty Cherry is another flavor getting cut.

    Regional Virginia brand Great Neck Northern Ale is another casualty

    Regional grape drink Delaware Punch was also eliminated.

    Sprite Lymonade is another flavor getting discontinued by Coke.

    Some brands under Coke's "hydration" category, which includes Dasani and Smart Water, are also likely to be removed going forward.

    It's an old drink I believe from prohibition days when instead of bars they had soda shops. It's just seltzer water with chocolate syrup sometimes you get it with ice cream, think root beer float. My grandma used to make them for me.

    Learn something new every day. I've never heard of it. I've had a root beer or coke float, but not this.

    I'm not a soda drinker, but the soda aisle of any US supermarket is one of the things that overwhelms me when I return from an extended stay in Europe. In Scotland, these are my soda choices: Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite (aka "lemonade"), Ginger Ale, and Fanta. Also, IronBru - a local delight that makes Mountain Dew look like a diet drink. That's it - six flavors. Soda takes up very little space on my grocer's shelves. In the US, there is an entire aisle devoted to soda and I can buy strawberry banana pineapple fizz and diet grape cherry lime delight.

    The thought of chocolate soda makes me gag.

    My favorite sandwich shops are McAlister's (comeback gravy... mmmhh!!!) and Newk's (caesar salad with salmon, artichoke hearts, olives, and capers). Do you have any favorites?
    I was pissed the last time I got Olive Garden. It was barely edible. Is garlic bread not Italian food? Why doesn't anyone sell it? I just avoid most fast food. Although I'm not going to lie, I love Domino's hand tossed mushroom and spinach pizza. I also love their stuffed cheese bread. I also like Pizza Huts personal pan pizza and their cheese sticks. They aren't discontinued. I should've posted this in the food thread.


    The only discontinued food I miss are those Graham cracker peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They were so good and I only got them from the summer food programs in Chicago. Those who grew up in Chicago have to remember Daley Days. It was a free day of fun put on by mayor Daley.

    I love Pizza Hut pan pizza-it's the best pizza! You should go to some local Italian place, I bet they would have great garlic bread! Just order that to go.
