Virtually any potato chip (though especially Pennsylvania brands) with HeluvaGood French Onion dip.
Cereal varieties from my childhood.
Tater Tots and hash brown patties from the freezer bag.
Fried mozzarella sticks or white cheddar balls.
BLTs.
Chili dogs w/ crispy bacon and cheddar.
I'll add a quality Louisiana Boudin (usually from BestStopInScott) to, or stuff it in; meatloaf, crab cakes, bacon-wrapped pork loin with a pepper jelly glaze, and chicken breast. Also good to eat (after cooking) straight out of the casing as a street food.
Fried gator tail nuggets tossed in hot sauce.
I don't eat stuff like the above on a regular basis, but I had to stop typing because holy hell have I developed a taste for anything bad I can find lingering or make from ingredients in the fridge and/or pantry.
All of these are amazing. And my boyfriend is from Quaker country so I get the Pennsylvania foods too.
Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup with Premium crackers
Bloomin' Onion from Outback Steakhouse
Crunchy Cheez Doodles
The Laughing Cow cheeses
Entenmann's chocolate chip cookies
I went to a Denny's for the first time only last year. We don't have them near where I live, but I see them when I am traveling. I always thought it was just another fast-food burger place, but I went in one that was next door to the hotel I was in and ended up getting a dinner of some type. Its kind of like a chain diner, which maybe explains why they don't do well in NJ, the land of Greek-owned diners in every town.
Anyway, I've since eaten at Denny's four or five times now.
We have Denny's here on Long Island .. & also diners in every town lol (my town has 7). I wouldn't say it's better than a diner but it's decent. My dad loves it lol (he has heart problems and can't eat it anymore).
