I missed Memphis BBQ for years. But I've been able to order it online for a long time. And now that I'm in Houston, I can pretty much find anything from anywhere, so it's not much of any issue anymore.
Philly: miss the hoagies on a good sesame seed encrusted roll, miss the roast pork sandwiches, and miss the cheesesteaks.
Hoagies and cheesesteaks quite literally suck almost everywhere else in the country I've been. No one has even come close to replicating a Philly pork sandwich either.
I am from South Carolina and in 1994 I moved for a year out to Arizona. The thing I missed most was southern cooking .The first thing I ate when I got off the plane in Greenville SC was barbecue (pulled pork specifically). I had 2 large sandwiches with sauce and coleslaw on top of them with fries and ice tea to drink. Man it was heaven after being out west for a year.
I moved from Georgia to South Florida and was disappointed to see that virtually no one here knows how to make a proper biscuit. I took for granted that biscuits were made the same way everywhere, but like I said....no dice. They should be lightly browned (not dark brown on bottom!), evenly cooked (not "tilted" at one end), soft on the outside as well as the inside, and moist. It should not crumble into a mess when you take a bite. If you can "hollow out" the soft middle and leave a hard, outer shell---it's a hockey puck, not a biscuit. Toss it--heck, toss the whole tray, because they're an abomination.
