Been a lot of discussion recently about what you can't get in Las Vegas.

For istance from old Rochester NY there are red hots and white hots. These were a local form of a hot dog or bratwurst with either a red or white skin. I always though they were awful but when we would have old Rochersterian parties in the west someone would always bring a box of red hots and white hots. And I would nostagically eat them smothered in onions.

Tell you what. If we get a good set I will put up a page to memorialize the missing things.

Each entry needs three things...A name, a descriiption and the place where it can be found.

I will start with a couple...

Red Hots and White Hots.
Strange porkish hot dogs with red or white casing.
Rochester NY and other upstate places

White Castle hamburgers.
Minimalist patties loaded with onions on a minimalist roll. You eat multiples.
Midwest Louisville KY

Chocolate A Cream
Concoction of seltzer, chocolate syrup and milk. No cream no egg
New York City and environs

You can't get WaWa, TastyKakes, good Kosher selection, or Rita's Water Ice...

When I forst moved away from the Detroit area I was sad to learn that no one knew what Paczi's were.

Paczi
Found in Detroit area

P.S. East coast/ midwest eggrolls are profoundly different than most eggrolls from the west

[billeethakid]

I'm hoping they put a Dunkin Doughnuts in sometime... Iced coffees are the snitz!

One thing the East Coast doesnt have is In and Out, which is one of the best fast food burgers imho

[lvkewlkid]

i'm so glad the east coast doesn't have it, i can't stand in-n-out, its so gross...the only thing missing from the East is Roberto's and Carl's Jr, even tho its known as Hardee's...
