    Chicago to Phoenx... Portillo's Hot Dogs, White Castle, Gino's East, just to name a few....


    Oh, also Panera... I miss it, and Paradise Bakery although owned by the same company is nowhere near the same.
    Chicago does have the best food!

    I am from the U.S. Midwest, and I am living in the South now. I don't miss much from Ohio except maybe Tony Packo's, but if I move out of the South in a few years (a distinct possibility,) I will be forever sad to not have Duke's mayonnaise. That stuff is amazing.

    Tony Paco's is amazing. I've been there and it is about a 3 hour drive for us!

    I have lived in several places. I live in the midwest now. But when I lived on the East Coast my diet was mostly fresh seafood. You just can't get decent crab or shrimp in the mid-west. I does not exist.

    Agreed. The only time I will eat it is when I am vacationing near an ocean. I wouldn't dare eat seafood here in Indiana.

    I lived in Algeria when I was younger, I miss fresh dates, fresh oranges, fresh clementine, basically anything I could pick on a tree around there when it was ready to eat. The taste of it in Canada, when imported is so so different, it's less tasty..even orange juice is not as good. I also miss the lamb from there, it tasted better too.

    When you move a state, a country or a continent away the food changes, not just the healthy stuff.

    Some of it you can learn to make, some of it you find the equivalent and some you just can't figure out. Maybe someone here can help figure out how to make it.

    I'm from the UK and missed Scotch Eggs, store bought Pork Pies, English Bread (yes it tastes different), English Heinz baked beans and Bacon.

    Scotch eggs and Bread I can now make,

    The pork pies are a mystery to me, how do you make that dark pastry!!!!

    English Bacon I have to get when I get off the plane at Heathrow.

    What can you not get where you are?

    (I brought back Baked Beans last time I visited, the customs guy X-Ray'd my bag and said "Ah, Crisps and Baked Beans". I asked how he could tell from an X-Ray what was in the cans, he said after Crisps, Baked Beans are one of the most popular things Brits bring back to the US lol)

    I live in the UK and hate all the foods you miss!! Lol

    I'd gladly organise a constant supply if you can organise one to me for dim sims from Australia!! Ooooooo I miss them and in exactly 2 weeks I'll be on my way back to Aust for a holiday and will be indulging rather often in them! I miss Australia's top deck chocolate too. :(

    I'd take you up on it but you can't import meat, I know, I've tried :(

    I grew up in New York state (not City!) where there were some fantastic Greek diners and you could find mouth-watering Italian on pretty much every corner.

    I can make excellent Italian, but I miss being able to eat it in a restaurant where someone else does the cooking. I haven't found a good Italian place in Tallahassee yet. Not even a passable one. We have some so-so Greek, but no truly good Greek.

    Ipswich is home base when we go back. Have you tried the hotdog cart in town. We can't miss that when we are back

    I've never moved from Cincinnati, OH but if I did - I'd totally miss my Skyline Chili, Graeter's Ice Cream and LaRosa's Pizza.

    ^^^^^ THIS!!! I moved from Ohio to Alabama, and I miss Skyline, Graeters, and Donatos. As a matter of fact, I eat these every time I go home!!

    I didn't even think about Donato's -- Love their pizza too. Thank goodness you can at least get the Graeters and Skyline shipped.

    I moved from Florida to British Columbia. I miss fried yellow squash. I could make it if I could find it. :-(

    I miss being able to buy any Keebler cookies, particularly Grasshoppers. I also miss Moon Pies. Canadian Girl Guide cookies and American Girl Scout cookies are not the same thing.
