Yeah I liked the Ham N Cheese sandwich too. Hardee’s changed most of their menu, now it’s all huge heavy $5.00 burgers.
Red Robin does a lot of ingredient tweaking in their classics. Case in point:
The Whisky River BBQ Burger. It used to be heavenly covered in oily slimy pan-fried onions that would ooze out the back and drip down your sleeves, it was brilliant. They’ve now changed to crispy onions, and the world mourns.
Two from my spouse:
-
The McRib sandwich, which you can still find occasionally but not nearly often enough (I like them, but he really likes them)
-
Ben and Jerry’s “Bovinity Divinity” ice cream.
And one from me:
- For a brief period, Cinnabon used to make these absolutely wonderful little chocolate brownie bite things. They were bite-sized, six to a pack, warm, frosted on top with some kind of hot chocolate goo inside. They were…oh, man. I could have eaten about forty of them in a sitting (which would have been a really bad idea since I suspect each one had about nine thousand calories). I only ever had them once and was instantly addicted. Next time I went back (about a week later), I didn’t see them on the menu. I asked and was told they were discontinued. Aaugh! Please, Cinnabon, bring them back!

@!#!@&**^%!
When did that happen???
I didn’t mind when they closed most of the Hardees in my area, as long as I knew they were out there somewhere, with their Hot Ham N Cheese.

I wanted a “real” meal and not a sandwich on Saturday when I went, and decided to try their pot roast. No one can make slow-cooked beef taste bad right? But Houlihans feels the need to give you a meal of meat, potato, and vegetable all piled on top of each other. Potato on bottom, meat and evil mushrooms over that, then carrots and something mysterious on that, then onion straws? Don’t serve a old-school meal like that. It tasted like mushy gross meatpotatocarrotonion gunk. If you want to eat it that way you could rearrange your plate, but I can’t unarrange it damnit. It was just a wet mess.
Taco Bell (again)…They used to offer, around here , at least, Bacon Tacos. They were just like regular soft tacos (or soft taco supremes), but with bacon instead of beef. The got me hooked within a couple of months and then took them off the menu.
Pizza Hut Paisano pizzas. The meetball one was like a little slice of heaven in my mouth.
Marie Callendar’s Chicken Callendarini. I only tried it twice. As soon as I realized I liked it, they took it off the menu. Bastards!
There was a sandwich shop in Albuquerque, Bugsy’s Subs, that had an awsome Reuben. The owner was a total dittohead, but the the sandwich was so good that even the rightwingnut crap he was spewing couldn’t spoil the meal. He retired/sold out a few years ago, and the cook (big Al was it?) at the other place with a great Reuben (Kelly’s brew pub) quit about then too. So Albuquerque went from an oasis with with two awsome Ruebens to just another dusty desert berg.
Another favored sandwich shop, T’n’T Deli, similarly sold out. The new owners still made a good sandwich, but instead of coleslaw, they started serving some sort of prepared cabbage product that comes in milk cartons…blech!
Here is my pet McDonalds peeve:
Since forever they have had on the menu:
-Egg McMuffin with sausage, egg, and cheese.
-Sausage Biscuit
-Sausage Biscuit with egg.
But if you want a Sausage Biscuit with egg AND cheese, it has always been a special order and takes forever. Nobody knows why.
Ruby Tuesday’s Low-Carb Cheesecake.
My Hardees hate has no bounds. They took away the roast beef and ham and cheese sandwich. Now they have big ass burgers that don’t really taste very good. And your fries suck as well.
Thanks for deleting some of your slightly healthy options Hardees.
Roy Rogers - remember Roy Rogers? It is no more, but when it was, I made a weekly stop to get the gold rush chicken sandwich; my favorite fast food sandwich of all time.
Popeye’s used to have a spicy chicken sandwich. this IS NOT like the one they currently sell. I used to work there while they were selling it.
Marinated in spicy goodness, served on a toasted bun. It was bliss, BLISS to eat I tell you. I understand why it was canned. It was $7.00 in 20002, and was made to order, so it took about 10 minutes to make. But it was so worth it. I can’t find a chicken sandwich anywhere that has near the taste, flavor, and just damn goodiness that this one had. The closest I can find it Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwich.
a slight hijack: I’ve found the best side order at any popeye’s I’ve ever been to, and it’s never been on the menu. Order the red rice and gravy together. You will have to explain to them that no, you do not want dirty rice. Three times. And still have to take it back when they give you dirty rice. But if you can get it it is just the best damn side.
end hijcak.
Yes! Or the Berry"bon". I love the bons, but I don’t like that much cinnamon.

Again- yes! You can special order them.
I noticed Wendy’s Big Bacon Classic had disappeared from the menu last time I was there but I ordered it anyway and got it. I think it’s like Taco Bell’s Cheesy Gordita Crunch now, which is only on the menu for about a week every year or two; you can still get it if you ask.
Roy Rogers restaurants are trying a come back. They’re just in the NE part of the US for now.
I had to find some type of proof that I didn’t make them up - there are others who remember Kentucky Fried Ribs.
Of course, their roast beef sandwiches taste like Arby’s sandwiches that have been left outside a couple hours in the humid Florida summer…
You can order the Del Taco ones off menu. Ask for a bun taco.
I’m no Pizza Hut fan, but about 10 (or more) years ago, they did a promotion for “Steak Lover’s Pizza” - 3 or 4 cheeses, sliced steak, onions, and steak sauce instead of traditional pizza sauce. God, that was good…

Chocolate Mousse Royale is alive and well in the B&R’s around here (eastern WA).
My food lament is the loss of the butterscotch dipped cones from Dairy Queen.
