Not Forgotten

I have a passion for food I admit. And over the years I've eaten some pretty good stuff. Unfortunately, a lot of it has disappeared due to restaurant closings, chefs leaving, menu changes, etc. So I wanted to write an ode to food I will never forget:

Broccoli Cheese & Noodle Soup - Filling Station, Pierre, SD (closed)
Lutefisk Supper, Lutheran Church, Kennebec, SD (chef change and probably not held anymore)
Stuffed Mushrooms - The Mother Load, Deadwood, SD (closed)
Cherry Pie - Hardees, everywhere (menu change)
Tex Mex Enchiladas - Last Chance Casino, Deadwood, SD (closed)
Tamales - (can't remember name of casino), Deadwood, SD (closed)
Spagagna - Chedders, Houston, TX (menu change)
Philly Cheesesteak sandwich with home fries - Sunrise Diner, Mt. Pocono, PA (closed)
Mac n Cheese Bites, TGIFridays, everywhere? (menu change)

Gone? I don't know:

Pizza Burger, restaurant off Rodeo Ave. on the water, Chamberlain, SD (probably closed)
Cheeseburger with tater tots, A&W Restaurant off new I-90, Chamberlain, SD (probably closed)
Strawberry Pie, Ramkota Inn, Pierre, SD (probably closed)
Grasshopper Maki and Beef Tataki, Nori's, Houston, TX (closed or moved?)
Carne Asada, I do not remember the name but it was on Dairy Ashford, Houston, TX in the corner of a strip mall a few blocks North of Westheimer (closed or moved?)

I'm going to keep adding to this list whenever something great to eat disappears.
