Gooey butter cake

Heart attack in a box, but so yummy. Best in the morning with coffee.

Ted Drewes Frozen Custard

Vanilla custard, made into concretes sundaes, whatever, Personal favorite Cardinal Sin, dark hot fudge, sour cherries in custard. Whoa!
Crown Candy Kitchen

Old fashioned soda fountain, makes own ice cream and candies, esp for Christmas and Easter. Milkshakes out of this world.
Barbecue pork steaks

Sliced pork butt, not heard of in parts of country. Steam meat first, then slow cook, basting with sauce at all times. Keeps it juicy.
Sauerbraten thursdays.

Back when the Lou (esp Southside) was mainly German, there were a multitude of German Rest. which served Sauerbraten on Thursday only, since it takes a long time to make. Miss it greatly, miss german restaurants.
Dad's cookies.

Been around for nearly a century. Sells by the pound, wrapped in brown paper with string. Only 4 kinds originally, Oatmeal was the best. Can buy online
