The only reason I went to McDonald's before covid was because breakfast was available all day.

I will forever miss the old pepper and onion mix that CFA had before the breakfast revamp.
The chicken salad recipe was pretty basic, if I remember right though. They have it listed on their app, too, I think; The only important note is you have to use debreaded fried filets, not ones with breading on. Grilled will change the flavor a little because of the marinade.
Link to the CFA Recipes page (may open in app)
They've got the coleslaw in there too, but I didn't work prep when we had it and cannot vouch for the accuracy.
McDonald's Beef tallow fries. One of the great losses of my early life.
Calipo shots lemon ice
Dairy queen nerds blizzard. You can fake it with a sonic blast but it's not the same.
I generally mourn actual Hardee's. There were several things i miss from their menu pre-Carl's Jr.

McDonald's pizza. Technically like 1 location still makes it. It's mostly just a big nostalgia hit for me.
A Rax roast beef sandwich.
Wendy's pitas. When I worked there in the mid-90s, they had pitas that I quite liked.
Now I want fast food, but it's not worth the hour to get to McD's and back.
The made-to-order pizza they serve in Orlando isβ¦.. not great. Itβs a novelty.

Jalapeno rings at del taco.
Sliced jalapeno, breaded and fried. Served with a ranch-esqe sauce.
Simple and so fucking delicious.
Common in Texas, or sometimes sliced longways and called Texas toothpicks.
For a VERY brief time in 2010, Burger King sold bone-in short ribs.
Guys, those were literally the best fucking short ribs I have had in my life. High end BBQ places couldn't even come close. Every Burger King would sell out like instantly whenever they got a shipment in. And then after 2 months... Gone. Forever.
How can no one else miss Taco Bell's naked chicken chalupa? I loved that thing.
And the McRib is missed every time it leaves.
The original Frito Burrito!
Yessss!! And when they had taquitos with the different dipping sauces!

The Mac Jr (1 patty, no middle bun). I used to order it with a small fry. Iβm small, so it was the perfect size for me so I could finish everything and not be stuffed.
Rally-Q
$1.50 JBCs. Not worth the 3.50 they cost now. Used to be bigger and cheaper.
Also, the Arch Deluxe and personal pizzas from McDonald's.
I remember the time when Subway used to serve their sandwiches with the strip of bread on top. Those were the good old days.
You can still get it that way!
Just ask for it 'cut old style'.
unfortunately most people working at subway now are young, and have no idea what you're talking about.
you can't even order a subway melt anymore without explaining what it is.

I'm trying this.
The way Wendy's fries used to be. pre 2010
Burger King chicken nuggets from the 90s, before the recipe changed to crap. If I had to pick a flavor that I associate with my childhood, this would be it.
The Angus Mushroom & Swiss burger from McDonald's. The Angus was the closest thing they ever had to a real burger, but they were too expensive for most people and were eventually discontinued. Fun fact: wages have stagnated yet their basic burgers now cost more than the Angus did.

Whataburger's A1 sauce burger with bacon. They got bought out by another company and it vanished π₯
RIP A1 Thick and Hearty Burger, your 1100 calories per burger were too beautiful to live!
It was actually the steak bagel breakfast sandwich at McDonalds... until that garbage institution actually brought it back defector! It trned out to be a weaker approximatation with different/less seasoning on meat and different sauce, but close enough for nostalgia
McDonaldβs Angus Burger , only burger they sold for several years that didnβt taste like cardboard.
It was also the only time I can recall them having a swiss and mushroom burger on the menu. It was delicious.
