I live where I grew up, so I don't have any local treats to miss.
As far as my college years in Raleigh go, I can honestly say that there wasn't a damn thing down there that I ate or drank that I'd want but can't get here, now that Cheerwine has surfaced. Grits? Feh - wallpaper paste. Bojangles? Not interested. Checkers? There's one in Wilmington if I want it bad enough, and there are better burgers around here. Char-grill? Every town has its own mom-and-pop burger stop. Barbecue? REAL barbecue isn't vinegar-based.
