Foods made famous by TV shows

melidasaur · 07-28-2005, 10:32 PM

I watch way too much TV...

And now I'm getting to a point that I want to try things that they talk about on TV. I'm a huge King of the Hill fan and one of Peggy Hill's specialties is Frito Pie with Wolf brand Chili. I've never made Frito Pie, never heard of Wolf Brand Chili - but it is real and want to give it a try.

Has anyone else done something like this or am I just nuts?

I love Frito Pies. I first heard of them when I lived in Houston. Our Junior High served them up in the cafeteria. Good stuff, good times....

My meal made famous by T.V. was Krispy Kremes. That John Travolta movie about (or not about) Clinton talked about them all through the film. I had never heard of them and then, a few years later, wham! They suddenly started popping up all over Phx.

I ate Frito Pie out of the school cafeteria every single day for more than a year.

If you don't want to make it yourself, Sonic also serves Frito Pies. They're great!

Marge Simpson makes Jellybean cookies... but I don't think I'll try those any time soon.

I wonder what happens to jelly beans in the oven. I'd expect they'd melt and caramelize.

Ah, Frito Pie...a big perk of growing up in the western states.

Here's an interesting version:

Lately, watching reruns of "Dead Like Me" on On Demand has made me crave Pecan Waffles with Extra Crispy Bacon. I've never had pecan waffles, but I bet they're pretty damn good!

*fainting dead away* Never had pecan waffles?! What? How can this BE? Pecan waffles are simply orgasmic--nice and hot, with tons of pecans and warm butter and syrup...OMG! Once again, credit WaffleHouse with the best ones. Another goodie is blueberry and pecan French Toast! Divine!

You need to watch out in Waffle House...sometimes, those little brown things in the waffles have legs, and are not pecans.

Years ago, when driving a truck. I stopped in a place in El Paso and ordered pecan pie.
The sob had peanuts on it. Hey I'm from the south and really know peanuts from pecans.

Pork Chops and Apple Shaush.

I have a fondness for eating Jiffy Pop Pop Corn while watching the movie Real Genius.

Does that count?

I also feel a certain lack in my life for not having a cool, trendy coffee shop with sofas instead of tables that I can hang out in, drink overpriced, foul-tasing coffee, and meet seemingly interesting, but actually shallow, friends.

I had to read this twice. Somewhere people have never had Wolf brand chili or frito pies???? But then, the closest I've come to having a Philly steak is a Hot Pocket! Sad, huh? Maybe someone'll send me a real one......

I would but they don't travel well.

I've sent these to displaced homies and they swear it's close enough.
