We have some amazing restaurants in our city, and we love highlighting new culinary gems at DALtoday. But there have also been so many great, local restaurants that have closed over the years (Federdales, we miss you) — and sometimes, we get a little hankering for a meal from a place that no longer exists. Sigh.

This got us thinking about the local restaurants from yesteryear that make our readers feel that same nostalgia — the spots that would be your go-to choices for dining out if they were still around.

Personally, if we had a time machine, we’d head straight to 20 Feet Seafood for the fried cod and never look back.

OK, your turn. Which Dallas restaurant or meal would you give anything to eat one more time? Let us know and we may feature you in an upcoming newsletter.
