25 FORGOTTEN Howard Johnson's Meals Everyone Grabbed Before the Blue Light Faded
Fried clams, twenty-eight flavors of ice cream, and grilled Frankforts on a buttered split-top roll — these are 25 forgotten Howard Johnson's menu items Americans loved in the 1950s, real American food history from the good old days, back when that orange roof was visible from a mile down the highway and meant a traveling family was about to be fed properly. This is genuine American nostalgia, the golden age of roadside dining, when one man's obsession with consistency built the first great restaurant chain in America and fed more meals outside the home than any organization except the United States Army.
In this video you'll rediscover these forgotten Howard Johnson's menu items: Orange Toasties, 28 Flavors of Ice Cream, Corn Toasties, Hawaiian Baked Ham, Shirley Temple, Roy Rogers, Tender Sweet Fried Clams, Open Tenderloin Steak Sandwich, Cube Steak, Blueberry Toasties, Grilled Frankforts, Chicken Pot Pie, Baked Macaroni and Cheese, New England Clam Chowder, Charcoal-Broiled Steaks, Fried Chicken, Chicken Croquettes, Breaded Veal Cutlets, Baked Beans in the Bean Pot, Fried Haddock, Coleslaw, Beef Stroganoff, Frappes, Root Beer Float, Coffee Fudge Sundae, Maple Marshmallow Sundae, Indian Pudding, and the hand-dipped chocolates that greeted every family on the way out the door.
If you remember pulling off the highway under that orange roof, drop a comment and tell us the town, what you ordered, and whether you can still name your favorite of the twenty-eight flavors. This channel is dedicated to American food history, forgotten recipes, and the nostalgia of the good old days. Subscribe so you never miss a trip back to the food that made America.
