First, let us remind you what Whataburger's Monterey Melt includes. At its core are still the same two juicy beef patties, but it's the toppings that make the burger memorable. Slices of American and Monterey Jack cheese add a tangy richness. Then, a blend of onions, red bell peppers, and poblano peppers layer in smoky sweetness and subtle heat. These ingredients are tied together by the chain's signature jalapeño ranch dressing for a delectably creamy twist.

Making the Arby's Beef and Cheddar sandwich at home is easier than it sounds: Most of the recipe happens in the oven, and once roasted, the beef is sliced and served with a quick and easy cheese sauce and a ketchup-based sauce that comes together while the beef cooks. The Red Ranch, which is less like a ranch and more like a salad dressing or barbecue sauce, adds a tangy flavor that complements the beef and ties together the rich elements of the stacked sandwich.

It's a known fact that Trader Joe's discontinues products fast. For those who enjoy Trader Joe's frozen scallion pancakes, be it the brand's Korean-inspired Scallion Pancakes (Pajeon) or the similar Taiwanese Green Onion Pancakes, you'll be pleased to know that you can replicate these delights using only four ingredients. All it takes are dumpling wrappers, scallions, oil, and salt for a picture-perfect dupe of these savory snacks.

Though oil and vinegar have been splashed onto greens for centuries, it wasn't until the 1900s that enterprising restaurant owners began packaging dressings to sell to customers. In 1925, Kraft Cheese began dabbling in mayonnaise and salad dressing sales, partnering with the Milani Company, a brand already cranking out a variety of salad dressings. One of the flavors is now classified as an old-school salad dressing we don't see often - in fact, at all.

While stores touting trendy clothing, knick-knacks of every imaginable variety, and video games are all very well, there is nothing quite like the epicenter of the mall: The humble food court. One mall food court chain we wish would come back got its start in the early 1920s and grew to become synonymous with mall culture in its heyday before sadly vanishing.
