I don't miss Steak and Ale so much, but I sure do miss their competitor Cork & Cleaver. Their sauteed button mushrooms were to die for.

In Columbus, I really miss the Kahiki. A huge, kitschy Polynesian-themed restaurant with an indoor rain forest and mixed drinks like you wouldn't believe (my parents let me have a few sips of theirs ...). They still sell frozen foods with the Kahiki label including egg rolls and sweet-and-sour chicken. Don't buy them.
