Do you remember the height of luxury?
Growing up in Chicago and the suburbs, we didn’t need Michelin stars or designer labels to feel like royalty. We had cheese cubes on a crystal platter, Ritz crackers, and the ultimate gourmet delicacy: aerosol spray cheese.
In this episode of New Roads, New Rules, Sandi and Terri take a hilarious trip down memory lane to revisit all the things we were convinced meant you’d finally made it. From the "fine dining" of Olive Garden and Red Lobster to the absolute status symbol of the 80s—the waterbed—we’re exposing the "fancy" truths of our childhood.
In this episode, we’re diving into:
- Midwest Gourmet: Why aerosol cheese on celery was basically a salad.
- The Status Symbols: Waterbeds, mirrored ceilings, and the mystery of the "good" towels.
- Fine Dining (Suburban Style): When a promotion meant a trip to Red Lobster for the "luxury" shrimp.
- The "Fake Fancy" Top 25: From plastic couch covers and sunken living rooms to the legendary Frango Mints.
- Chicago Exclusives: Marshall Field’s bags and the magic of the Walnut Room.
Whether you grew up dreaming of a car phone or just wanted to use the "guest" towels in the bathroom, this episode is a love letter to the simple things that made our childhoods feel special.
Listen now and tell us: What did YOU think was fancy growing up?
