Brandi Segura suggested Rocco's NY Italian Deli, 1181 S. Buffalo Drive. Daniel Barnes recommended Praml International, 4525 W. Hacienda Ave. Robert Cirelli suggested Siena Deli, 2250 E. Tropicana Blvd. (and for the semolina Italian bread Callahan was seeking as well) and Roma Deli & Bakery, 5755 Spring Mountain Road. And Andrea Drasner suggested Trader Joe's and Sam's Club. ...

For Heidi Janesin, who's looking for New York-style bagel chips, Cheryl Hauntz e-mailed that they can be found at Sam's Club at 7175 Spring Mountain Road, and Drasner recommended those at the Bagel Cafe, 301 N. Buffalo Drive, which are made from leftover bagels. ...

For Bobby Prokuski, who's looking for a local source for Supreme Tamales, Steve and Barbara Pattee and Marv Unell both suggested Chicago Hot Dogs, 1078 N. Rancho Drive.
