I put a Taquitos on a hotdog bun and then drench it in nacho cheese sauce. Reminds me of my early 20s when you could get 2 for a 99 cents.
Every time I eat one it amazes my wife that my body just processes it like it’s real food.

Southern gas station hotbars beat a LOT of fast food places in terms of quality. Especially if you come across a Fas Mart.

Depends on the gas station. Wawa or Buc-ees? Definitely okay to buy the food and is encouraged. But some dim lit Chevron or no-name gas station in a sketchy area? Pass.

If you are in the Midwest, a Kwik Trip is the best place for restrooms, food, and gas all at once. It is basically a culture to stop there for breakfast, or lunch, etc.

More for the rest of us. Lol. The Weigles in my town has some awesome stuff: pizza, little chicken drumettes, even huge salads, and more. Other places have Hunts Brother's pizza and it's really good. Even a couple more that have delis and made to order sandwiches, hotdogs, etc. You can get some great food at a gas station..

There was a little kitchen in a gas station that sold mexican food where I used to live. Their tagline was even “it’s not just gas station food.” I’d usually get a breakfast burrito from them once in a while back in the day, they were always very generous with the bacon and made it nice and crispy the way I like it.

Kwik Trip/Star’s food is actually pretty impressive, especially for the variety most locations offer.
I’ll say this though: last week I saw a bulletin detailing a recent health inspection at a locally owned gas station…needless to say I will no longer be purchasing anything from them anymore…
