Real talk, the best fried chicken i ever had was at a run down gas station on I-20 somewhere between Newton and Jackson. Maybe ot was the 20 hours i had already spent in the car leading up to that, but it was absolutely incredible.
Well you say that, but near the office park where I used to work there was a gas station that served as the outlet for a local sandwich place. All the sandwiches would get made fresh in the morning and be delivered just in time for lunch. They were awesome, there were lines around the block at lunchtime. They were known throughout the area. The sandwich shop also did deliveries for orders of 50 pieces and up, but the company I worked for only did that a few times a year. Haven’t worked there for over 15 years, but I still remember the taste of those sandwiches.
We have a local chain of gas stations with 'The Market" food counters in them, they make really excellent deli sandwiches.
