I'm in northern Illinois and never heard of Casey's? Then again, a Bucky's just opened near me and I had never heard of them before either. I think they have food there? I mean, I like the name as a reminder of the Winter Soldier, but.... The BP nearest me has fresh donuts delivered daily, though. I may have had a chocolate frosted donut there.

Bucees > Wawa > Sheetz Sorry to all the non-Texans, but these are the facts. Gimme a chopped brisket sandwich and some beaver nuggets, my day is made! There's a Buc-ee's 20 miles north and we've gone a few times...

No big chains but some of the best fried chicken I've ever eaten has come from gas stations. FFTC? There was a Citgo station in my tiny hometown that made fried chicken and breakfast sandwiches and the greasiest most heart attack worthy hoop cheese biscuits you can imagine. So good. It was one of only two places in town to get prepared or fresh food. I’ve totally gotten fried chicken at a gas station on the way to the beach in NC.

God damnit, now I want a Gobbler. This could mean so very many things and yet I can only think of dirty ones.

Wawa dark roast coffee is my favorite. Sheetz coffee tastes like burnt sadness. I'm team Wawa and SO excited to be living back in Wawa land again!

I always assumed they'd find some in there. Seems like the vetting is going as planned.

I grew up in NE and then moved to MD for college where it was Wawa vs RoFo and it's very serious. The only thing I could compare it to in NE is maybe Dunkin. Gas station love wasn't a thing in eastern NC either. Krispy Kreme? Maybe Bojangles. I would throw down for some Bojangles right now. PandaWatch we're still on for that lunch date.... whenever that might happen. Yes! Someday we’ll make it happen!

Upstate NYers, Byrne Dairy? Hello! H used to work by Byrne and really liked their food. They just got one in the town over from his new location and he’s excited. It’s been super busy from what I hear.

And H grew up with Stewarts. He always makes us stop for root beer and cream soda when we are near one.

I just saw this too. I'm not surprised. A majority of the NG people I know are republicans, and most are not moderate ones either. Some of the posts I've seen from NG members on FB have been concerning. I didn't feel that much better about them being stationed all around the capitol, TBH, but was keeping that thought to myself cause I didn't want to jinx anything.,

I cannot think of a single gas station that we have in Illinois that I would go to for food. I thought this was normal before moving to NM. People legitimately LOVE gas station burritos here, and they even have their own brand of hot sauce that national chains like Albertsons and Walmart carry.

I feel like New England just doesn't have this gas station love/loyalty. At least not southern NE. Or is there one I'm not thinking of? I think this is right. I grew up in Boston, and gas stations for anything other than gas weren’t a thing. We had a lot of convenience store chains instead - Cumberland Farms, Store 24, etc.

I would like to state that I am not knocking some gas stations. I think WaWa has good sandwiches

The thought of gas station food makes me queasy. It's not like, GAS STATION gas station food. Like it's not old, greasy hot dogs, hard donuts and vacuum sealed hard boiled eggs. It's more like a Subway or a Dunks that happens to be attached to a gas station, but way better.

I read that and assumed Sheetz was like a discount bedding supply store and was very confused about why this would be your top concern during the apocalypse I assumed sheet cakes for some reason? But maybe because people have mentioned cake from Sheetz as a thing?

We have some really good liquor store delis here, like just sandwich counters inside of liquor stores. No good gas station delis that I know of.
