Sometimes the best food is in a place you least expect it – perhaps one you pass by every week or on long trips. We’re talking about gas stations, but not for their bags of pork rinds or sugary drinks.
Believe it or not, the food found in gas stations informs travelers about the cultural influences of that place. It might include chains known for their food, like WaWa in the northeast, or independent gas stations that the franchisees decide to offer food counters in.
For example, in South Flo...
