gas station food. anyone else have a weakness for this

Do you know why they are poboy's?

This is as good an explanation as I have seen

A po' boy (also po-boy, po boy, or poor boy) is a traditional sandwich from Louisiana. It almost always consists of meat, usually roast beef, or fried seafood (shrimp, oysters, crawfish or fish). Served on baguette-like New Orleans French bread, known for its crisp crust and fluffy center. Po-boys come dressed with mayo, lettuce, tomato & pickle.

A submarine sandwich, also known as a sub, wedge, hoagie, hero, grinder, baguette, or one of many regional naming variations, is a sandwich that consists of a long roll of Italian or French bread, split widthwise either into two pieces or opened in a "V" on one side, and filled with a variety of meats, cheeses, vegetables, seasonings, and sauces.

That's the description of it. the reason why they are called poboys is because there was a labor strike in Louisiana and 2 brothers made a business of feeding the poor(they were shrimpers). They would take extra shrimp from their catch and would walk around and find the people looking for something to eat(strikers) and say " here comes a poor boy" and feed them.
That is a very simple explanation but that's the best I can do on phone.

Eat it in the parking lot

Do they make it in the parking lot too? Trying to wrap my head around how they construct a sandwich that long in a small kitchen.

More like a deli line in the back of the gas station similar to a butcher in a small town gas station.

Been there about 20yr ago

This is a Texas favorite, specifically West Texas. You can assault several toilets before this thing is finished with you.

Kwik star/trip has everything. Burgers, chicken sandwiches, grilled cheese, fried chicken, corn dogs, pizza, cheese balls. Its cheap and most tastes pretty decent. Oh, and McRibs ftw!

Was just on google maps and that shitty gas station with the awesome gyros apparently underwent renovations and now has Krispy krunchy.

Holy hell, I worked up I40 from there and got my road beer there frequently.

Talk about a shit hole side of town. Even the church's have guard dogs.

What were you doing in that part of the world.

36" not 36'

I have developed a fondness for the Alsup's beef and bean burrito.

It was only 2 miles off i-35 and was told their gyros were awesome so stopped quite frequently for that and beer. And I liked the mooslims who worked their. But yes, people from the apartments across the street would try to rob them frequently. Shit hole was an understatement.

 

[absoluteUnit]

This sounds AWFUL (as I have a bum stomach).......

Also im sure @absoluteUnit has some great suggestions.....if he ever leaves his moms basement.

They don’t let me in the local circle k after I shit all over the bathroom. Wasn’t my fault though because they were out of toilet paper

 

[absoluteUnit]

Find the shittiest gas station you can out in the middle of the country. Show up about 6:30 in the morning and you will find an old lady making breakfast sandwiches. Get a bacon egg and cheese, with salt and pepper and extra Mayo. Thank me later

 

[GarnetPild]

That is a great idea. Some of the best food you can get is a podunk gas station in SC.
Include boiled peanuts and ill help sponsor

Sho nuff...best BBQ in the state in this place, imo-

[PowerMEGA]

Underrated, IMO. My seven year old daughter agrees.

Just don't get one in Snyder on your way to Lubbock. It's about 80 miles before the next gas station and rattlesnakes in the bushes on the roadside.

Godfather's pizza (located multiple states) and Rudy's (BBQ located in round rock TX).

Krispy Krunchy Chicken is godam good.

Krispy Krunchy Chicken is godam good.

There are 2 gas stations that carry this and at BOTH it looks 5 days old BUT the damn Krispy Krunchy food shown on the sign looks amazing. Talk about a catch 22.

Used to be a great BBQ place called Done Right BBQ in Dunn, TX. It closed several years ago. Between Snyder and Colorado City. Used to stop every time I went out to Lubbock for a ball game.
