I used to think that, but then I started trying them out of necessity when driving alot for work. People who refuse to eat at gas stations are going to miss out. In Texas we have several great options, first is Buccee's, a local overrated chain of super stations for cars only, that have all kinds of decent selections and shopping, full meat counters, deli's, and sandwich items. Then there's the old throwback taqueria's which you'll find all over, they have standard barbacoa, chicharron, picadillo, and chicken style taco's, onions and cilantro only of course. Or there are several places that serve ok BBQ as well. And in Louisiana, you'll miss out on the best cracklin, pistolette's, meat pies, head cheese, and boudin in the state because they are traditionally sold at gas station/meat market's in small towns.
