I was in a rush to work yesterday and picked up a bootleg Sausage McMuffin at the Circle K and really it wasn't that bad. It wasn't a fresh McMuffin but it had the round egg and was pretty tasty. They also offered biscuit and croissant sandwiches. I went for the English Muffin version figuring the structural quality would hold up more there than in a biscuit or croissant. Mine looked most like the bottom right version, a little lopsided from sitting vertically in the warmer, but a good melt on the cheese and no bubbling/burning. I took the risk to grab the one from the back since it would have been the last one placed there.  Now to lunchtime, we've got our options between the hot dogs, sausages and Tornados.  Been a while since I had one of these fellas. Of course you've got your regular hot dog, but some places will have brats, or some weird cheese filled sausages, corn dogs who knows what else. Usually there's a condiment bar with ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, etc. But, a challenger emerges! Tornados!  You can get a bacon egg and cheese breakfast Tornado, a pepperoni pizza Tornado, a nacho cheese and chicken Tornado, and many other types of Tornados, ranging from EF-1 to EF-5. GAS STATIONS: WE HAVE THE MEATS.

I get the sausage egg cheese biscuit when I'm really hungry on the way to work. Well I did in the before times. Unfortunately the hot dog buns at same place are always extremely stale, so I stick with getting a bunch of egg rolls off the rollers. Or the endlessly rotating pizza, which I find surprisingly good.

The closest Circle K renovated recently to start having more hot foot items, but some things I'm not sure they should bother on. Anything with a bun is usually hard as a rock after 30 minutes even in a warmer, unless it's in a foil bag. But I appreciate the effort.

QuikTrip, the beautiful golden god of convenience stores based on Tulsa, used to have decent breakfast options--the best of which was a jalapeno cheddar sausage roll. I haven't been in a QT see the beginning of the pandemic, though, so I'm unsure of the status of the beloved sausage roll. I have been inside a Mobil On the Run recently and can confirm that their breakfast sandwiches are, at best, trash, even by gas station standards. I will report back on the QT flatbread soon. I am curious enough to risk food poisoning.

I love going to the DMV specifically because right outside their parking lot is a Circle K that has a sub sandwich kitchen area. Pretty much a whole Subway stuffed into a corner of the big gas station. Some of their stuff is better than Subway (not a high vault to jump over) The whole store is always very clean. I did watch two drug deals in the parking lot while eating a sub at a table once though. It's a real hub of commerce, I tell you hwat

My parents never let me eat gas station hot food when I was a kid and now I'm almost 30 and still have never had it. I will be monitoring this thread for recommendations.

huh. we had different childhoods. I think I ate something from the gas station almost every day. my mother would send me over to pick up cigarettes (when I was like 12 or something, lol) and give me a couple dollars to eat. my favorite was two hotdogs, a chocolate milk, and maybe some combos if there was enough left. I'd put everything from the condiment bar on them, which was: ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, onion, taco sauce. sometimes chili and cheese if the dispenser worked (it usually did not.) oh, and sometimes they had egg rolls on the roller grill. special days.

An old buddy of mine back home had a nice garage to wrench on some cars, but it was about 20 minutes away from any drive thrus, but about five minutes from a Speedway. We frankensteined a Miata together out of three wrecked donor cars one summer and had a LOT of Speedway hot dogs. They weren't good, but they sure were food. I'm sure that toilet has some stories.

Quiktrip egg rolls are pretty decent. I'm not a SUPER big fan of their other hot sandwiches. I do love their ham and potato soup though, which I've talked up in another thread. I will get that anytime I'm looking for something. Hell I'll get that over 'regular' fast food or canned soup from the store. I love that poo poo with a little hot sauce.

Eh we've got a couple around here that do it properly (as in the same style/method) and it's garbo. The lovely mashed potatoes and gravy that you get a craving for every couple of years (don't lie) is pretty universal though

Big Beef City posted:Quiktrip egg rolls are pretty decent. We do not have the ham soup here but I wish we did. I do like the the "melts" (which they refuse to call quesadillas for some reason). The eggrolls though are really solid. I also like the weird buffalo chicken logs. I think you're supposed to use a bun but I just get napkins. The best thing is you know it's safe to eat in the middle of the night because I have come in there several times while they are stocking the grill at like 2:00 AM.

CannonFodder posted:If the roller station has tornados, it may also have buffalo chicken roller grill things. I used to do two buffalo chicken wieners in buns, with hot sauce packets and you steal a blue cheese dressing packet from the salad cooler The chili/cheese dispenser is best used on a hamborger, add chopped onions and pickled japapeno and you got a spicy borger You could also get a bag of Santitas tortilla chips ($2 only!) and then fill a small coffee cup with chili/cheese/onion/jalapeno and put a top on it. They charge you $2.89 and you got a full-on platter of lovely nachos with all the adornments I haven't been in a while, but Speedway near me used to have a breakfast pizza that was cheese/egg/sausage with sausage gravy instead of tomato sauce. It was pretty good. Speedway killed Hess though, and Hess used to have my favorite breakfast pizza ever. It was just bacon/egg/cheese, but they used so much bacon. It was finely diced, like bacon bits, but it was real fresh extremely greasy bacon. Each slice was coated in tiny bacon pieces and it was so greasy it would foul the paper plate before you even got to your car. The best hangover cure I've ever used personally, and when I make breakfast pizza at home to this day I try to emulate the loaded diced bacon Hess breakfast pizza.

I was mad about this until they did the same thing but for beer. All the previously $1 tallboys of keystone, milwaukee, natty, etc. are now $1.20! That's a 20% price hike!!!! What a lovely way to start 2021.

used to work with a russian dude who would, every day, go to the 7-11 on his morning break to pick up a 'cheeseburger hotdog'. imagine a really thick russian accent saying "cheeseburerger hawt dawg" and that's ilya. dude was fuckin' nuts, though not because of the cheeseburger hot dogs. i had one a couple times, it was okay. i'm really more of a chicken tenders kinda guy but i can gruffle down on a couple slices of 7-11 pepperoni pizza.

It's 'a thing'. Put the chili in the bag, mash it up, eat out of bag with spoon. I've personally not done it but I've read about it plenty of times. It's out there.
