Author	Topic: For 'Gourmet Gas Station Food' Stop at Dodge City BP	Post a Reply Back to Topics

PD Moderator	Message Posted: Oct 21, 2011 11:01:06 AM Ignore PD Report Abuse If I’m buying something edible at BP, Sunoco, or Circle K, I must confess that it’s usually Slim Jims originals. If my son is with me he might ask for some gum or maybe a Three Musketeers bar. But that’s usually the extent of it. The only exception might be when I head to the nearest BP which also has Dunkin Donuts. (Kids can be pretty persuasive when they want to be.) So it is especially intriguing to share with you what’s going on at ‘The Grille’ inside the Dodge City BP in Shallotte, NC. Customers say the food quality is unbelievable. And they’re not just talking about subs and burgers, hot dogs and pizza (they have all that). How about smoked shrimp bisque or she crab soup… shrimp and crab quesadillas...

My car ran so poorly on that tank of fuel, I suspected it was bio cow urine in nature!

tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:33,579 Points:2,372,235 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Oct 24, 2011 1:11:11 PM Ignore tomok Report Abuse I have never been to a gas station that serves 'Gourmet Gas Station Food.' I have only been to the typical gas stations with the prepackaged food, drink and that coffee dispenser. And, I will never taste the food at ‘The Grille’ inside the Dodge City BP in Shallotte, NC. It’s a left coast, right coast thing – too dang far apart.

Gasjunkie11 Rookie Author Sarasota Posts:1 Points:120 Joined:Oct 2011	Message Posted: Oct 22, 2011 6:02:29 AM Ignore Gasjunkie11 Report Abuse Why can't gourmet meals be served at a gas station? This isn't a new concept (maybe in the US), Italy has been doing this forever with the Autogrill. While traveling I would prefer to choose a bowl of seafood risotto than a hot dog that has been rotating under a heat lamp for 12 hours. Thanks for the info; maybe other chefs will become Gas Station Gourmets!
