I know what you're talking about, OP but I've got to say there is this place called Whoah Nellie Deli
>pic related
and it's a Mobil gas station out in the middle of nowhere somewhere between Yosemite and the town of Lee Vining which I guess USED to be out in the middle of nowhere but depending on road closures still is for half the year.. It's pretty much on the border of Nevada and California. You know, what used to be wild-west country. But god-dammit they serve up some of the best gourmet road-side food I've ever had at a gas station.
They had like fish tacos, ginger cole slaw, mango margaritas (weird for a gas station) and I think I had a ginger "beer" (non alcoholic but strong) with a pulled pork sandwich that was cooked with local berries (gooseberry?). Shit was cash.

There is a gas station near to where I live called The Outpost that has some really great breakfast / lunch / dinner menus. Mostly it's just a gas station but they do everything local for their so-called "deli". Bitchen breakfasts and after that, their lunches and dinner menus are mostly sandwich fare, either basic or with a daily flare. I know the bread is home-made and brought in daily in the morning. I know this because I've seen it while getting my 5:59 a.m. bottle of vodka and it smells DEVINE while it's still warm. But it's still just mostly a gas station that makes most of its money off tobacco sales.

THOSE, I gladly eat at.

Having said that, I still love a basic bean, cheese and meat frozen burrito with "green sauce" in a plastic bag and a soda in a plastic bottle of some kind that I can just stuff into my bag while I walk on. By the time I get to a place to sit down and eat it, half is warmed from the sun on my bag and half is ice crystals.

I've wondered about that while eating an egg salad sandwich while hung-over about halfway through it. Tasted great. I was worried I'd start barfing in the middle of the board meeting I was going to but no.
