    We have a local chain of gas stations with 'The Market" food counters in them, they make really excellent deli sandwiches.

    Real talk, the best fried chicken i ever had was at a run down gas station on I-20 somewhere between Newton and Jackson. Maybe ot was the 20 hours i had already spent in the car leading up to that, but it was absolutely incredible.

    Well you say that, but near the office park where I used to work there was a gas station that served as the outlet for a local sandwich place. All the sandwiches would get made fresh in the morning and be delivered just in time for lunch. They were awesome, there were lines around the block at lunchtime. They were known throughout the area. The sandwich shop also did deliveries for orders of 50 pieces and up, but the company I worked for only did that a few times a year. Haven’t worked there for over 15 years, but I still remember the taste of those sandwiches.

    They have these giant pretzels. And hotdogs that have been on the heater for a week. Fine dining if you’re in the area.

      I travel far out of my way to avoid passing through that foul city. Alabama’s a way nicer state than most realize. That does not apply to Birmingham.

      Birmingham’s motto: “Still better than West Memphis!”

        Is this Birmingham, Alabama or Birmingham, UK, though?

          Based on the endless gray clouds I’m going to say UK (and also that they call a gas station a “garage” despite no mechanics on duty).

            Believe it or not, Birmingham Alabama gets about twice as much rainfall a year than the original in the Midlands. Gulf coast states have the highest average precipitation in the US if you exclude Central and West Texas
