It occurs to me that gas stations, especially bigger ones (QT, Race Trac) have the roller hot dogs, which tarnishes their appeal a bit.
I could definitely see myself going out of my way for fancier sausages. But wait…the gas stations also have breakfast sausages and bratwurst. They have a bunch of condiments, including french fried onions like you have on green bean casserole. Take a brat, add ketchup and those onions, some brown mustard, OMG.
I’m Wienerschnitzel’s target audience. It’s true that hot dogs aren’t as exciting as other sausages, but c’mon. Kolaches/pigs in a blanket have become a big thing, so they could offer breakfast as well.
Still, the gas stations sometimes carry a burger in the shape of a dog on the roller. And little tamales. That’s odd, something you would expect to get in a restaurant. But also hot dog sized chicken…things. Buffalo and Monterrey Jack varieties.
Random memory—remember this?
