In Medley Florida near Miami, there is a great Cuban restaurant that’s in a Shell station called Mi Habana Cafe.

If you’re ever in Decatur, Georgia, hit up the K BBQ Taco for the best Korean burritos and tacos. It’s in a tiny hole-in-the-wall shop in the town center with seating in the hallway next to the elevators. It’s fantastic!

Two of my favorite taco places in MD are in gas stations, and I remember a place in the Philly suburbs that did Indian food in a gas station. No frills means ability to focus on the food.

Now I am going to have to try it since it’s right near me. I figured it would be someplace hipper.

To be fair they have malt vinegar as well which always gets liberally applied to my deep fried fishy things.
And oh they are soooooooo goood.

the only acceptable thing to put on your fish supper…

I’ve seen the ‘sauce’ labelled as ‘curry sauce’ before. It’s usually orange. That might be more of an English thing though.
Oh, and I assume you allow salt with the vinegar? Only way imo.
Mind you, a pickled onion as a side…

damnit, I’m hungry now :frowning:

Goes without saying. The only people who don’t put salt on their chips are:

  • those with high blood pressure or another health problem aggravated by the stuff
  • small children who get more than enough salt through their five-bags-a-day crisps habit*
  • freaks.

* More aspirational than actual, at least as long as I can keep the little sods in my sight.

What could you possibly not find appetising about this?

mmmm, orange.

See Americans, if you subjugate an entire sub-continent for two hundred years, this is the sort of delicacy you get!

Maybe they need to employ some dabbawalas.

You got real vinegar on your fish and chip?

That’s what the label says anyway.

It seems to be a mixture of this and spirit vinegar

The best hamburgers come from gas stations too.

That’s what they say, but there’s got to be more to it than that, or the stuff across the river wouldn’t taste so … lacking.

I suspect some Hilary Briss-style shenanigans.

That’s what I’ve heard! I’ve yet to make the trek* up there, though.

I’ve mentioned it before but the best hamburgers I’ve ever had (fried/griddled, not grilled) were from gas stations.

If you don’t mean Tartar sauce, then your statement is invalid.

I hate peas. These peas are amazing.

As for the beer, Seattle has a thing about their local beers. I can throw a rock and hit a dozen breweries.

i know exactly where that is, and let me tell you that intersection is FUCKED. i guess the whole gas station aspect means at the right time you could always just park at a pump, order, then splash and dash and pick up the food though

english and most other european languages are from PIE, which was basically sanskrit
