Anyone who knows me well, will tell you that I have an unusually high affinity for gas station food. And before the judgment rains down, this generally is for interesting and better than average gas station. We are talking things like food truck quality stuff that is coming out of a gas station. We came across such a delicacy here!
We stopped in, on our way to Moses Lake, and then again on the way home, earlier this summer.
It was just to grab drinks and snacks, but while at the register, I noticed what appeared to be healthy strips of bacon. When I inquired, they informed me that this was their famous candy bacon. This is indeed what will make them famous!
The place in general is a good down home type gas station. Good selection of things to snack on and keep you awake. The bacon is where the magic happens.
These are closer to pork belly than anything else. Super thick Wilbur strips with a sweet glaze. I think you may get one of these when you enter the pearly gates! We had one on the way to Moses Lake and grabbed 5 on the way back home. It was easily the best candied bacon I've had and may be the best overall we've had!
They apparently go through dozens of pounds of this per week and it shows why! It was worth the price and a repeat visit like 6 hours later! read more
