The USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards for best gas station food is back, and once again there are 20 nominees.
“Gas stations, convenience stores and truck stops are more than just a place to grab a quick bite when you're on the go,” USA Today said. “They’re serving up delicious food and snacks that make them destinations in and of themselves, from fried chicken and pizza to organic salads and veggie burritos."
People can vote once per day until voting ends at noon Eastern Daylight Time on May 4. Ten winners will be announced May 13.
“A panel of seasoned road warriors has nominated their top gas station stops for food across the U.S., and we need your help to crown the best of the best,” USA Today said.
La Crosse, Wisconsin-based Kwik Trip was last year’s winner.
