Back in the day, Country Roads ran a popular column by former Managing Editor Dale Irvin in which he would periodically hop in his car, drive any number of miles, and pull into the parking lot of a nondescript gas station he had heard served spectacular grub.
For this year’s upcoming Road Trips Issue in April, we’re hoping to bring back the spirit of “Gas Station Gourmet” for a round-up of Louisiana and Mississippi’s best pit stop cuisine. And we need your help! Send in your favorite roadside burgers, the best boudin stands in the land, stellar street tacos, and the unexpectedly highbrow dining experiences hiding behind the grunge of a Shell station. We want to visit them. Submit your recommendations to editorial@countryroadsmag.com by March 1 so that they can be considered for the issue.
