The June 2025 magazine you are holding in your hand (or reading online) is our second food issue.
While our first foray into Mississippi’s cuisine last year was a deep dive into fried chicken, this year we went a little further. Fried chicken is just one of the many hot goodies to be found at a gas station.
Forget our friends up north. Down south, we love gas station food. I’m guessing most of us won’t make any apologies for that.
For years, gasoline hasn’t been the only fuel we need when we stop at a service station.
We reached out to our local electric cooperatives around the state and asked them to tell us about their favorite gas station food and where to find it in or near their territories.
We feature a few of those choices in our cover story and provide a list of the others they told us about to give you a handy statewide guide.
An issue like this is nice to have in your vehicle’s glove compartment for those times you find yourself somewhere in Mississippi other than your home base.
From ribeye angus steak and salads to peanut butter pie, these gas stations serve just about anything you might be craving.
Mississippi is many things.
Food is one of those many things the state is known for, so a magazine piece devoted to gas station cuisine made a lot of sense to us.
Hope you find your favorite gas station food after delving into the June issue.
Enjoy and bon appetit!
