I can't tell if you're joking. And I don't have 10 years of 3 second reading blocks before I fall asleep to find out.
Fictional Character and Buc-ees by a different name. But since he’s describing Houston and taking a short helicopter ride to a location along I-10, he is clearly describing Buc-ee’s. Also I-10 is twice as wide, in Houston. Something like 40 lanes.
Pimento Cheese is my new favorite item. Always grab the pork loin with mixed cheese and pretzels as well as some various fruit cups. Provides for a nice snack and left overs for the final destination.
I don't think she mentioned the overpriced food. I stop at at a couple of Buc-ee's every week or two and find myself fighting the force to buy anything other than some coffee and use their restrooms. I bought a "BBQ Turkey Sandwich" once and thought "Seriously? This is what I get for $8?" But it did taste ok, I guess.
Drove an out of town buddy: Austin to Lockart to Clear Lake, and he made me make some weirdass detour just so he could stop and get chocolate and peanut butter covered pretzels. That was it. ~10 years ago and I haven't been to a Buc'ees since. I ate 2 of them on the drive, they were pretty tasty.
I have one fairly close to my house, back before I switched to all electric lawn equipment, I would go there for ethanol free fuel. There was one down in Brazoria where i had some land, and I'd stop into there for basically everything. When I'm driving between Houston and San Antonio, I always stop at the one outside Luling to take a piss and get re-caffeinated. I used to go offshore fishing a lot, launching near surfside, there was a Bucees near there I always stopped at for random ****. Mostly it's just a reliably clean place to take a **** and pick up essentials.
