This was such a wonderful piece! I've always wanted to visit Texas, and I've heard Buc-ee's is a must! So funny how a gas station can be a cultural touchpoint for so many people. I loved the nostalgia in your writing. It made me think about some of my favorite places from my past, too 🩵🩵

I love Texas—I love Houston! Next time you visit, get their Alamo sandwich if you can. It’s one of the only cold cut sandwiches I will bloat for willingly.
