Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire If you're on the road and need something quick to eat on the go

And on along sleepy trip when you're tired, an apple or banana can give you a 3-4 hour unreal blast of energy and keep you awake on the road.

The sardines are great with some storeside gas stations jalapeno cheese crackers. Great too, for lunch on an all day quail hunt, especially if you have some sharp cheddar and mayo in the ice chest.

We need to do that some time Gun.,

Black coffee, fig bars, dried fruit and nut mix.
Sandwich for lunch. I try not to stop often on road trips. Usually set the CC 9mph over posted limit and try to knock out miles as fast as possible.

I second Jimmie Johns. Beats the holy hell out of subway.

Show nuff Buddy! we will.

Traveling - I try not to eat anything greasy or spicy.

It'll get my guts moving.


I was headed home from work once in south LA. Pains hit me. Wheeled into the first and only place I saw. Cutting it down to the seconds. Code red, the sweats had started.

Get into the bathroom and the door dont lock. And it opens into the store, not down a hall or around the corner.

So i hung my hat on the outside and hoped for the best.......

Agreed, but sometimes groceries become a necessity. I was hauling ass yesterday to get to the Turkey lease before dark to spend the night in the popup. I got the burger for last night and avoided cooking in the dark. I got the tacos and ate them this PM. Did pistachios and smoked almonds with coffee this AM.

I once left my spot on a ridge the elk fed down in the PM and hoofed it down into the canyon while praying that I didnt crap until I made the Creek. I wont do that again. Its hell bathing in a creek at 11,000 feet in elk season.

I use my Chick-fil-A app and order a couple spicy chicken sandwiches. Hit arriving and they bring the food out to you. Takes only a few minutes.
If they are not available I hit the Popeyes for their spicy chicken.

Spicy pork rinds and cold beer.

That could get exciting in Texas.

Hell, I still pack sandwiches or sandwich makings and stuff just like when we was kids on trips. Bags of cheetos and chips. Cookies! And sodie waters!!

I’ll drink to that

Me and Dad used to go out and fish at Lake Ray Hubbard on the outskirts of east Dallas when I was a kid. He'd stop at this General Store in Rockwall...there wasn't really nothing in Rockwall at the time, but the General Store, IIRC. Then we'd go bank fish. Dad would get us some ham and cheese sammiches at that store and get minnows in the bucket. Ice cold coke to warsh it all down. Mebbe some chips. Cheez Whiz.

A long time ago I used to eat at the Dairy Queen in Lindale, Texas frequently. Their tacos were damn good.

Yep, I've had tacos from LaPesca, Mexico to Alaska. They rank with the best and much better than most found in high class Mexican restaurants.

Pork Chop Sandwich. Mercury Street. Regular (mustard, onions, pickles)

If you’re in upper East Tn, PALS is where it’s at. A big Pal with cheese and a sauce burger is where it’s at. Come summertime when barby dogs are back....holy cow.

If in Idaho, pass the Dairy Queen and the Pop-Eyes, most anything else is better. From the taste, DQ changes the oil on the fryers every Leap year (whether it needs it or not) and even cooks their burgers in the fryers. All of their food has a rustic, floor of the barn type flavor. Truly horrible. I will take gas station burritos over DQ every time.

Pop-Eyes in Idaho is another experience in horrible. We had a Pop-Eyes in Idaho Falls for a few months. Super expensive, super slow, really bad food. I told my buddy in Boise about it and he said theirs was the same, must be a chain.

Anyway, I’m not fussy but disgusting and terrible prices or service leave a mark. I remember.

Cross

Braum’s.

Whataburger is Chicago-owned, now.

Dairy Queen is Berkshire Hathaway. The other issue is that I’ve been to too many DQ’s that take too long. I’m talking a near 20 minute wait for food. If I gotta wait that long, I might as well be getting a real meal.

A coworker once said that the subway bread aroma smells just like sweaty gym socks.

He was right. He ruined me on Subway. I can smell it walking in.

Not many Arbys around here anymore. But taco trucks abound.
