Lesson Learned: Do not judge those by what they eat


Please do not judge me but today for lunch I ate a hot dog from a gas station.

I had 10 minutes in between interviews and my gas light in the car went on (we all know how much pain I’ve had with my gas light in the past) so I had enough time to either get gas or pick up something for lunch, I didn’t think twice, and immediately pulled into the Hess Station.

You would think I’d chose a bag of pretzels or maybe a Snickers but for some reason I could not resist the rotating hot dog stand in the very back corner of the store, I even panicked when I thought they were out of buns. Fortunately for the station clerk, they weren’t. I grabbed a bun, a hot dog that looked like it was burnt, slathered it with ketchup and mustard, and ran back to my car almost embarrassed for someone to see what I was carrying.

I’ve never had a gas station hot dog before and probably won't again but I’ll admit it was satisfying. I do know from now on I'll steer clear from judging those by what they eat because sometimes a craving is irresistible…lesson learned. 

Oh ya, I also had ribs for dinner, not exactly a healthy eating day but luckily I can always start fresh tomorrow!

So would you eat a gas station hot dog? Let me know!

  4. ALWAYS have to eat a dog at a gas station...most are ok, some - not so much...and then there are the random ones that are really good. Of course we all know that they are bad for you...but there is something to be said for a good dog - with the works, a napkin or three and a new memory freshly created while heading down that ribbon of blacktop...your facebook friend, john

  5. Best place to purchase a rotational hot dog in the world...The 7-11 in Cleveland Circle right outside Boston...Sometimes I even douse the dog in cheese and chili from the dispenser, making the experience a little more memorable.
