I’ll Have a Deep-Fried PB&J and Gas, Please

At the corner of Fremont Boulevard and Mowry Avenue in Fremont, there’s a Valero Gas Station with a sandwich and deep-fried-stuff shop inside it, says hhc, who didn’t sample anything, but reports that the menu includes:

• Hot sandwiches like double-dipped pastrami and cheesesteaks for $5.99
• Sliders, three for $4

• Garlic, gravy, or chili cheese fries
• Deep-fried Twinkies, Oreos, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and ham or turkey and cheese sandwiches

“I didn’t ask what kind of oil they use,” adds hhc. Castrol, perhaps?
