The United States of Gas Station Food

We got the idea for this episode from a Travel & Leisure article on the <a href='https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/best-small-towns-in-americahttps://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/best-small-towns-in-america'>11 Best Small Towns in America</a> which allowed for places with 15,000 people or less but we aren't putting population restrictions on this list. If we consider it a small town or it has a strong small-town feel then it is in! We are sharing our top 15 places and, of course, there are a ton of honorable mentions for places we want to go but haven't yet.
If you are wanting to get back on the road, wanting a slower pace, and craving that small-town feel then this episode will spur some wanderlust & a go-to list worth embarking on.
