The Big Mozz burger at sheetz is top notch. Their Shmuffins are also very good. I think the Hoagies at GetGo are better. WaWa is better than both to be honest.

GetGo, at least the one on Rt. 8 in Shaler is just an incomplete product. They must be new and have no idea what they're doing yet because the food product they produce is barely recognizable as food. Sheetz at least provides something that's representative of the product.

Kwik Trip beats them both though in terms of quality of product. But it's more of a midwest thing.

That one on Route 8 has been there for years. GetGo always seems like undercooked, or just not good.

Yes, the hoagies at Wawa put Sheetz to shame.

Postby **dodint** » Wed May 01, 2019 1:05 pm

I thought the kitchen part was new though. I know the facility has been there longer than me (two years). That just makes it worse.

You're assessment is more on point than mine. That's what I meant by incomplete, the product feels similar to something like a hot pocket where they just took it out pre-assembled and microwaved it for you. I know that's not what they're doing but they somehow manage to capture that experience.

The one on Rt8 in Gibsonia is good. Much better than sheetz.

Although Sheetz schmuffins are bomb.

I was in philly a month back and had my first wawa trip. Infinitely better than both. I hope I run into Pittsburgh Dad Jr. sometime so I can tell him to his dumb bald face

I've said this before on this site, but all the Wawa's I've stopped at have been so filthy I'd never buy food there.

Wouldn't eat at Sheetz either, but all the ones I've been in are at least clean. Sheetz btw, did beat out Wawa in this poll: https://fox43.com/2019/04/19/sheetz-is- ... oice-poll/

The only thing GetGo is good for is buying gas with FuelPerks.

GetGo mozzarella sticks are trash. They also don't serve popcorn chicken.

Advantage Sheetz.

I also use WetGo as my go to car wash for cars I don't care to wash by hand.

We don't have convenience stores that has food that I'd voluntarily eat down here, but I've eaten at the Sheetz in Summersville, WV a couple of times. Not bad, from what I remember. We were on trips back from my sister-in-law up in Toronto, where she has a very hippie/restrictive diet. So we were probably really hungry at the time.

Listen to DK filling in for Madden or The PM Team today? I pick silence.

Postby **pens9192** » Fri May 03, 2019 3:11 pm

Ah yes PM Team start their show today wondering the A’s Moneyball ruined baseball and want you to call in to discuss it. Ok fine. Next segment you think they would take those calls. Nope, people had to wait on the line while they talked about a story about Derby winner horse poop you can buy. Then they went to commercial. And *click* who waits on hold to talk to them?

Absolute clown show but politically Mike Vukovcan is a great follow.

What compels someone to bother putting stuff like this on social media? I mean outside of being an enormous tosser.

Boneless pork chops. As a kid who was used to eating dry, tough chops (I’m sorry mom—it wasn’t your fault) I’m very interested to see how these turn out. 140 is med-rare, went slightly above for @alexlynk’s sake.

Postby **shafnutz05** » Sat May 04, 2019 1:55 pm

In fairness, sous vide pork chops are incredible.

Thought a saw Pittsburgh dad junior getting out a new Porsche Cayenne at Lowe’s on Saturday. Could have been another balding man with a gnarly beard though

Just realized I missed this, lol. PDJ lives a solid upper middle class lifestyle, but he doesn’t make ~$400k/yr like MM. That’s Porsche level money. You’re basically a Honda/Toyota person til you feasibly cross the $150 - $200 range. MM was there in the early 00’s for Nitro working once a week, which is just stupid money.

AFAIK Pittsburgh Dad Jr.'s wife was the breadwinner.

Hey now, we can’t all be like DK and his CRV: https://www.dkpittsburghsports.com/2019 ... wing-4-10/

Who is Pgh Dad Jr? Is that an auto-replace?

Postby **MrKennethTKangaroo** » Mon May 06, 2019 11:51 am

Pittsburgh Dad Jr.

Postby **MrKennethTKangaroo** » Mon May 06, 2019 11:51 am

yes it is

Postby **Morkle** » Mon May 06, 2019 12:02 pm

That would be Colin D. who is Pittsburgh Dad Jr. - Madden anointed him that, and honestly it's the perfect description.
