Listen to the episodeFlorida restaurants are having a moment, with many eateries receiving nods from some pretty prestigious organizations. At the same time, there’s a whole other culinary scene that’s equally popular—one that’ll likely never be the radar of the prestigious Michelin Guide or James Beard Foundation. We’re talking about food served in convenience stores, gas stations and other mom-and-pop eateries. Maybe you’ve eaten some amazing food in these places.

One in particular caught our attention: vanilla. You can almost smell it, can’t you?
