7 Former Gas Stations That Are Now Restaurants Worth Visiting - AFAR

"Opened in 1996, Joe’s Kansas City operates out of a former Sinclair gas station and was crowned one of the '13 places to eat before you die' by Anthony Bourdain. The barbecues are fired up with Missouri white oak—the same wood that whiskey distillers use to make the barrels that store and age bourbon. Try the sausage made in Joe’s own smokehouse or the restaurant’s signature dish, the Z Man sandwich. Made with brisket and provolone and topped with an onion ring, it’s named after local sports radio station owner Mike “Z-Man” Zarrick, who designed the sandwich back when Joe’s first opened." - Adrienne Jordan
