I have opined on my take on AM/PM Mini Mart ready to eat foods in the past, my opinion hasn’t changed – adequate hot food, great value proposition.
There are few dollar menus that can beat the proposition AM/FM has to offer – two hot dogs for $1.50, two larger dogs or burgers for $2.50. It’s a “dress your own” affair with a condiment bar that offers pickle chips, relish, mayo, mustard, ketchup, jalapenos, cheese, and chili. Some stores have diced onions as well.
My affair with this food started in Los Angeles in the mid-80s, occasionally I would grab two burgers for breakfast (seems like they were 2/ $1 at the time, IIRC, and while the price has edged up a little, the quality has improved by light years. (Not that they were bad then, just that heat and eat technology has improved.
I had a dog and a burger yesterday, $2.50. The ultimate of “dining in on the hood’.
I like ’em. So sue me. “Hey kids, wanna go out to dinner?”
