Three Ways We Can Get A Buc-ee’s In Illinois According to AI
People love Buc-ee's. I've never been, and as someone who has not filled up at the place, I tend to think it's only a gas station.
That would be inherently incorrect.
WHY PEOPLE LOVE BUC-EE'S
The Smokies asked the same question last year, wondering why people are so obsessed with Buc-ee's.
The way it appears to me, it's not just gas at Buc-ee's. It's the food, the snacks (Beaver Nuggets?), the merch, and then the "famous bathrooms."
BUC-EE'S ALSO MAKES BBQ BRISKET
Buc-ee's also serves brisket. Take that in for a second. A gas station serves brisket.
I guess I shouldn't be so stunned. Some of the best BBQ I've ever had came from a gas station.
Rockford's finest BBQ is also made and served at a gas station, so I've changed my mind; I'm now excited.

The only issue is that Buc-ee's has no plans to open a location in Illinois.
That doesn't mean we can't make it happen, so I asked Google Gemini for help making my gas station brisket sandwich dreams a reality.
