This week may not be your traditional restaurant review, but still one of the Generals' favorites! Julia VanSant '15 fills us in on the Stop In Food Store!
Stop In is a food store located in the Exxon gas
station in Lexington town. While this may seem like your typical fast food and
snack place, it is visited frequently by W&L students and is famous for its
hot dogs.
Stop In is a quick walk from the GL dorms and main
campus. Not only are these hot dogs some of the best hot dogs I've had (hot
dogs happen to be one of my favorite foods, so I am a tough critic) but they
also only cost 97 cents per hot dog! Therefore, it is an inexpensive and quick
way to enjoy a delicious meal! This station is a self serve station with
condiments such as ketchup, mustard, relish, and onions- your typical hot dog
toppings. You can choose bun or no bun.

There is nothing better than grabbing a hot dog before
floating down the Maury river or making a trip to Panther Falls- trips that the
Gennies lacrosse team loves to do! While Stop In is famous for its hot dogs,
they sell many different items in addition. For example, Sammy Yates, a mid
fielder for the Generals, loves their beef jerky in addition to their hot
dogs.
