Tailgate Gas Station Food Reviews with Stafford Shurden
The Delta farmer and restaurateur started doing gas station food reviews on social media in January 2020. Along the way, he’s eaten a lot of good food and made lasting friends.
He’s a Delta farmer. He is a restaurateur. He is a former Justice Court judge. He is a public speaker. He is the father of two daughters. Yet the thing that Stafford Shurden is most known for is a series of online videos where he eats and reviews gas station food from the tailgate of his pickup truck.
“People actually recognize me when I go into gas stations,” he laughs.
Shurden, a native of Drew, Mississippi, has a viral following on Facebook and YouTube for his Tailgate Gas Station Review series.
“I guess it resonates with people because gas stations have a history of being ‘democratic’ places, even during segregation,” Shurden said. “You might see a tractor driver and a lawyer both ordering fried chicken. Gas station food is something people agree on – it doesn’t really push a hot button with anyone.”
Adopted at birth by “incredible parents,” Shurden is a third-generation cotton farmer.
“My granddad, who was born in 1917, was a mule trader, the youngest of 18 kids. I grew up on the farm and my dad and granddad were my heroes,” he recalled. “I figured out early on that if I wanted to be around them, I needed to work on the farm. I turned 50 this month, and I’m still doing manual labor on the farm.”
When his dad retired in his late 50s, back in the 1990s, Shurden bought the farm equipment from his dad and uncle.
“I started farming for myself in 2000,” he said, adding that after he quit farming, his dad was elected Justice Court judge in Sunflower County. Shurden’s dad was diagnosed with colon cancer and lived two and a half years.
“After my dad died, I was approached by a county supervisor who told me they had to appoint somebody to fill my dad’s seat. He asked if I would be willing to serve. I had always had political aspirations, so I agreed to do it,” he said.
Shurden then ran four times for Justice Court judge and won each time, serving a total of 15 years.
“I ran for the last time in 2015. My last day as a judge was December 31, 2019. That job was the only paycheck I’ve gotten in my life, although I didn’t do it for the money. I believe in what our founding fathers wanted, and in time, that was for new people to take over these positions,” Shurden said.
No stranger to social media, Shurden says that while he was a judge, he did a lot through social media.
“I was limited to a code of conduct, so there was a fine line of what I could do.”
At one time, Shurden owned two restaurants. Now he owns just one, and like any businessperson, he wants to see it succeed.
“I worked with David Crews, the founder of the Delta Supper Club, to cater an event at the B.B. King Museum in Indianola. They wanted fried fish and turnip greens. I realized how special our food is here. That is what people choose to eat. I tucked that away,” he said.
As he traveled around the Delta, Shurden did what thousands of people do every day. He ate lunch on the go from a gas station.
“I realized they were serving the same kind of food I served in my restaurant, so I started doing little reviews, as a comparison of their food to ours. It was meant to be tongue-in-cheek,” Shurden said, noting that he started doing the reviews in January 2020, and it picked up during the lockdown. “Restaurants were shut down, but gas stations were open. I thought the whole thing would be funny.”
The first review he did was at Granny’s Corner in McCall Creek, Mississippi.
“I believe the population there is two, and that’s only when the gas station is open,” he said. “It looks like something from the movie Oh Brother, Where Art Thou. It was located at a crossroads, and they had a huge chalkboard menu. They served everything on the menu every day.”
Shurden got feedback immediately from his first few reviews.
“I did a review on United Deli in Columbus. The owner was from the Middle East, and the review got over 50,000 views. A customer in my restaurant told me one day that the owner of United Deli asked him to tell me, ‘Thank you,’ because his business was booming because of the review.”
That was an epiphany moment for Shurden.
“I realized that I could do reviews to make a difference in people’s lives. I had done a couple of bad reviews prior to that, but I made a decision that day to never do a bad review again. If a gas station has bad food, I just won’t run the review. I’d say about 25% of the reviews I do never make to YouTube.”
The reviews run about three minutes.
“I have 160 hours of video that I run three minutes at a time,” Shurden said. “I have run millions of minutes on Facebook in the last three years.”
His daughter has insisted he get on TikTok, so his videos are running on that platform as well.
“I suppose she was right, because I have several videos on TikTok with over a half million views.” And for the record, Shurden’s videos are not monetized. “I do not make money doing this.”
Early on, finding a place to review was easy.
“There was plenty of low-hanging fruit, as there are so many gas stations scattered throughout the Delta,” he said, but after doing reviews of all of them, he had to expand his reach. “One of my daughters and I drove to Key West for her to go diving. It was a nice father-daughter trip, and we found a lot of great gas stations along the way.”
One of those was Dion’s Quick Chik, which Shurden says is exactly like a Double Quick found throughout the Delta.
“I do a lot more research ahead of time now. Nothing shocks me any more thanks to the feedback I get on social media. I’ll do a review of a place and get comments like, ‘If you like that, you have to try this.’ I read the comments and I get fewer bad spots than I used to.”
Shurden still gets surprised from time to time, like the time he visited a place on Poplar Avenue in Memphis.
“It’s like walking in a Whole Foods. It is so clean, and they have fresh salad, fresh fruit bowls, and the best sushi made by a Japanese guy behind the counter.”
The majority of the food Shurden reviews is country cooking and soul food.
“You start to figure out that regionally things are different. In the Delta, there is more fried chicken. On the Coast, there are more po’boys. Kent and Sue’s Quick Stop outside Bay St. Louis features a full buffet, along with made-to-order po’boys and hamburgers.”
Shurden even noticed a difference in the way chicken is prepared in different regions of the state.
“Corinth, just four hours from my house, is on the edge of Appalachia. The culture is different there. They have two kinds of chicken, spicy and not spicy,” he said.
And more than just trying food in the places he visits; Shurden often makes new friends.
“When I went inside that convenience store in Corinth, the lady inside said she knew who I was. That’s how I learned just how small Mississippi is. Then a man approached me in that store and said he knew my cousin.”
Just off Highway 98 in Hattiesburg, Mercury Pizza Company anchors a gas station. While pizza and gas isn’t an unexpected combination, learning there is a woodfired brick oven inside was amazing to Shurden.
“When I was there, a big dude walked up to my truck and asked what score they got. He told me he grew up in Parchman and I realized I went to school with his twin brother and sister. We have kept in touch since then.”
While at a gas station called The Dive on 45, located on Highway 45 around Buckatunna in Wayne County, Shurden observed a man dressed in a button-down shirt and starched khakis.
“I was intrigued and stopped to talk with him. He owned the place, and as it turns out, we had been duck hunting together in Drew. That video got 750,000 views.”
Sometimes Shurden is taken by surprise.
“I stopped to get gas and a bite to eat on my way out of Meridian and I stopped at a sketchy-looking place called Seafood Express. There were bars on the windows, and it just had a run-down look to it,” he said. “But inside, they were serving soft shell crabs and one of the best shrimp po’boys I’ve ever eaten. The place is owned by a Vietnamese family who has family on the Coast who deliver fresh fish daily.”
Another surprise was a taqueria attached to a gas station in Natchez.
“They didn’t speak English, and I wasn’t really sure what I was ordering, but it was really good.”
That helped fuel Shurden’s growing interest in ethnic food.
“At the Gautier First Stop, a Vietnamese family serves Chinese food, including handmade eggrolls. They moved to the Gulf Coast from Florida where they ran an authentic Chinese buffet.”
Shurden often loads up a cooler of finds he makes on the road.
“I love going to Vine Brothers in Centerville where they make their own sausages. When you go inside, there is a meat market on the left and a full-service restaurant on the right. They even have a full catering business,” he said.
South Louisiana has a whole other level of food.
“I have certain stops where I load up on boudin and cracklins. And there is a gas station in New Orleans that I believe has the best fried chicken in town. There is a chain of gas stations in that area called Danny & Clyde’s and they serve an exceptional roast beef po’boy.”
While heavily influenced by Anthony Bourdain, Shurden says his reviews are nothing like the famous food journalist.
“He did have an influence on the way I feel about food. He really listened to what people had to say.”
To date, Shurden has made 149 food review videos. “That’s a lot of content.” He has been recognized as a powerful force in the convenience store industry, and he has been tapped to be the keynote speaker at this year’s conference for the National Association of Convenience Stores. But doing the reviews is getting harder, as Shurden farms all by himself.
“I do feel that I have a good body of work,” he says. “I want to do something special for my 150th review.”

My friend Jarrod is dying after an eight year battle with cancer. He’s lived a life worth celebrating, one that has drawn people to Christ.
I was going about my business this week when I received a text that stopped me in my tracks. A college friend was being moved to hospice care.
Jarrod Egley was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in early 2017. In the fall of 2018, tests revealed the cancer had spread to his lungs and Jarrod’s cancer was classified as Stage IV.
For almost eight years from the date of the original diagnosis, he’s fought. Through surgeries, radiation, endless rounds and cycles of chemotherapy, and experimental immunotherapies, he’s fought.
Last year, I flew out to California and spent some time with Jarrod and his wife, Emily. We sat outside one night. He acknowledged to me that it was not a question of ‘if’, but ‘when’ the cancer would claim his life. I told him I was sorry, because what else is there to say?
We talked about our faith, about the trials of Job, about Jacob wrestling with God, about Paul’s affliction. But mostly we reflected on our time together in school, on the good things, and the mundane things, that happened since.
Jarrod and I met at Tulane University. One Sunday morning in the Spring of my freshman year, I rose from my dorm room bed, dressed, and began walking down Saint Charles Avenue in New Orleans with no particular agenda. I walked until I came across First Baptist Church and the thought flickered in the vacuous recesses of my brain to enter.
Some would say it was a lark. The Calvinist in me says providence. The walk that morning changed the trajectory of my time at Tulane and my life on the whole. Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and the Baptist Collegiate Ministry became central to my life and put me in regular league with Jarrod. I met him first at the BCM and we ultimately ended up attending church together.
Jarrod was a faithful servant on and off campus. He helped organize a group of us that would weekly make our way down to the Esplanade seawall on the backside of the French Quarter to feed the homeless. On Friday nights, he could be found at chapel with a small cadre of students foregoing Bourbon Street for early 2000s worship music.
Jarrod was a loyal friend in those years. Never rude or biting. Not prone to an insult for an easy laugh. Persistently encouraging. An engineering student, his mind worked linearly and was oriented to problem solving. There were never a lot of wasted words — always a lot of deliberative questions when he disagreed or did not understand a point. He exhibited intelligence, empathy, and the kind of moral conviction that sets someone apart.
He also had a wry and dry sense of humor and a penchant for beating people at Madden football. He was fair-to-midland on the ultimate frisbee pitch. Along the way, there were crawfish boils, Mardi Gras outtings, poorly attended Tulane football games, and more than a decent amount of wing eating.
After college, I lost touch with Jarrod. He moved back to his home state of California. He got married to his college sweetheart, who could not have anticipated her husband’s journey, but has been a steady and constant helpmate throughout. Jarrod became a very successful engineer and a bourbon connoisseur. One of his bucket list trips took him to Kentucky, where he got to meet and became friends with bourbon “Hall of Famer” Freddie Johnson of Buffalo Trace acclaim.
Sitting in his backyard nearly 20 years after graduating from Tulane, I saw many of the same qualities I had grown to admire when we were students together. I saw a husband who doted on and supported Emily’s passions. But I also saw someone whose body had been beaten to hell and back, who was tired, and who, like Jacob, had been wrestling with God. We quickly fell back into friendship, which perhaps is the mark of good friendship.
We all have aspirations in our youth — for the kind of spouse or parent we might be, for what we might accomplish, for what we might experience. Along the way, dreams are satisfied, modified, or they die on the vine. The clock inevitably works against all of us. That night in Oceanside, California, Jarrod, a numbers guy, saw that time was not on his side. He believed, as we all would, that he still had more to give, more impact to be made, and more things to see and experience.
After that trip, Jarrod and I stayed in touch, most frequently triggered by news of his cancer. It has been mostly the bad variety in recent months. Now spread throughout his body, down to his bones, he has lived in constant pain for months. Not even a steady diet of morphine and an implanted pain pump solve for it. Jarrod’s been hospitalized twelve times just in 2023.
But his matter of fact sense of humor and way of seeing the world remains in tact. So too does his faith that despite these trials, he has always been safe in the hands of Christ.
There are people in the world who believe that life is random, disordered, and without reason. I am not among them. I think my friend is staring mortality in the face at Christmas for a reason.
For thousands of years before Christ came, there was darkness and despair. Sin and shame gripped the hearts of men. Until one holy night, God, in His infinite love, mercy and wisdom, sent His son to save. Jesus is the light of the world and the hope of man. He has won victory over death and Jarrod’s will not be the exception. Jesus came for Jarrod, and for you.
For thousands of years since Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection, His disciples have been used as divine instruments to point the way to God. Jarrod is among them. If life expectancies were the measure, Jarrod would be at the midway point for most people. He’s made a lifetime of impact for the Kingdom and on other people.
So, to my friend Jarrod, you were placed here with a purpose. You have run your race. You are loved. And when this chapter closes, you will hear “well done, my good and faithful servant.” There is no greater evidence of a life well lived.
While Jarrod and Emily have been fortunate to have health insurance, their portion of the medical bills so far in 2023 have eclipsed $30,000, and Emily is facing additional uncovered expenses during Jarrod’s hospice care, including a night nurse that costs over $400 a night. If you would like to help defray the cost, a contribution can be made at their Go Fund Me page.

3. Cassidy arrested in Iowa for beheading Satanic Temple statue
Former Mississippi congressional and legislative candidate Michael Cassidy was arrested this week in Iowa for beheading a statue at the state’s Capitol erected by The Satanic Temple.
Cassidy reportedly decapitated the statue and turned himself to police on Thursday. He was charged with fourth degree criminal mischief. He then started an online legal defense fund where he’s raised upwards of $20,000 as of Thursday night, according to his X account.
4. “Serial fraudster” ordered to cease offering investments into companies
According to the Mississippi Secretary of State’s office, on October 26, 2023, Secretary Michael Watson and the Securities Division issued an order against Stephone N. Patton. The SOS says Patton is a serial fraudster with multiple criminal convictions in Mississippi and Florida.
Through business filings with the SEC and Mississippi, Patton has held himself to be the CEO of various companies, including Star Oil and Gas Company, Inc., North Gulf Energy Corporation, Inc., Patton Oilfield Services, Inc., and Patton Farms, LLC.
The SOS says using these business filings and company websites, Patton claimed to have raised hundreds of billions of dollars through investment opportunities. Through investigative efforts and collaboration with the SEC, the SOS discovered none of Patton’s companies are operational, have any assets, or generate any revenues. Account records show Patton spent investors’ funds almost as soon as he received them on personal expenses. The total amount of known investments made to Patton’s fraudulent companies is over $80,000. Further, none of Patton’s investment offerings have been registered or notice filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office.
The SOS order requires Patton to cease and desist from offering investments with his companies, requiring Patton to permanently deactivate his companies’ websites to prevent any further dissemination of his false or misleading information. Patton is also ordered to pay an administrative penalty of $25,000 to the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office for these violations, in addition to restitution owed to all his Mississippi investors.
National News & Foreign Policy
1. Congressional retirements mounting as 2024 election cycle nears
Retirement and departure announcements are piling up ahead of the start to the 2024 election cycle. The New York Times has developed a Retirement Tracker that currently shows 22 Democrats and 11 Republicans who are in Congress now will not be seeking re-election next year.
“Dozens of members of Congress have announced plans to leave their seats in the House of Representatives, setting a rapid pace for congressional departures, with more expected as the 2024 election draws closer,” the NY Times reports. “Given Republicans’ razor-thin House majority, the wave of exits has the potential to lead to a significant shake-up next year.”
You can find the tracker here.
2. Texas, Daily Wire, The Federalist sue U.S. State Department over media censorship
The U.S. State Department’s Global Engagement Center has come under fire as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton along with The Daily Wire and The Federalist have filed a federal lawsuit alleging that the department funded technology that could “render disfavored press outlets unprofitable.” They claim that the department has helped social media – Facebook, YouTube and X (formerly Twitter) – to censor free speech while funding technologies used to censor right-leaning news outlets such as theirs.
New Civil Liberties Alliance is representing The Daily Wire and The Federalist. Paxton and the outlets claim the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a British think tank, received a $100,000 grant from the State Department in 2021, and NewsGuard, which rates the “misinformation” levels of news outlets, received $25,000 from the State Department in 2020, according to the lawsuit.
According to the State Department’s website, the Global Engagement Center’s mission is to direct, lead, synchronize, integrate, and coordinate U.S. Federal Government efforts to recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States, its allies, and partner nations.
As reported by Reuters, the lawsuit cited a GDI-produced list from December 2022 that ranked The Daily Wire and The Federalist as among the 10 “riskiest sites” for news while the least-risky included The New York Times, Associated Press and NPR. Reuters notes that the lawsuit alleges such “blacklists” are reducing revenues to The Daily Wire and The Federalist along with their visibility on social media and ranking results from browser searches.

Interim Third-Party Director Ted Henifin said this week that only about 59% of the City of Jackson’s water customers are paying their bills.
JXN Water has announced new rates and fees coming in 2024. Those who are not paying will be at risk of shut offs.
The company, which was established by federal appointed interim Third-Party Director Ted Henifin, has been overseeing the city’s water system for the better part of a year.
Officials estimated that the average cost for water in the city was $76 per month for residents. Henifin clarified that JXN water will not attempt to recoup any charges prior to November 29, 2022, and will work with those who have failed to pay since that time.
He said only about 59 percent of the city’s water customers are paying their bills.
“You can’t forgive bills, so we have to be creative in how we part that,” said Henifin in reference to Mississippi’s laws that prevent giving away water.
According to a release by JXN Water announcing the rate changes, residents in single family households with small meters that use up to 748 gallons daily would see a bill increase of roughly .30 cents per day. Research indicates that the average U.S. family uses 300 gallons per day.
SNAP customers will have a new rate tier that could lower their bill by up to .69 cents per day, on average.
“Those who need to save the most benefit from saving money by drinking tap water. This new rate structure makes water affordability possible for 12,500 JXN Water customers who receive SNAP benefits,” said Henifin in the release.
Read more about the anticipated rate changes here.
New fees will also be implemented, including a new service fee of $50, service deposit of $100, returned check fee of $25, service restoration fee of $100, and meter tampering charge of $500.
JXN Water has continued to encourage residents to use the water, with Henifin going on the record in a federal status hearing saying that the water “was safe to drink.”
More conversation regarding the billing process is expected to come at next week‘s Jackson City Council meeting.
