Magazine: Food and drink at petrol stations
Since shopper demand is growing for quality foods, the operators of the biggest filling station chains are recruiting top chefs and using the best ingredients to prepare gourmet sandwiches, hot dogs, paninis, superb salads and high-quality coffees for drivers.
Dávid Kónya, category development manager of Shell told our magazine: last year they introduced the deli by Shell brand in Hungary, the product selection of which had been created with the help of star chef Fördős Zé. High-quality and tasty ingredients are used to make trendy foods, but the tastes Hungarian people tend like are also taken into consideration.
