It’s the same bologna sandwich that Kim Finch, owner of Thunderbird Station in Deep Ellum, would order from a gas station just outside Oklahoma’s Lake Murray. She’d turn off the highway to devour cold bologna, sliced as thick as a paperback copy of
A Wrinkle in Time, white bread incandescent with French’s mustard and American cheese, and plenty of onion. If her family was in a more DIY mood, they would grab an armful of ingredients from the gas station’s shelves instead of ordering from the deli counter. We can share in the memory now with the Gone Fishin’ cold bologna sandwich on the menu at Thunderbird.
