And he went on to talk about Wawa, which co-star Kate Winslet described as "mythical" and the heart of Delaware County.

"They’ve got great coffee, hot food, chips, they got all of it," he told the Times.

Peters confirmed what Winslet said about him, that he was a huge fan of the seasonal "Gobbler" sandwich.

"It has all of the Thanksgiving accouterments," Peters said. "Turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy. You don’t even need to cook Thanksgiving dinner. You can just [eat] the Gobbler."
