As a son of a truck driver I love the community. Everyone for the most part are very friendly, and love the road. Even now when I visit truck stops on my travels with friends they still remember from when I was a kid, and occasionally tell me my dad was just in the area. They take care of their own. My dad always tries to help if its something he can do if he sees someone having trouble. Even if its just help with a meal. The truck stop in Iowa is great I love it.
I have recently discovered your channel, Ken. I'm a trucker from Tennessee and used to run between the GTA and Detroit frequently. Been to the Flying J many times. Great place to stop, good parking, showers (free with 50 US gallons or 200 liters, or around $15 if no fuel) and...food! I too heartily recommend the Canadian Benedict! Canadians have a reputation for being friendly and most I have met uphold that well. I miss going to Canada sometimes but my current operation keeps me closer to home, so that's nice. I do need to pop into Timmie's for a Double-Double and a crueller though. Our US brands just aren't the same. Cheers!
Flying J is a lifesaver, ate at the restaurants many times, but their random food in the convenience store part is also good. Spicy chicken pieces for breakfast at 9am.
Fried egg, toasted sourdough bread, copious amounts of butter, fried bacon, waffles with copious maple syrup/butter, whipped cream, bacon bits, and a strong coffee with good quality creamer.
Just saw video. 👍.looking to your I 80 video. Xmas morning 2006 I woke up there to massive CB chatter, James Brown had passed away in the night, I shall never forget. Spent the day there awesome place.
These videos I love because they show more of the blue highways of North America as well as unique places to visit and different venues for eats. I’d have oj,coffee double double of course,poached eggs on the runny side bacon and rye toast. I like balsamic dressing and Al Capone’s nickname was Scarface.
the flying j looks like it really knows how to run a great business. the harvest restuarant food looks fantastic. i love your review - surely unique focusing on truck stops etc. there are not enough places for truckers to pull in to. good luck on your travels.
Suggestion for you Ken: Why don't you ask a Truck Driver what their favorite places they go to on their journeys? And try them out. Sound interesting!!
Salisbury steak and pan fries. Side of sliced tomato and rye/multigrain toast! Fun video and 1st class insight provided. Thank you for sharing the experience!
Hey KBD! Greetings from Germany. The Wiener Schnitzel is a inofficial brandmark of his own. If you Name your Schnitzel "Wiener" it must be calf meat! If you got no Calf as meat youll have to Name it Wiener Style Schnitzel. Do me a favour and visit Germany for the good food and great food communitys!
Just saw that episode. Am in KC now but used to live/work in Dallas area for 16. Went to New Braunfels for Wurstfest a few times and loved to get some Sauerbraten. Miss Kolaches.
I 80 truck stop in Iowa? Looking forward to it. Truck stops are a happy/sad phenomenon. Truckers are grateful to shower, eat and relax, and yet it's never home.
@@JMLS20 so I googled flying m . It's still there , so my memory AND Google are wrong , or we are talking 2 completely different places . It was by memory , near Ford Talbotville , and was moving to just off the 401 not all that far away. And after looking it up , my memory was right .
Iowa 80 is very nice,went in March when driving from Nebraska to Virginia to visit family for a vacation. You'll enjoy it Ken. Looking forward to seeing the video when you go. Safe travels!
I can't wait to see you checking out Iowa. I grew up there before moving to Buffalo, NY a few years ago. You'll be near Davenport - if you get a chance check out The Iowa Machine Shed restaurant for a good mid-western meal. It's a really good farmer - farm to table restaurant. If you plan to head to the capital Des Moines, you have to check out Zombie Burger. Their original location in downtown is all zombie themed. They have a mall location in Coralville which is about 45 minutes away from the truck stop you mentioned. It's the same food, you just don't get the full theme experience. They have unique burgers and definitely get a basket of fries with Zombie Sauce. If you want to continue the gas station theme Casey's General Store is a BIG deal in Iowa known for their pizza takeout. You can find a Casey's in almost every small or big town in Iowa. Also in Des Moines if you want something really interesting, check out Fong's Pizza - crab rangoon pizza, kung pao chicken pizza and General Tso's chicken pizza. They were featured on The Travel Channel's Pizza Paradise a few years ago. Have fun.
Love the visit to Flying ( J’s ) here in the US. We have fast food at ours, not sit down restaurants! I’m leery of pickles too. Liking them more now that I’ve learned to make my own. Great job!
Yes I been there numerous times and it is a very big facility last time I was there was back in 2010 but since then they revamped the place and added on new additions but it's like a whole city in itself.
I know I'm late to this video really late but my favorite breakfast is the most basic breakfast three strips of bacon 3 scrambled eggs butter toast and strawberry jam and of course the Mojo in the cup I prefer Folgers
Two Bubba's signature beef and bacon grind patties (half pound total weight) pressed and stacked with American cheese, fried egg, smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato and onion.
I once walked in on 2 gay truck drivers making out with eachother in the washroom. Everything in that gas station food wise is trash. Coffee is trash and the gas is the only thing id buy. The gas station pizza there is complete garbage. Soggy floppy greasy uncooked. Absolutely disgusting
My favorite is home made tamales fried in butter on both sides, basted eggs, and beans with jalepeno,bacon,onion cilantro and serve with a tortilla. BOOM!
I didn't either until I got soft-boiled eggs in ramen and fried over-easy eggs in some other Asian rice dishes. Now I love them...except sunny side up is still too undercooked for me. I also still prefer my scrambled eggs not at all runny.
That's just near to me. I live in Kitchener Ont and I used to love going to Tu Lane truck stop just near Cambridge Ont. They had the 24 hour breakfast that I loved and the roast beef dinner. They had the regular portion and the truckers portion. It was huge. They closed down about 15-20 years ago. There's nothing like Canadian bacon(back bacon). They were last of the small mom and pop truck stops. There is just big corporate stops now. Glad you liked our Canuck hospitality. Like everywhere you'll have good and bad services from people. Glad you had a good experience.

Oh yeah Ken,hanging round truck stops looking for Canadian Bacon.
Marinated chicken breast with pepper jack cheese, Bubba's smoked bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato and onion on focaccia bread.

That was an interesting change from your usual format, I really enjoyed it. I'd love to see more videos like this xx
Joanne Gray
I agree. I totally love these videos.
I could just see ken as a long haul trucker, he’s got the look!
Yes he dose
He looks like a Kenny fan
@@wesfudge ... these 'shitty' vids get more views than his normal reviews.
For sure! I thought so too
He looks too soft for that line of work
I really question my whole existence when I end up watching an old man eat shitty food from truck stops
lol u're pretty funny
@My Fitness Romance I would still consider a salad shitty food hahahah.
😂😂😂
I've really felt the same watching his videos yet I find myself unable to stop watching them
Clearly you have never ate at a truck stop Best food I have ever had and I was 15 it the time
Three fried eggs and steak and home fries and strawberry jam and toast.
Unfortunately,I'm not a trucker,but,I absolutely love and cherish small town diners and truckstop restaurants!
Right on
Drive, safe.sir.and.enjoy.your.food

Nice looking Truck stop and the food looks delicious, I love Blue cheese dressing on my salad
So good

I love Flying J ! I wish there were more!!🇨🇦
I am curious about one thing they didn't say anything about you being there all day ? !
Maybe staff switched so they didn't notice.
It's a truck stop, some truckers spend the day there. It isn't unusual.
I know this doesn't sound like much to you all but i really like the sausage egg mcmuffin from McDonalds here
Why is it so fascinating watching somebody eat 🤷♂️😂
Cause you're bored i guess lol
It activates the reptilian part of your brain
@@Fatniqqa i dunno why but this cracked me up like crazy lol
Fried egg, toasted sourdough bread, copious amounts of butter, fried bacon, waffles with copious maple syrup/butter, whipped cream, bacon bits, and a strong coffee with good quality creamer.
Sourdough.....😵😛😌#comfortfood
I'm from the Netherlands, and all the foods they serve in the US and Canada really intrigue me haha. Thanks for the awesome videos Ken, stay healthy!
I adore truck stops, they have everything you would ever need.
Really enjoyed this one Ken. Much nicer than yet more corporate junk food. Thanks and keep going!
Thanks for all your support on my videos :D
Biscuits and sausage gravy, best breakfast ever😝
two thumbs up with these style of reviews i like them fanstastic
Your truck stop videos is what made me a fan love your work your awesome
Try "Tony's" in Birchrun Michigan sometime, they have wicked a breakfast!

Eggs benedict i just love them ,,,"ohh my" have with bacon aswell, i feel hungry now ,teasing it is.number one as usual.
I love these videos!
I used to travel with my grandfather in his truck all over and my favorite truckstop food is at the petro iron skillet
That one is good!
Mason Plott your grandpa was allowed to take you with in his trailer? Awesome

Interesting vid I just gas up and go usually but Peterbuilts are like Mercedes of trucks PS nice change of things
yeppers
Ontario is so crazy expensive!!! I am having sticker shock seeing these prices. Downtown MTL is cheaper!
Yup
Something about truck stop coffee mugs always amazed me. Classic coffee mugs.
gotta come to Texas and try Buc-ee's its huge and the food is amazing

You should’ve reviewed the truck stop glory hole too
Lmao 😂
I like the homestyle pan fried with onions is my potato choice..never tried them eggs..looked awesome.
The flying J in London Ontario has Denny's as it's restaurant
The flying m still around ?
Shawnlize Leatherdale it's actually called the flying J
@@JMLS20 huh , okay , I haven't been there since 96

The breakfast looks amazing yummy is right thank you for sharing 😀
Superb video
Another great video, Ken!! 👍😀
You ROCK! 🤪
Greetings from Germany! 😁
Look t ken there dressing up as a trucker. Hey ken, where’s your rig parked? You should have asked for the “Canadian Benedict, EH?”
Iowa 80 is very nice,went in March when driving from Nebraska to Virginia to visit family for a vacation. You'll enjoy it Ken. Looking forward to seeing the video when you go. Safe travels!
I Love to get corned beef hash, a couple sunny side up eggs, fried potatoes, and toast with butter... my go to always 🤤
Ah definitely...👍🏴
absolutely love the way he eats correctly. not swapping the fork over repeatedly like Americans do. perfect knife fork etiquette. Oh Canada!

Any time! Have a fun and safe trip.
I’ve been telling him to go to Iowa he needs to go to the biggest truck stop in United States.
Keefster !

Being a retired long haul trucker, I do occasionally take a load for a friend that runs out of hours and needs it delivered on time.
Take a load for a friend. Sounds kind of gay to me. Just kidding Martin.
Ha!!!
another great vid. worth the time. Thank you KBD. . .
I’ve never had an eggs Benedict before but that looked so good Ken
This episode immediately gave me Food Network/Travel Channel vibes. Nice work. 🤙🏼
Yes I been there numerous times and it is a very big facility last time I was there was back in 2010 but since then they revamped the place and added on new additions but it's like a whole city in itself.
What i love about the Iowa 80 truck stop is the chrome shop and those pretty truck they have on display..
When did this channel go from food reviews to reviewing trucks? 🤣
🤣
When did he review trucks? He talked about where trucks were from AFTER he reviewed the food. SMH.
He reviews everything .... love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⁉️
Don’t get me wrong. Still love the channel!!!!!
@@mattmax11 dont know what channel your watching pal
Hope you're having an awesome day this is my favorite video love watching your videos
HEY MAN, GREAT VIDEO!!!! HAM AND EGGS FOR SURE FOR ME!!! AND NOT THAT LUNCH MEAT HAM! THE THICK CUT STEAK STYLE HAM!!
I know I'm late to this video really late but my favorite breakfast is the most basic breakfast three strips of bacon 3 scrambled eggs butter toast and strawberry jam and of course the Mojo in the cup I prefer Folgers
The flannel makes me think you're auditioning to be on Letterkenny.
Letterkenny isn't far from Ayr, ON
He is very polite and sweet, god blessed him
if you ever get to the flying J in KENTUCK They have an amazing alll you can eat ..... its at the top of the hilll just south of the Ohio river
I think these traveling/truck stop vids are awesome. Hope you do many more!
My dad would have back handed me if I held the fork like that.
I love biscuits and gravy but this would be great I love this but not to many places have this great looking place.
Should’ve got a side of hollandaise to dip the home fries
Yummy 😋!
I’ve never had hollandaise sauce before... looks per good... and gravy is “gravyyyy” !!!🤤
Hollandaise is so good altough very rich 😉
What was shown was kind of thick. Ken was right. The Hollandaise sauce and eggs have to be kinda runny.
Chipped beef 🍖 on toast is my favorite. Love your videos!
The eggs benedict and the home fries were to die for.
Cute video! My husband and I live on our sailboat, sailing around the world so traveling is in our blood! Maybe we will cross paths someday. Cheers ~
I have never been to one, but you need to check out Buc-ee's Fuel Center in Texas if you ever get the chance
Country Fried Steak and Eggs!! A personal favorite of mine!! That should be next on the menu Ken!
I dont know, I'd ask for some garlic salt, or something to taste up those sad, bland, cafeteria looking vegetables. That and pepper. Something.
I’m a truck driver of 6yrs thx for posting vids of what we eat haha
Been watching u for years now, I’m in Columbus Ohio u really need to make a trip out here and lunch is on me 👍🏻
Keep up to great work on the videos
I think Ken has lost his way....reviewing truck stop garages and crappy food - like he is in a Michelin star restaurant.
Looks great! Keep up the great work!
At a truck stop you do not " gas up ", you " fuel up ".
No, you "diesel up".
@@neyoid ... diesel is a FUEL = fuel up
Two Bubba's signature beef and bacon grind patties (half pound total weight) pressed and stacked with American cheese, fried egg, smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato and onion.
GREAT truck stop, just where was this, truckers will enjoy good truck stops should give this a 5 star record..
I live in Des Moines, IA Ken! Let me know if you need any good recommendations!!!
PS-I'd stop by and get a burger at B-bops!
Trust me, he watches every single one of your videos. He’s a big fan!!!
I live like 3 hours from Des Moines, zombie burger though
The best possible breakfast, is left over pizza from the night before! Keep it up man, greetings from Germany. :)
Da stimme ich dir zu !

Which and where is this truck stop u talking about..
@@byronhall391 the was the exact location .. flying j in Ayr Ontario.
You fired one out, though, right?
They're just trucker bros dude. Maybe they said no homo afterwards.
My favorite is home made tamales fried in butter on both sides, basted eggs, and beans with jalepeno,bacon,onion cilantro and serve with a tortilla. BOOM!
Cheap ass all excited for that free coffe lol
I’ll never understand the love for runny egg yolks
I didn't either until I got soft-boiled eggs in ramen and fried over-easy eggs in some other Asian rice dishes. Now I love them...except sunny side up is still too undercooked for me. I also still prefer my scrambled eggs not at all runny.
Dropped by the restaurant yesterday. It was great! Also told them about your video. They had no idea you did this. Thanks for the review!
I LOVE FLYING J TRUCK STOP THANK U KEN MERRY CHRISTMAS THERE IS SOMETHING PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH U IF U DISLIKE THIS GOOD VIDEO
Awesome video Ken!!
The Flying J here in London has one of the last rare Canadian Denny’s ! Lol mmmm
That is a prefect looking breakfast at 4:01!
Why does he do mhmmm after every bite it's my personal biggest pet peeve like it's not entirely necessary
Not hating jus curious

This place is like 10 mins from my house. The food is usually pretty good
Look s like a good truckers meal. Very satisfying
10:23 let's go back into the Golden Harvest Diner and see what they have for lunch... 14:52 I'm still kinda full from lunch...
What did I miss??
