For the jerky you should buy it from the jerky bar rather than pre-packaged.
Jerky is supposed be as tuff as leather people used to do things to make it harder. fore some reason people started making cheep easy and tender . spending less time smoking and drying the meat and using tender meat .if it is easy to eat it is not real jerky. Buc-ee's jerky is not as good as what you could buy years ago. but its far better than the over priced stuff .
Ya I totally agree. I wish Sam just would of told us the stores and did a poll on a post we could just told him the top 10 things to try for all of the food spots
The Cherry Maple Jerky they have is prob the most chewy one they have
Needed to go to the jerky deli counter to get better jerky choices and can sample in advance.
The smoked pork loin is my favorite although isnt dry jerky
The bakery also has fresh kolaches (sweet or savory).
Surprised y'all resisted buying the fresh candied nuts or fudge
in america no one wants to pay like 899 for a brisket sandwich.. let alone 5... never been too bukies but never wanna go... sorry i dont wanna pay 60 bucks for a bag of beef jerkey! its not local its just mass produced bought out by other cheap texas companies! texas sucks oklahoma is way way better! I would argue downtown tulsa has better food then all of texas combined... just dont get bbq bbq is best in misourri though... best asian fusion best seafood and best value ... like even sushi is cheap here because of competition...
FRESH BRISKET ON THE BOARD! ❤️
(Repeats back) FRESH BRISKET ON THE BOARD!
Yeah I recommend not the sandwiches.. just get the meat.
Definitely one of the top two channels on UA-cam. The other being Atlanta's Kitchen, obviously.
You guys always cheer me up. I think it's just amazing what you are doing - giving your kids all of these unique life experiences. You can give people 'stuff' and it can be lost or taken away, but you can't really ever remove an experience. It's a forever gift.
Perfect finish to the evening, seeing a New Zealand Family video pop up!
OMG! DYING laughing! 12:39 Everything from Atlanta's preference for crunchy salt to "she's a psycho", "she's salty anyway", THE LAUGH!, "don't include that" and "sounds like some sort of zoo animal" I agree Sam by the way. Maybe the call of the looney bird? 🤣🤣🤣
It's like déjà vu with my family. We have goofy reactions with each other like this all the time! 😅😅😅 This part of the video just made me feel so happy & connected with your family, it's ridiculous. Lol
Yessss loved that part
Justice for the buccees beeef jerky you have to get the counter beeef jerky not the packaged because behind the counter is ELITE! Love the videos!
It's the exact same Jerky in the bag as behind the counter. It's all made by New Braunfels Smokehouse in TX.
It honestly takes me twice as long to watch this 20 minute video because I pause to comment so much. I'm really not one for commenting a lot during other videos from other channels but I do with yours. I think it's because of the honest engagement you have with your viewers & fans. Anytime I see a new episode notification, I know I'm in for a treat.
"That texture like makes me violent" 😂😂 Who would have known that dried fruit turns Sam into Homelander?
Nadine’s squawking laughter and Denzi’s random asthmatic burst of laughter has me cracking me up!! 🤣🤣🤣
My absolute favorite from Buc-ee's is their 3 meat sandwich - brisket, sausage, and smoked turkey O... M ... G! I LOVE BUC-EE'S!
If you got the jerky from the counter you would of enjoyed it a whole lot more and the best thing at bucees is the candied pecans. Must be from the counter also because they are warm 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Have y'all ever tried Cracker Jack? Caramel popcorn and peanuts. It is absolutely delicious. One of my favorite treats when I was a kid. And as an adult. It used to come with a prize. A toy in the box but I think now, all you get is a piece of paper with a joke. Even so it's still one of my favorite snacks.
You missed the cinnamon rolls?! 30 seconds in the microwave ... life changing!
The Cherry Maple jerky is the most flavorful to me, but the Bohemian Garlic is their best seller. 🤠
I KNEW EXACTLY what you guys had done with the banana pudding because the same thing happened to me! I drove an hour to get to Buccees, grabbed my pudding, headed to my car, was about to crack into it and THANK GOD I read the label because I absolutely haaaaaaatttteeee coconut!!! I ran back in, and they were super nice and let me swap it for the banana I wanted because I hadn't opened it yet!
This was a fun episode and I really enjoyed myself. I really look forward to every notification for new episodes!
I love the banana pudding at bucees.This channel is awesome.
Their laugh sounded like they just summoned their inner crow 😂
You guys are AWESOME! Looks like you're having alot of fun ❤
Chicken ceaser salad wrap is hands down my fav thing from bucees!
I agree with Atlanta. If I have salted caramel on anything I like to actually see the crystals of the sea salt. I like when they crunch and give little bursts of salty flavor along with sweetness of the caramel.
I like barbecue sauce with my ribs (brushed on while smoking) and pulled pork. I don't ever have sauce with my brisket because when done right, it's moist & juicy enough on its own and any barbecue sauce takes away from the smokey flavor of the long nine hour cooktime.
😊weeeee the next part of your adventure. Good times.😊
Have been waiting for this one! As a Canadian I was equally desperate to try Buc-ee's for the first time and definitely have the merch to go with it 😂 FRESHHH BRISKET ON THE BOARDDDD!
Awesome video I love to watch your guys’s videos they bring me a bunch of joy and a smile to my face nice video!
For all the gf people, Buc-ee's has a good list of gf foods. Snacks include Corn-ee Chips, Nug-ees, popcorn and various nuts. They offer gluten-free meals like a Grilled Chicken Salad, BBQ Brisket Plate, and a Turkey Bacon Wrap. Side options include mashed potatoes and Beaver chips.
For beverages, you can enjoy fountain sodas, fruit flavors, and lemonade. They also provide packaged items like Sargento cheese and rice crackers. Don’t miss dessert options like gluten-free cookies, brownies, and pecan pralines and 3 flavors of fudge.
2:46 As I used to hear when I was younger, Sam is gonna make a happy plate! Lol
As a native San Antonio resident, there are two Buc-ees that are on highway I-35, one in San Marcos and one in Temple, TX. I highly recommend getting both the sliced and the chopped brisket sandwiches and the fresh jerky at the counter is better than pre-packaged ones. Again welcome to Texas and wish I could have met yall while you were here 🤠
I grew up in a small town in California and it was famous for their beef jerkey. Raven Brand Jerkey & Deli. They produce what I would call “cowboy style” jerkey and it is what I grew up with. I have never been a huge fan of the wet style jerkey but hey thats just me. Any hoo. Great video and some day I will visit a Buc-ees👊
Thanks!
Hello New Zealand Family.
Oooooh! The crunchy sound from those nuggets! They sound delicious! They remind me of something I used to have when I was a kid. Corn nuts. Very hard, crunchy puffed corn with a little bit of caramel.
Real beef jerky is suppose to be like chewing leather. It is a survival food. Cowboys and ranchers would work all day outdoor, and take a bite of jerky that they would chew for ten minutes creating flavored saliva to help with hunger till they camp or returned home for dinner.
I like both kinds of jerky. The softer more tender jerky is good for immediate satisfaction. The hard leathery jerky is good if you're walking the trail and have time to enjoy it. If you cut the meat with the grain, it will be tougher but if you cut it across the grain , you'll end up with a more tender jerky.
"We drove 3 hours round trip to go to Buc-ees". Now you are on a Texas road trip!! It is not unusual for me and friends to drive 4 hours one way to San Antonio or to cross the border at Del Rio into Acuna, Mexico, for a Saturday lunch!
The cheesesteak burrito is my favorite thing from Bucees
*I just discovered that a new Buc-ee's* will be built just two hours from my house and another new Buc-ee's will be built just 20 minutes from my home. LOL! 😅
They are both going to be absolutely massive, too. Both are set to be the largest size of store Buc-ee's builds. According to Buc-ee's they will be just as big and fancy as any of the Texas locations.
Both locations will sport 120 gas pumps. 🙂
New Buc-ee's locations will be 74,000 sq ft. The largest one in Luling TX is 75,000 sq ft, and will be the largest for quite some time. I've been tracking the store growth.
Yeah, but there is no difference between a 74,000- and 75,000-square-foot location. They are the same size store. The new locations will feature the largest sales floor Buc-ee's offers. Also, these stores usually grow slightly before they are built. The one location has grown twice since it was first planned.
So, any tiny measurable difference between all of these stores is likely just to accommodate the loading dock areas, door entryways, mechanical rooms, etc.
However, any public area will be the same size since it will have the largest sales floor plan. Buc-ee's has already flirted with one of these locations as the so-called "Largest" Buc-ee's regardless.
Another example is that there's no difference between Meijer stores here. They are all basically identical. The only minor differences are due to door entryways, as they differ ever so slightly, and some differ in how they do the Starbucks/bank area in the front of the store. But they all mostly hover around 192,000+ sq ft. The shopping experience is the exact same.
What will be funny, though, is that the one Buc-ee's will be close to Chicago.
You can visit the largest class of Buc-ee's, the nation's largest, dedicated grocery store, and the largest McDonald's and the world's largest Starbucks, all within a very short distance. My area is full of goofy record-breakers 😅
@@GalaxyFur Luling grew twice before Sevierville was the first 74K store, making it the largest. A new building was made in Luling, next to the old one. When the new building opened, the old one was demolished. But this is a topic for a dedicated Buc-ee's group.
@scottlyttle5586 Cool! Yeah, I know this will be the most extensive floor plan they build, regarding what is available to the public.
It's just cool that I will have two different locations that will be very close to where I am. I know final designs haven't been solidified yet. Both local towns are still negotiating the plans and how road infrastructure will interact with them.
You guys crack me up !!!! I love your family !!!!
When I traveled to Texas, I loved Rosa's Cafe. Chicken or Steak fajitas meal at drive through was an awesome quick dinner.
Rosa's is our favorite!! Really miss it.
It's pretty good for fast food Tex-Mex...
@@LoriL010 It's great for a drive thru. Wish it was in the northeast but I like chipotle so no big deal.
Y’all are some very few people I’ve seen or even talk to in person or seen on UA-cam that didn’t like the jerky
I love Bucees❤️We are getting ours in 2026 just 5 miles from me in NC🎉🎊My favorite is Pie in a cup (coconut cream) and Beaver Twists white fudge, pretty much a bugle covered in chocolate and breakfast burrito ❤️🙌
I have had banana pudding with coconut and pineapple and it is served warm with meringue on top. Very good. Taste like a tropical dessert.
The proper way to eat banana pudding with meringue is when it’s still warm from the oven.
That's why you get chopped brisket at buc-ee's because the sauce surrounds the meat a whole lot better than sliced
I’ve never had good chopped brisket. Good brisket doesn’t need sauce or to be minced up.
@zepptar I've never had it good sliced. Usually it's dry. But I rarely order it sliced anyway so idk
I like the sliced brisket because I can sink my teeth into it and get a nice mouthful of meat, where I feel I get less brisket when it comes to the chopped brisket.
@@scottlyttle5586 I can see that.
Their breakfast is really good too.
I make my own jerky. My favorites are my venison jerky and my beefalo (a cross between cow and bison) and my ex wife's peppered beef jerky. She also makes a delicious teriyaki beef jerky and a garlic & onion infused beef jerky. I make a homemade marinade. Soy sauce, a LITTLE brown sugar, a VERY LITTLE (it's a very strong flavor) toasted sesame oil and a bit of liquid smoke. It works well with the venison and the beefalo. Marinade the meat for 4-6 hours and then wrap it in a paper towel and squeeze until the excess is absorbed by the towel. Let it dry out in the fridge for about six hours and then put it in the dehydrator. And for those who've never tried it, beefalo tastes like beef but it has a more wild game flavor.
How long does the whole process take before you eat it?
@ct6852 If you use a dehydrator, follow the directions. If you don't have a dehydrator, if it's sliced thin, in the oven at 200 F for 4 hrs. Turn off the oven and wait until it's cool. Take it out and enjoy. If it's sliced a little thicker, give it an extra hour before you turn off the oven.
All ovens are different so check on it after about 3 hrs. It should feel dry before you turn off the oven.
Good Morning My New Zealand Family. It is 03:20 here in St. Louis. Always a pleasant experience to watch your videos!
There banana pudding is really good I also like the roasted pecans and PB fudge I have a buc-ee's 15 mins from me Cheers
Awesome 👌 👏 👍 love buc--ees brisket and nuggets lol 😆
Once food makes contact with any piece of furniture in a hotel room, it's inedible. Rest assured, things have been done on every piece of furniture and fluids have flown. You're gambling if you eat something that touches the surfaces of a hotel room.
This is truth. My wife brings Clorox wipes and the place gets a cleaning and the tv remote immediately goes in a ziploc bag 😂
When the video started, I thought the beaver was an animation you added and I wondered where Denzel was, then he raised his head. And I loved Nadine's animal noise!
My favorite was Denzel eating dad and mom screaming for joy!😂
Buc-ee’s has a Professional BBQ Chef!! (He has won many awards)
Yes!!.I have been anxiously awaiting this video. ❤
Wrong dad, their banana pudding is incredible!
Your New Zealand Family - Eating their way across America. :)
Nuggets taste like pancakes and Maple syrup. For the best store-bought jerky and bar-b-cue sauce, you can't beat "Sweet Baby Rays". The jerky is tender and delicious!
I agree with Sam about coconut 💯
Morning awesome memories for the family.
Live you guys
❤ from Oahu Hawaii! Come to Hawaii
So nice to know that normal families exist,good on ya
Sam's broken heart at realizing he should have bought a bottle of the barbecue sauce💔
How many countries get gas atation reviews ?? This cracks me up everytime because its just normal for us 😊
I love the direction your channel has gone, the videos keep getting better with every upload. I do miss the unboxing videos you used to do, and hope to see some here and there in the future.
The brisket, pulled pork and beaver nuggets are my go to.
Fresh Brisket On The Board!!!! Fresh Brisket On The Board!!!! love it guys from Australia we have few places that do American bbq foods etc here
Fun video. Having been to several Buc-ee's, I was immediately thinking why that particular Buc-ee's put coconut in their banana pudding - until the mystery was solved. I think you would have liked their banana pudding. For me, the 1 hour trip from where I live is worth it just for the pulled pork and brisket sandwiches.
I’m a fortunate guy. I travel by car many times for Orlando up I-95 to Philadelphia and on my way I have three Buckys. I can stop by and do whatever I wanna do just enjoy the environment. And they’re building another one on I-95! Glad that you were able to experience this family.My personal treat is to look for new Bucky button up shirts for the season.
Denzel with his head down eating, all you see is a squirrel! I love his hoodie/jumper.
Beaver
I cackled when Denzel "gnawed on" Sam's arm!
You guys do a great job!
one of my favorite families reviewing my favorite sandwich: the Bucees club melt. glad you loved it! I’ve enjoyed your American adventures. much love from Roanoke, Virginia USA
Been waiting on this video forever.. but I have to pause, I haven't had breakfast yet😂
You gotta buy the jerky at the jerky counter! Start with terriyaki, my favorite!
Always amazing when I watch My New Zealand Family sugar out!
That costume is so cute! Denzel rocks it.
If yall go back in the future, get the bacon or sausage egg and cheese breakfast taco (don't forget to get the salsa cup to go with it), get the cinnamon roll with pecans, get the cotton candy mints in the tin, and they have chocolate chip and sugar cookie dough that you can eat raw and its so good!
Come back to Seattle would love to show you the real beauty of the pnw outside the city!!!
You guys have such a fun family. I wish my kids would try different foods.
That Buc-ee's hoodie!
Oh, it's PJs!
Jerky is meant to last a long time. Get the jerky from the window. It is so fresh.
Hello from Loveland Colorado. So that means you visited the Johnstown Buc-ee's in Colorado is 74k square feet. As of right now that's the largest one @ 75.000 square feet in Luling , Tx. Try the Beaver Nuggets with milk.
Been to Buc-ee’s many times but never tried the jerky. Thanks for the heads up. Y’all should have tried the Kolaches. My favorite is definitely the brisket sandwiches.
The club melt is my favorite! But all the sandwiches are awesome! I love buccees!!!
It’s always a treat when yall eat sweets. Sugar high!!!
Midnight Buc-ee's on a long road trip hits different, my go to is 2 Sliced Brisket sandwiches, Pecan Brittle, and a Root beer
The chopped bbq sandwich is top tier!
There are really only a few types of dried fruit that I like. Dehydrated apple and banana chips and dried cherries, cranberries... and raisins, of course.
Tops Bar-B-Q
in Memphis Tennessee
IS the best pulled pork sandwich EVER!
I agree!
There’s a professional chef y’all might’ve seen him so older black guy he does homemade barbecue he’s a barbecue master and he actually start making his own barbecue sauce and started buying Buckys barbecue and I have a culinary degree and I was like no way and then I bought a bottle of Buckys barbecue sauce is amazing
I live in Arizona now but when we lived in Florida we would go to the Buccee's on Interstate 20 in Terrell, Texas. Now there is a new Buccee's in the very town we once lived in there in Florida! I love the place. So fun to shop in the store and eat various snacks. Of course the main purpose is to fuel the car but shopping there is a lot of fun!
What's up new Zealand family. I live in San Marcos,TX they are going too start the foundation for a new bucees her in san marcos. They were supposed too start in October of last year but postponed the date. Love you videos and the love you show too the us and ESPECIALLY texas.
My little boy has the same buccee pjs, and loves them.
We have a buccees about 70 miles away, anytime we go that direction it’s a guaranteed stop.
Yall only spent a few hours in Buccee's? Yall have more self-control than most Texans! Good call on the beaver nuggets.
Edit: Forgot to mention, the founder of Buccee's is an alumni of my university, and they're big supporters of our athlete NIL fund. So, thanks for supporting Texas A&M athletics! Gig 'Em!
Are Buccee's something that's in or near the cities? Or are they out by truck stops?
I currently live in the north east and there are no buc-ees but am moving to Florida in a month and there is one about an hour away I can’t wait to get there myself
Buc-Ee's actually known for their jerkey but you should get it from the fresh dely like area.
By the way love those spurs shorts old school original colors and logo. Wemby has been killing it.
Brave man Sam, eating that chicken burrito without a plate underneath you? 😂 I'm not sure if this is a saying in New Zealand but you're going HAM on that chicken burrito! LMAO Basically it means that there's gonna be nothing but fond memories left when you're done.
I love my Buc'ees!!!!
You should've done your taste test outside Buc-ee's so you could go back in and get more of the things you really loved.
