  • Welcome to Day Two of Mr H and friends' Texan adventure! After a long journey, we're starving and in need of some fuel, both for ourselves and our car is running on empty. What better place to satisfy our cravings and gas up than at Buc-ee's, the largest gas station in the world?
    In today's vlog, join us as we take a leisurely stroll through the wonderland that is Buc-ee's. We'll be diving into a mouthwatering taste test session of some Texan delicacies, including a Brisket Sandwich, Cinnamon Glazed Pecans, Sausage on a stick, and Peppered Beef Jerky. It wouldn't be a true Texas experience without sipping on a refreshing Traditional Texas Dr Pepper and indulging in some Banana Pudding.
    But the surprises don't end there! Mr H will be sharing his shock when he comes face to face with something quite unusual for a Brit: the distinctive colors of American gas pumps. It's safe to say that they look quite different from what we're used to back in the UK!
    So, if you're curious about Buc-ee's, intrigued by Texas cuisine, or just want to see Mr H's reaction to those colorful gas pumps, don't miss this exciting vlog. Like, subscribe, and hit that notification bell to join us on this Texan journey. See you there!

    Don't worry about using the wrong type of gas pump (Diesel). The diameter of the Diesel pump is larger than regular gas. So if you accidently grabbed the diesel pump, it wouldn't physically fit into the gas tank hole as it would be too large around.

    I am a native Texan who was moved to another state in her youth. Bless my parents for moving me to the place where I met my husband, and other half of my flesh, but dang it I missed out on Buc-ee's... Now, my poor husband has to take me all the way to Texas just so we can visit this obvious alternative for Walmart. We'll go to see my family, but that banana pudding is my true intention for a visit!! 🤣🤣

    Fun fact! You don't even need to go to Texas anymore to get the full Buc-ee's experience. They are being built all across the U.S. now. And they're basically all the same general size for the most part. Even here in Wisconsin, near my place, they are set to build a massive one with 120 gas pumps. So look up Buc-ee's locations, as there may be one not far from you. So no need to travel all the way to Texas if that's the main reason you're traveling there, to begin with. I know some folks have traveled all the way there to experience a Buc-ee's.
    And if you are ever traveling through Iowa check out the world's largest truck stop. The Iowa 80 truck stop is really cool to check out.

      I can see why Brits visit Texas. Texas has a lot of BBQ and a little of everything else. You can get a "visit America" experience in one shot.
      Yes there are differences in the various states, but the Brits might not know what to look form and that can become an awful lot of driving around. Especially for Brits.
      To an American, 100 years is a long time. To a Brit, 100 miles is a long trip.
      They don't need to be driving to Las Vegas or Atlanta the whole way from Texas. That would be brutal.

    The most under-appreciated thing at Buc-ee’s is the jalapeño/cheese summer sausage. Packaged slices in those circular refrigerated cases, and whole sausage rolls available by the fresh jerky counter. Really delicious and a good gluten-free low carb thing.

    Update on largest Buckees.....but First I truly enjoy seeing your family vlogs. . Your daughter is absolutely the most precious little thing I've ever seen. I hope my brand new granddaughter grows up to be half as cute and fun as Alanna (sorry if I messed up the spelling).
    As of June of this year the largest Buc-ee's is now located in Sevierville Tennessee. I'm not at all surprised they put it here. It's a new exit where you can get off of interstate 40, before you cross the Appalachian Mountains to the east.
    Sevierville Tennessee is where country idol Dolly Parton hails from.
    It's near Dolly's her very fun theme park, Dollywood, and also very close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited of all the national parks every year.
    It's that traffic, I'm sure that made Buc-ee's choose this location.
    I stopped by there on my way to visit my daughter in North Carolina from my home in Nashville, TN, this past August. There were plenty of pumps. available but I didn't need gas The parking lot was completely filled, so I took a picture, waved at it and kept going. 😊

I had the extreme pleasure of a trip to Atlanta, and got to hit the Buc-ee’s in Warner-Robbins. There are plans for 2 more opening in the Ocala area, and the west coast St. Pete area. I will have to makeup reasons to go to them 😂

    Beaver Nuggets rule!
    Now that you've seen all those pumps. I want you to imagine all of them full and waiting in line to get a pump. That is what the Buc-ees in Madisonville, on I-45 between Houston and DFW, is like on the day before Thanksgiving. We need all those gas pumps, lol.
    There are little Buc'ees too. If you had gone down into Lake Jackson (south/southwest of Houston) where Buc-ee's started, you'd find little Buc-ee's. These are like regular gas station/convenience markets, but with super clean bathrooms. My first Buc-ee's experience was the one on TX 332, heading over to Surfside Beach. I remember walking past the bait case (fishing is huge there) into these amazing bathrooms. My traveling companion bought Beaver Nuggets because she thought the name was funny. We ate those things so fast, that the relentless Gulf Coast humidity didn't even get a chance to make them soggy.

    Glad to see y'all enjoyed Buc-ee's! If you would have come to the one near me in Katy, TX you could have driven through the world's longest car wash . For those who don't know, there is a saying here, "Everything is bigger in Texas." If you thought that Buc-ee's BBQ was good, you need to visit some of the top 50 BBQ joints in the state. We have a magazine (Texas Monthly) that puts together a list every year of the top 50 BBQ places in the state. They even have the "Top 50 BBQ Joints Passport". You take this passport to each of the restaurants and they stamp it. Yeti was a sponsor in the past (I'm not sure if they still are). If you filled your passport book, you would get a lot of Yeti merchandise "for free" (minus the cost of the all of the great BBQ). Texas is a huge state so if you're doing the BBQ Passport, you better plan on staying a while and driving A LOT of miles.
