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.
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!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
@@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 .
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
They're in Manitoba as well. The otr trucks operate under both Canadian and US federal government laws. The laws are synched. There's no reason for American owned companies not to operate north of the border. Cross border drivers know the brand and welcome it.
Hey Ken..can you do a video on the prep work you do before you fly your drone...I’m looking to get an advanced license....would be interested in hearing what you thought of the test as I’ve heard it’s difficult!
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.
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
I dated a truck driver and he would always go on about how massive it is , saying you could stop there and spend the day walking around and probably still not see it all . Can’t wait for your reaction to that one
Okay, if you ever want Heaven in a Breakfast Diner here's what to order. Corned Beef Hash topped with 2 Eggs fried Sunny Side up. Roast or Fried Potatoes topped with 2 Sunny Side up Eggs. Season both with Tabasco, a little bit of Salt and some ground black Pepper. Wash this down with some good strong Coffee.
1. Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo and fried potatoes; 2. Bacon and Blueberry Pancakes; 3. Toasted bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, fried potatoes and fruit du jour.

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
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.

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
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.
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.
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!!
Unfortunately,I'm not a trucker,but,I absolutely love and cherish small town diners and truckstop restaurants!
Right on

kind words my friend, cheers from Southwestern Ontario, stay safe.
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
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.
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
You should’ve reviewed the truck stop glory hole too
Lmao 😂

Do me a favour and visit Germany for the good food and great food communitys!
Try "Tony's" in Birchrun Michigan sometime, they have wicked a breakfast!
Biscuits and sausage gravy, best breakfast ever😝
Ontario is so crazy expensive!!! I am having sticker shock seeing these prices. Downtown MTL is cheaper!
Yup
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!!!
I know this doesn't sound like much to you all but i really like the sausage egg mcmuffin from McDonalds here

I’ve been telling him to go to Iowa he needs to go to the biggest truck stop in United States.
Keefster !
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

Breakfast & Lunch at a Canadian Truck Stop ☕🍔🍽 Flying J Travel Centre
KBDProductionsTV love louis shirley
Three fried eggs and steak and home fries and strawberry jam and toast.
I think Ken has lost his way....reviewing truck stop garages and crappy food - like he is in a Michelin star restaurant.
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 like the homestyle pan fried with onions is my potato choice..never tried them eggs..looked awesome.
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.
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?”
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.

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 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

I'd like to know the process of them cooking the poached egg that's close to perfect😮
Eggs benedict i just love them ,,,"ohh my" have with bacon aswell, i feel hungry now ,teasing it is.number one as usual.
two thumbs up with these style of reviews i like them fanstastic
When he came back for lunch they probably thought, him again😈😂
Ken, more truck stop videos please I love these kind of videos.
gotta come to Texas and try Buc-ee's its huge and the food is amazing
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.
My dad would have back handed me if I held the fork like that.
He is very polite and sweet, god blessed him
I’m a truck driver of 6yrs thx for posting vids of what we eat haha
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
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.
Something about truck stop coffee mugs always amazed me. Classic coffee mugs.
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.

The flannel makes me think you're auditioning to be on Letterkenny.
Letterkenny isn't far from Ayr, ON
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...👍🏴
Nice, but always remember,, trucks go to fueling stations not gas stations because trucks don’t run on gas.
Yummy 😋!
At a truck stop you do not " gas up ", you " fuel up ".
No, you "diesel up".
@@neyoid ... diesel is a FUEL = fuel up

Cheap ass all excited for that free coffe lol
I adore truck stops, they have everything you would ever need.
That is a prefect looking breakfast at 4:01!
Superb video
Should’ve got a side of hollandaise to dip the home fries
Crispy outer layer corned beef hash, two runny eggs with a splash of hot sauce. Black coffee!!
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!
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
I’ve never had an eggs Benedict before but that looked so good Ken
Drive, safe.sir.and.enjoy.your.food
I love biscuits and gravy but this would be great I love this but not to many places have this great looking place.
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
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.
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
You can’t Beat a Full English Breakfast..... it’s awesome..... 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I used to live right near the Flying J and I would walk down there and order my breakfast
Sorry Ken but Flying J is American...look it up
They're in Manitoba as well. The otr trucks operate under both Canadian and US federal government laws. The laws are synched. There's no reason for American owned companies not to operate north of the border. Cross border drivers know the brand and welcome it.
HEY MAN, GREAT VIDEO!!!! HAM AND EGGS FOR SURE FOR ME!!! AND NOT THAT LUNCH MEAT HAM! THE THICK CUT STEAK STYLE HAM!!
you shouldnt ALWAYS add salt, you should try it then decide...... your heart will thank you
Hey Ken..can you do a video on the prep work you do before you fly your drone...I’m looking to get an advanced license....would be interested in hearing what you thought of the test as I’ve heard it’s difficult!
Also...how did you find the registration process for your drone as it’s over 250g? Did you go with the advance license or the basic license?
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.
full english breakfast is my choice : hash browns, bacon, sausages, fried eggs , baked beans, tomatoes , black pudding , mushrooms and slice of toast
Hope you're having an awesome day this is my favorite video love watching your videos
Thank you. You are such a natural person, saying the things that no one else ever says. I love how you enjoy eating. 😃
This place is like 10 mins from my house. The food is usually pretty good
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 👍🏻
2 eggs over medium, crispy hash browns, 4 strips bacon and real rye toast w/butter... Black coffee. ☕
This episode immediately gave me Food Network/Travel Channel vibes. Nice work. 🤙🏼
I wish the truck stops in the USA had dinners like that.
Everything I see at a Flying J/ pilot is gross.
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
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
GREAT truck stop, just where was this, truckers will enjoy good truck stops should give this a 5 star record..
Italian dressing, Orange french and hidden valley ranch.
Alphonse Capone was nicknamed Scarface
Chipped beef 🍖 on toast is my favorite. Love your videos!
I dated a truck driver and he would always go on about how massive it is , saying you could stop there and spend the day walking around and probably still not see it all . Can’t wait for your reaction to that one
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
The eggs benedict and the home fries were to die for.
Okay, if you ever want Heaven in a Breakfast Diner here's what to order.
Corned Beef Hash topped with 2 Eggs fried Sunny Side up.
Roast or Fried Potatoes topped with 2 Sunny Side up Eggs.
Season both with Tabasco, a little bit of Salt and some ground black Pepper.
Wash this down with some good strong Coffee.

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??
They have tasquitos
1. Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo and fried potatoes; 2. Bacon and Blueberry Pancakes; 3. Toasted bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, fried potatoes and fruit du jour.
My go to breakfast is biscuits and gravy with a sunnyside egg and some cholula hot sauce on top of the egg and over the gravy.
The Flying J here in London has one of the last rare Canadian Denny’s ! Lol mmmm

I love a runny egg served on top of a pancake, no syrup or butter on it.
My favorite breakfast.... bacon eggs over easy sourdough toast and hash browns. Make a sandwich with the toast and drizzle it with tabasco hot sauce
