Americans get excited about 7-Eleven food overseas because it's superior to what 7-Elevens typically offer here in the U.S. Just like McDonald's, one can only assume that 7-Eleven/Southland Corporation figures Americans aren't picky and will eat whatever swill they choose to sell, but customers in other countries have better palates and are more discriminating in their food choices. (Not to mention stricter food laws that often result in better product offerings.)

You should try a 7/11 in the outer suburbs. You can get a dried out pie and meet the local meth dealer in the carpark.

Come to the US and we our convenience stores. You'll understand.
i was also kinda baffled by the 7 11 review but by the end i actually really like the appreciation for food shown. it's not the greatest food but it's still food and deserves some appreciation and respect. it's still nourishing and accessible. obviously a lot of ppl eat it and find it appealing, that shouldn't be looked down on just bc there's better food.
Melba is definitely the best buffet in Melbourne. Having said that, after living here for 20+ years, the buffet scene is super underwhelming compared to cities like Vegas, HK, Singapore, and South Korea. It's the reason I started watching Mike Chen in the first place, because he goes to buffets which are just spectacular compared to anything we have here.
Mike successfully making the transition from ketchup to tomato sauce 😁👍

As you must in these here parts. Ketchup won’t do
Im from melbourne, 7 11 is only an option at 4am at night when nothing else is open and you semi expect to get sick from it too
Most Australians don't eat 7/11 unless you need a slushie
That buffet after the 7 eleven… the seafood section and the meat section…. I don’t know if I’ve ever been more jealous… who am I kidding, I’m always jealous of the things you eat
7 eleven in australia? Nobody goes there for food. It aint cheap either. Maybe for cheap coffee

Glad to see you in Melbourne. We have some pretty amazing food! enjoy
Good to see you in Melbourne, been a huge fan of yours for years! With all due respect 7-11 food is absolutely trash here and overpriced, not even remotely comparable to the quality throughout Asia. I would suggest food from Woolworths Metro if you're looking for something close to decent convenience store level food. If you're still in Melbourne check out Glen Waverley, Clayton, Springvale and Box Hill for Asian cuisine, Box Hill especially has a lot of Xi'an restaurants. I see you're heading up to Sydney too, heaps of good Asian food there especially in the CBD around Haymarket area. If you visit the suburbs make sure to check out Burwood, Cabramatta, Strathfield, Eastwood and Chatswood there.

Muscle Chef meals are not exclusive to 7Eleven, thank goodness! They are available in loads of different supermarkets and even as a direct meal delivery service. Definitely rate them for taste!
Hi Mike Thank you for sharing.
@18:00 we have amazing pasta here as there are a lot of Italian migrants here from when they lost the last world war to us. They have been great additions to our country and refer to themselves as “wogs”. If you meet some be sure to recognise their accomplishments by saying “gday, how’s the day treating you my wog mate?”

Hi Mike, welcome to Australia! Make sure to try El Jannah when you come to Sydney! Best charcoal chicken and garlic sauce!
Going to one of the best foodie cities in Australia and eating at 7/11 😂😂
Because were so multicultural we have such a great range of fresh quality food and restaurants
You stayed at my favourite hotel in Melbourne! I actually recognised the 7 11 😂
Hope you enjoy yourself here in New Zealand!
Love your content Mike! 😊😊😊❤❤
Next time you come to Australia you must go over to Western Australia. So much good food over there and down south more Margeret River for some good wine!
I just subscribed to your channel. I'm from Australia.
That mint jelly was definitely out of a tub trust me😅
as an aussie that is really protective of our food culture i thank you for respecting our culture because when ben dean came to Australia he did not respect our food culture at all
Fluffy eggs dont have anything to do with the eggs itself...its how theyre prepared... scramble some water in with your eggs & cook them in butter while scraping them to the middle to let the remaining uncooked eggs cook.. repeat & super light & fluffy eggs!
The 7/11 roast beef on rye is probably the best 👌
I'm full and happy now. 😊 Great job, Mike! 😁💯👋🏼
Mike's eating my work lunches~! He's missing out not getting the wraps
very delicious
In the UK we love apple sauce with pork. Yum
Well your trip to Aussie can only improve after starting with a 7elevyn - I am so pleased you are going to tassie. Australia is much more than Melbourne and Sydney and Tassie is beautiful
Apple sauce is good with light meats and cranberry sauce is good with dark meats.
i want some chicken and beef pie! omg that buffet look so good! that pork belly!!
Welcome to Melbourne. Hope you get to check out more of our amazing food.
Awesome to see you here in Melbourne hope you enjoy Australia 😊
Aw man! I would love to show you around New Zealand! Love your content
I always peel the crusts off my 7-eleven sandwiches and my two favourites are either chicken and avocado or the peri peri chicken that you had. Their sausage rolls are not the best but their meat pies are pretty good
Welcome to Australia Mike!
Omg if your in New Zealand try the meet pies!
that garlic chilli cheese naan looks to die for oh my god
did you go to the buffet weekend or weekday because I'd like to know if same menu weekend vs weekday

After 7/11 in Japan, I couldn't eat from another Australian 7/11 again LOL
Nothing more Aussie than a cheeky little meat pie and some tom sauce
Happy you Liked us Aussies
7/11 is getting better every time and now it has changed hands to its mother chain, it will get even better, i always get my iced coffee and pie for breakfast when i take my son to school,
