Years ago, I did a phone survey for 7-Eleven. At the end of the survey, I was asked if there was anything I'd like to see at 7-Eleven. I replied that here in California, many convenient stores will grill tri tips in the parking lot. They would use the meat for tacos and sandwiches. The surveyor replied, "That sounds good. What's a tri tip?" I'm glad to see you can get a taco or barbacoa burrito at a nearby 7-Eleven.

There's one major aspect of Asian 7-11s they're still missing, and it's not really their fault. America (and Canada) has a mega-sprawl problem, everything is so spread out, you have to drive everywhere, and half the land is occupied by parking space. I love the accessibility of having the storefront right on the sidewalk, and dense cities are so much better for someone like me who has medical reasons to not drive or walk super far just to get some snacks. So, good start, but they'll never capture the magic of true convenience.

In Austin (Texas) we have a popular convenience store chain called Royal Blue. They don’t have parking at any of their locations. They’re located in the most walkable zip code in the state. Great spot to grab a quick bite to eat and enjoy a beer The only sad thing is they aren’t open 24/7, but there’s a 24 hour 7/11 next door by one of their locations lol
Mike you were spot on with the X-Men joke lol X-Men: Evolution was a good animated show from my childhood.
christine really really knows what she's doin... the finess and ease of her movement when grabbin dem foods lol
I love how wholesome the video comments have gotten. We've gotten so used to great food and travelling videos that all now we care about is Mike's well being and relationships.
When Christine said to put the pork rinds on the enchilada-true love. ❤️
I feel every time I want to watch some cozy Mikey Chen 7 eleven journeys I look it up and find a new video has just gone up and my day is just immediately a little brighter. Seeing as this is Texas, I'd imagine it would have to have a decent 7 eleven and I hope the rest of the stores start to somewhat catch up to asia's standards soon. Especially if we get to see Mike feast at every single one he can reach!
I think it's amazing that the American 7-eleven brand can be so good from embodying western cuisine without trying to be like the Asian 7-elevens.
I’m going to tell my children about Mike Chen getting me through the pandemic. Stuff of legend.

In my opinion I always thought Racetrac and WaWa were really good at upping the convenience store aspect of gas stations in the US. There's actually a BuC cees here in FL now too. It's cool to see slowly America is adopting more and more asian culture in grocery stores and latter. Mikey thank you for your videos and honest reviews of all these amazing places. Thanks to you, I created the channel Latin Chopsticks because your videos inspired me this past year through such tough times during a global pandemic. You helped me start a journey to make my life long dream true. I hope my channel keeps on growing and to one day be able to meet with you and sit down to have a meal together. Thank you!

When we're in Asian countries we go to 7Eleven multiple times a day when we're walking around for drinks, snacks, quick lunches and to stock our hotel rooms with drinks and snacks. At home in the US I go once every few/several years and only for a slurpee and that's it. I agree with you Mike, if they were like the one you went to we'd go regularly.
Watching you slice up that pizza with a butter knife was the highlight of the video lol
Laredo Taco was acquired when 7-11 bought Stripes a few years ago. The tacos are solid, especially during breakfast..

The ones I usually visited there were tiny stores but as a kid, I thought everything was cool. It's great to see US has cool 7-Eleven now...love the drink choices!! Not sure if Canada has one like that.
Her chipped nails are so relatable 😊. Not many of us go around with perfectly manicured nails in our day-to-day ordinary living. We don't have the time or the inclination to run to the nearest nail salon every time our manicures chip. We just let it go. I love her already.

Having grown up with Laredo Taco CO. tacos most of my life down near the southern border of Texas, it is my opinion that their breakfast tacos are far superior to their lunch/dinner tacos. Most of the lunch/dinner options are too dry, like you experienced and really need some type of sauce/salsa to make it palatable.

I remember when I first left home and went to San Diego, CA the 7/11's were so different in 1976. You could walk in and have a fresh made sandwich. Choice of breads and fillings. It was amazingly good and cheap. We have a Laredo Company 7/11 here now and the breakfast tacos are the bomb. So good. But the Eva lotion must be invention of who ever owes those particular stores. I would love to try it.
