Javier's was apologetic for a second when you asked "is that a chicken neck ?". Then he was relieved when you said "I love chicken necks". I hope I'll never find a chicken neck in my fried chicken ! Good video as always thanks !

Mike! I'm Korean and my family make fun of me ALL THE TIME for liking country music!!! As soon as you said you were the only asian who likes country music, I started laughing SO hard because I always thought I was the only one! Glad to know another fellow asian loves country music :D Keep up the great videos! Big fan :)

I'm not Asian but... I don't like country music
IDK why but mikey's road trip videos appear to be my all-time favorite on this channel. Been rewatching them so many times.

Mike is like Canada.... Nobody has a problem with him
For me, long drives are best with cold, ripe grapes. They are juicy, have a nice pop to them, the sugar helps you stay alert and you're inadvertently eating something healthy. Also grapes don't make a mess like strawberries, blackberries, etc. and make sure they are seedless so you're not fighting with them either.

yeeisme to many piss stops eating grapes.. might as well be eating watermelon. ... lol
I work in Franklin, TN! peg leg porker is one of my favorite BBQ places. great wings and fried pies!
Hey...Kansas has lots of good things. Beautiful Sunflower fields, sunsets to die for....fields of windmills and more
Another Asian here who loves country music! You are not alone!
I worked at the 82 World Fair in the China Pavilion , I was 17 at the time so much fun I live in Ohio now and loved seeing your video going threw my home town and I was born in Nashville so again thank you ..
wow I have family in Knoxville and I go there every few years! This is taking me back. Btw I love your videos Mikey! You are an amazing person as well and you are so entertaining. Never change.
Thank you for sharing your road trip. Great vid!
Wow!!!! Knoxville!!! I'm here right now.
I grew up in KC and my grandmother lived in SW Kansas. As kids we use to count the working oil pumps. Last time I drove there it was 13-14 years ago and I got Fire Jolly ranchers to keep me awake. It worked. As you go west, the states take longer and longer to go through depending on the route. It's funny the stuff we remember when we were kids. Safe travels if you aren't there already.
Next time you're in that area - check out Biscuitville. I was a little hesitant. Now I want to drive 6 hours just to head to a Biscuitville. Incredible. Amazing. Delicious. Well worth the trip.
That sparkly thing is the sun sphere 😂😂 & literally 5 minutes from my home. So crazy seeing my hometown in this video. Born & raised in Knoxville 😌
Mike I am so enjoying watching your journey...I just love the way you enjoy your food 😊
oh my god, my family lives in Knoxville! That's the Sunsphere, near UT Knoxville!
Same problem sleepy while driving. I find if my taste buds are awake, I'm generally awake. So I chew on an apple or something tangy. It's the only thing that works to keep me from dozing off.
I can't say I've ever done back-seat driving from my living room, but keep your hands on the wheel on the highway! Jeeze! I was half-expecting this whole trip to come to an abrupt end just like that. This was more suspenseful than most movies I've seen.
I recently drove across Canada. Took me for ever, just couldn't put in more than 6 hours of drive time per day. I was in a hotel around 2:30 every day.
Mike, I know that this is a long shot, but if you ever pass through Marietta, Ga, you just HAVE to stop by Williamson Brothers BBQ. Their sauce is a vinegar based sauce that is the best I've ever had! Molasses based sauces have always been way too sweet for me, and the Williamson's sauce is fantastic! Good travels, Mike!
That was the Sunspere in Knoxville. It was built for the 1982 World's Fair. Safe Travels.
I stayed at that exact hotel in Charlotte when I moved there two years ago, love A Lofts.
Mikey!🤗 nope you aren't not the only one loves country music, Me and my dad loves it💗
The lady who was the Exec of the Country Music Association in the late '80s! early '90s kind of took country music to Japan. It got to be pretty popular up to the last I was at all interested. I don't know what's up now, but people tend to carry on liking music once they start.
I use mindfulness for long trips. I go into a semi-trance when driving, and don't get tired for 19 -22 hours.
Mikey Chen I love watching all your channels then I came across this little gem and now see that we were at one time neighbors! I'm from about an hour east in Elizabethton TN!!!! I knew I liked you other than your love for food!! Love your videos your awesome
Born and raised in SF and now I go to school near Knox. Big difference!
Mike, I thought I was the only Chinese person to like Country Music. My mom was born and raised in Chicago, (me, I'm a native New Yorker) so I grew up listening to it. Yeehaw!
Dude, your cross country road trip is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Oh yay, Nashville Tennessee is my Home town even though I don't live there anymore!!! THE VOLUNTEER STATE!!! I went to School in Brentwood Tennessee, which the county name is Williamson county.
Lmao the manager was surprised they had chicken necks hahahaha
Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds keep me up on long road trips!
I remember the drive from North Carolina to Nashville sooo long
The secret to long drives is Sunflower Seeds...

I like country music as well! I lived in Nashville for 2 years.
you're so entertaining, I love your videos
I’m from Knoxville, and it was so weird watching you record a daily drive for me 😂
Bojangles have the best Steak biscuits. Don't know why Dorothy wanted to do back to Kansas. Lol
Hey! I absolutely adore your videos! And I finally came across this, and I cannot believe you’re from Knoxville!!!! I’m from about 20 minutes from Knoxville. But yes. Your elementary school is still there and that big sparkly thing is called The Sun Sphere!!! You should really come back through Knoxville someday and check out the food down town and surrounding areas!
I love chicken necks too. At Thanksgiving my father and I always fought over who got the neck, and finally learned to split it in half. I was in rural South Carolina once and stopped at a KFC. They had fried gizzards, hearts, and liver. The only KFC I’ve ever seen them in. Cooked perfectly. The livers were just right, not dried and rubbery
The gold sunspere is from the 1982 worlds fair held in Knoxville
Waiting for your next vlog, Mikey!! 😭
Can you please make your video longer? Thanks.
Love the travel videos. Please show more of the landscape :)
Gum. Chew some gum. It keeps you awake and alert for long drives. Also helps with hunger.
Lol....its because your driving....lol...my sisters have get like that then they buy pumpkin seeds jerky, and other snacks with a little ice chest of sodas and water....😂🤣
omg i live for country music Hank Williams June Carter johnny cash and dolly parton and theres more but such legends i love country music glad u like it two cos i also thought i was the only asian that liked country music☺☺☺☺
oh my - Tennessee .... the rolling hills of Tennessee will put anybody to sleep - I have to stop every 100 miles or so and walk around - extra so between Nashville and Memphis (right outside of Nashville is Bucksnort and I always drive thru there)

Hey, at least the scenery changes a bit. Once he gets into Central America, it can get pretty barren and boring (no offense to people out there).
I can't believe you're making and editing videos while on the road!

Mike when are you gong to get the BoBerry biscuits lol. Have a safe trip.
I wish they had BBQ like that in the UK. Making me miss it! Drive safe
If you'd had longer to spend in middle Tennessee there is a BBQ place called Prater's BBQ in McMinnville, TN that would be worth the trip. It doesn't look like much on the outside but the food is good.
Franklin is not the "country" part of Nashville, it's the suburb part, AND yes, Edley's BBQ is AMAZING!!
love your videos Mike!!! i wish I had a friend like you to go travel the world with. I've never heard of vacationing alone but im definitely going to try it out one day :D
I live in the nashville area and work 2 blocks from peg leg porker. I go at least once a week. next time you come through be sure to visit. also I love your videos of Hong Kong and am trying to plan a visit there this spring. Life long goal.
Hot Oil! -Mikey Chen
I tend to get very tired on long drives as well. I drive 5+ hours pretty regularly, I haven't tried coffee but I have found that listening to music that pumps you up helps me, personally. In my case that's mostly heavy metal, but peppier country songs could work too?
I absolutely love living in Nashville! It's a great and fun place to live
Omg! You're in my home city! I grew up in Nashville! Well Brentwood/Franklin area! Hope you enjoyed!
I fall asleep driving about an hour too. I thought that was only me.
omg. idk when u were there, but did u ever go to Duffs Smorgasbord??!!!!!! I am from McCreary County, which is an hour and a half north or Knoxville, right on the Kentucky/Tennessee border, in the Ky side!!!
Try eating Sunflower seeds to stay awake when Driving

That sparkly gold ball was built for the '82 Worlds Fair.
Which Bojangles store was this? I'll be hopefully partaking in the wonders that is Bojangles Chicken when I'll be road tripping over to TN in September. Also, welcome to the Bay Area!
Wasnt that circle thing part of the worlds fair. Went there long time ago
Cant wait to see your vid whike in kansas city!!!!!! Hope you were able to try kvC koes or arthur bryants....celeste in kansas
There is a reason that the mid-West is called "fly-over" states. You can drive for miles and the scenery (or the horizon) doesn't really change. So, driving on the freeway is monotonous and sleep-inducing. When I was in the US Navy and traveled much more extensively across the nation than I do now, I would make it a point to find a rest-stop along the freeways or a turno off onto a busy McD's parking lot and nap a bit. It was much better than falling asleep at the wheel and endangering unsuspecting fellow drivers.
"What do you mean chicken necks?" I thought something was about to go down. ;)
Country Music Hall Of Fame is on Broadway downtown Nashville 4 hrs from Knoxville lol.
Love your road Trip!
Sniff tiger balm, that'll keep ya awake

Hey I was born and raised in Kansas and there are hundreds of beautiful sites to see buddy!!!
I used to hate driving through Kansas, and now, I live in Kansas..... I'm learning to find beauty in flatness.
Dude, I just ate.. now I'm hungry again! Thanks Mike haha.
My Asian inside me would just sleep in the car and hit the rode as fast as I can to get to my destination
Love your stuff Out of pure curiosity, have you tried the restaurant in the sun sphere? Hey from Maryville :)
The Sun Sphere. It was built for the 1982 Worlds Fair. Knoxville is the best!
KC BBQ. Please try Q39 and burnt ends. Yum.

Oh my home state 💕 it’s so weird seeing it on a KZread video lol

416 rem. I don’t see how he can turn you down. You probably know ribeye is his favorite. Tell him it will be 54 ounces. He usually gets the 32 ounce in the restaurant, only because that’s the biggest steak they have in the restaurants in NY.
Filipino, and I love me some country music! John Denver is my queen. (heheh)
