Buc-ee’s and Wawa actually have completely different customer bases. Wawa started in the dense northern cities. They built up a reputation for customer service and quality. A lot of their customers have gotten in the habit of starting their mornings at Wawa. This is why they have so many options and ordering might be confusing because for the vast majority of customers ordering at Wawa has been something they’ve been doing for most of their life. They didn’t add gas pumps until after they started getting popular. Buc-ee’s started in the south as a truckstop. In the south there is so much empty land that gas stations can be up to 200miles apart. So Buc-ee’s built theirselves up as a destination for road trippers and 18 wheeler drivers that were getting gas. Their goal is to convince people buying gas to spend more money and things they didn’t know that they wanted.

Someone from NJ here for facts about Wawa! -The name Wawa comes from a native American word for snow geese (Canadian geese) because of the sound they make. -The stuffed pretzels are hit and miss depending on when you go, but when they're fresh absolutely nothing beats them. -Everyone who gets breakfast gets Sizzlis, which are in the area you got the pretzels during breakfast hours. They come in many different variations of sausage/ bacon egg and cheese on croissants, bagels, waffles, etc -Wawa isn't always a gas station, there are lots of stand alone places that people go to just for an easy meal. -The mac and cheese is literally always squishy, but sometimes you want to hate yourself and it's the only thing that will do. -Hoagies and subs are the same thing, but the term "hoagie" is really only used in the greater Philly area. Neither would ever be called a sandwich, like Josh said in the cheese steak video, sandwiches are with the little stacked pieces of bread.

A Hoagie is the South Jersey/Philadelphia name for the sandwich regularly known as a Sub (or Submarine Sandwich). Central and North Jersey has Subs. The main difference is the hoagie bun is not cut all the way through and everything is wedged in. The Sub bread is cut all the way through and has a better distribution of the food in between the bread.

[@seekexplorewander]

Philly native here. Wawa's food used to be a lot better. It does vary store by store....but overall the quality was higher 10+ years ago, but to attract more customers they expanded their menu away from just hoagies, prepared food to go (like the stuffed pretzels, etc.), and breakfast sandwiches to include pizza, burgers, etc. and it impacted the quality of it all. Many people, myself included, are dying for them to slim their menu down like 20 to 33% or more and focus on what they can do well. And yeah, a hoagie from Wawa is nowhere near as good as a hoagie from one of the dozens of great pizza/hoagie spots in Philly (and its suburbs).

[@trip11231]

Yep. They used to slice luncheon meat to order for hoagies, use real eggs for breakfast sandwiches, and cook cheesesteaks on a flat top.

[@Dreamfullofashes]

This! I've seen someone saying "well I user to serve 100 people in an hour, you kids just don't work." Well, back then all they had to do was flip burgers, toss fries into the oil and voila done. Nowadays, there's so many different things to prep and cook of course we need more than one fry cook!

[@saintyoo]

Yesss, the stuff they have now is like processed mush compared to when they used to slice their own deli meat.

[@suedefringe]

This !!!!

[@seekexplorewander]

@@trip11231 Yup. As a teen I would walk over to the one near our house in the city and pick up lunch meat as part of my weekly chores. And then in college I worked for them for a few months one summer. Hoagies were great back then. And they didn't try to make their own bread in house.

[@ElPirato]

I can say the same about the ones in my piece of Virginia (Hampton Roads)

[@eric7133]

Wawa was best when they sourced everything externally instead of making everything in house. They started out just as a deli originally so they used to get all of their cold cuts from Boar's Head, had their bread delivered daily from an Italian bakery in Philly (one very much like the bread that Angelo's has for their cheesesteaks) and locally sourced most things that could be. That period when they were basically a local deli in a gas station was definitely the only time it could challenge Buc-ee's. Unfortunately with their huge expansion, they're just a shadow of themselves when it comes to quality convenience.

Wawa recently celebrated its 60th anniversary. Started as a dairy seller in wawa, PA. Grew into the regional convenience store chain many of us know over the years and didn't add gas til the 90s. It's an institution in many towns in the region. One of the things I've found in my 28 years is that Wawa stores that cater to people locally tend to have a lot better quality control and such than the ones that you'll find along the highway or even major roads

[@michaelmartin7247]

They’ve made their way down to my hometown (Mobile, AL). It will open this summer and I’m curious to check it out.

[@KhronicD]

Like any other store that has spread to many many locations. The quality really comes down to the individual employees at the store and their management. I work in hundreds of different restaurants, including places like Burger King, Wendy's, Dairy Queens, KFCs, you name it. And they ALL vary wildly. It's 100% who works there and how much they care about the job they're doing.

[@WARnTEA]

@@KhronicDWawa built their brand on having good employees. They have a an employee ownership program where employees can get stock int he company as well as benefits. A huge contrast to most convenience stores that just pay their employees minimum wage part time. Of course with so many items on the menu quality control is not easy and can slip depending on the location.

Their spring time seasonal blueberry donuts this year and last summer's strawberry cream filled donuts were/are the bomb😋 Wawa is a staple for PA and NJ. It started as a dairyfarm in PA. I used to drive around all day for work and Wawa was at least 3 stops a day. Gas, food, drinks, and bathrooms. Good for roadtrips or everyday. You missed some key items though. Their to go breakfasts, served before 11am, their "Sizzlis" (which you can order at the counter after noon if you ask nicely)but before 11am they can be found ready to go where you found the stuffed pretzels. Those heaters are filled with Sizzli sandwiches. Basically, bacon or sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches on croissants, English muffins, bagels, pancakes (like the McDonald's mcgriddle)and now waffles. They also have hash browns. The wraps and quesadillas are simple and good. The perogi quesadilla is ridiculous with sour cream. In November, the Gobbler Hoagie and bowls. Turkey in gravy on mashed potatoes and/or sweet potatoes, stuffing (you call it dressing) and cranberry sauce on a roll or in a bowl is the best. All the hoagies are solid, more preference though. Their brand bottled teas and juices...super yum. The chips are mostly local brands. Herr's, Utz...so on. But you also truly missed out on 2 things you can grab there. Actual Philly soft pretzels (by the registers usually) and Philly's pride and joy TASTYKAKES!!! Tastykake is one of the oldest bakery companies in the US. The PB Kandykakes, their butterscotch krimpets and their real individual pies in the mini boxes are the BEST. The pies in the mini rectangle boxes can't be sold outside the tristate, because they have a shelf life of a week. They're made with real ingredients. Not the fake ones in parchment wrappers for tourists, but the actual tiny rectangle boxes with the pies baked in individual tins. Blueberry, lemon, apple, peach, Boston cream...all good.🥰 Buckees is a tourist attraction. Wawa is a way of life. 😆💙💙💙😍

I'm so glad you visited Wawa! Philly is my hometown and where I lived for most of my life. I miss Wawa more than anything (except good cheesesteaks and pizza). I used to stop at a Wawa every morning on the way to work to pick up a cup of coffee, some Tastycakes, and a hoagie to eat later for lunch. (My "go-to" hoagie was roast beef and provolone with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, salt, pepper, and oregano.) Fortunately, however, I now live in Texas and can go to Buc-ee's. The three-meat BBQ sandwich is crazy good!

My PA, Wawa loving heart is so happy to see this. 💕

[@jtroulston6733]

OMFG A WAWA EPISODE. I grew up in the philadelphia area and have been to wawa hundreds of times

[@PADavid12]

As someone from outside Philly, this makes me so happy

[@tylerstory666]

I’m loving this. Guys have y’all ever heard of QT gas stations? They’re next level. Haha this is just so good. 2 hours is a road trip, that’s a work commute for a lot of people here in Texas. Y’all keep up the great work!

[@wildgeese5707]

In NY state a hoagie is a “sub” (short for submarine sandwich). A sandwich is usually on SLICED bread. A sub/hoagie is always on a roll. That’s the difference. It’s the bread.

[@JoshuaJensen-ip5wi]

But this this Pennsylvania not NY and what about grinders?

The punny statements between Josh and Ollie are classic. Did I note a change in Ollie's voice in the ice bath?😆

[@megan2178]

When i lived on the east coast i had 2 wawa's. If your not comfortable w the screen ordering they will just help you out. Best ppl. Good subs. I really liked their chicken noodle soup and had a friend who loved their corn chowder soup thing. There was a 3rd wawa i used sometimes bc it was close to my home but it was so stinking busy. All of them were really busy, just the last 1 always had 15 ppl in line and 3 or 4 ppl working which is a management issue.

[@laurarose1234]

Sandwich = broad category Hoagie/Sub/Grinder = long sandwich on crusty bread

Next time you guys are in the states you need to come to Maryland and pick some steamed Chesapeake bay crabs and some pit beef BBQ.

[@andreastieff]

Check in with us Marylanders first..there are many terrible crab cakes in Maryland..although they’re still better than anywhere else 🤣 🦀🦀🦀. Josh and Ollie picking crabs would be beyond hilarious.

[@joeterp5615]

@@andreastieff Of course, we Marylanders will fight over which are the best! 🤣 I guess we could let them take a crab cake tour and try several lol. My favorites are Timbuktu’s in Hanover. G&M’s are excellent too.

[@jessicatarr7090]

You need to try a Busy Bee. While they don’t typically have a bunch of self Made options they typically have some cool sweets and their bathrooms are also very nice. Still not as nice as Buccees but one of my other favorite stops if I have to make one

[@bcdushman]

You guys always make me laugh, thank you.

[@allstatejake]

I 've been over the country and tried many different gas station/store combos. Bucee's is in a league of it's own. Nostalgia makes a Sheetz,Wawa,Casey's,7-11,Allsup's,Love's or Pacific Market fan boy but Bucee's make's a believer of anyone who goes there.

​@@LordLOC ive traveled around the world to many places. The USA is unique bc it has food from all parts of the world and its like that almost anywhere you go. When I go to other countries its mostly their cuisine not a ton of other options. America is a melting pot, and our food is the same. Sure you can get unhealthy food but you can also get healthy food, it's all up to you.

jolly, been watching youse tour the northeast coast (nyc and philly) these past few weeks, and i'm thrilled you tried a local chain, wawa. should've had a native walk you thru things, but you did pretty well. thanks for all the jolly good laughs!

[@chrisdanks741]

Wawa is such garbage now though. Gives Philly a bad name when it used to be such an amazing spot. When they got rid of the actual deli, added the gas stations and began expanding all over the country it took a a header into the shitter.

[@adrock1011]

@@chrisdanks741there is truth in your words. My other problem with wawa is whenever i start liking something, they take it away… chili cheese dogs, irish cream coffee, hot roast beef/gravy hoagies to name a few

[@chrisdanks741]

@@adrock1011 yeah then they introduce something that’s terrible in its place. It’s because the stuff that ends up decent costs too much. Like I remember when they first started selling the brisket during the summers it was actually good. Now it’s like dog food cuz they switched suppliers or something, idk.

[@rickyt3961]

thanks Josh n Ollie!

Pennsylvania wawa regular here! Love the chicken tender mac and cheese bowls and the jalapeno pretzels . I go to wawa just like you said. Every time I go on a long drive .

This kind of looks like what QT is in Texas (the ones with a kitchen), an above average gas station that makes food. Buc-ee's is another level above that, but its also an annoyingly busy tourist attraction.

[@chriswhinery925]

Yeah good call it looks like one of the larger QTs. Higher tier than an average station but not comparable to Buc-ee's.

NJ resident here … wawa is known for their hoagies. It’s a good place to stop in and get a quick bite! Their quesadillas are fire, hoagies are fire, mac and cheese, their soups..it’s a really good place to stop before the beach, a road trip or for dinner!!!

WaWa! You must have been in the Philadelphia region! My home town! It's in our blood here in Philadelphia region that we all go to Wawa at least 2 to 3 times a week, minimum. When Kate Winslet was here filming that show for HBO, Mare of Easttown. She commented and how she fell in love with WaWa
