Just an fyi from a trucker, do your laundry after you take a shower so you can wash the clothes you took off and not cary dirty ones back to your truck. Also, my hubs and i have had many, many meals from truck stop groceries (spent 9 years over the road), Love's truck stops always had the best varietys. You can also check the coolers, some places even sold bacon and eggs as well as lunch meat, hot dogs, and our favorite was the Better with Cheddar brats, soooo good. Happy and safe travels to you.

There is nothing better than coming home from work on Monday kicking back with the wife and watching Ryan before dinner.

Hey Ryan, pro chef here. You should put a folded wet towel/paper under your cutting board to make it secure. Also maybe get a slightly bigger one that would suit your knife better (wood is dirtier but easier on the edge of the knife, plastic is cleaner). Also a heat proof silicone spatula would help you clean up pots and pans better = less waste and less dishwashing :) Thanks for the content, always great.

I swear this is the most unintentionally hilarious video you have done Ryan. I was seriously laughing the whole way through. The audacity of some of those meals, only you can pull off something like that. Ah man, I love this channel 😂😂😂

I'll never look at Lay's classic chips quite the same way ever again. I watched that 30 second segment 3 times. Simple.. yet Brilliant use of your ingredients. Your ability to wing-it as a chef is fun to watch. Love the channel. Thanks

We love watching you Ryan. ❤ My hubby and I always watch your show every evening before we go to bed. You are SO CREATIVE! (Who would think that LAYS could be made into mashed potatoes)! I am happy I found your series a few months ago.

The meals using only gas station food makes me think of that show "Chopped" where you could only use the basket ingredients. Definitely keeps you creative with those meals.

Hey Ryan. Been watching your videos a lot these days. Thanks for sharing the cooking advice and positive vibes. The thing I like most you is that you seem like a healthy, positive, drug & alcohol free person that is a good role model for me right now. Keep up the good work! I appreciate you!

In a pinch, good mayonnaise (Blue Plate or Duke's for example) makes a good egg yolk substitute. Good mayo is egg yolks, oil, acid, and salt. I've made both Hollandaise and Caesar dressing using mayo. This doesn't work as well with lesser brands because they also use egg whites.

Ryan, your voice is so calm and conversational. I fall asleep to your videos every night. They calm me. LOVE seeing so many subs. I remember when you had about 20k!

I would highly recommend not having your laptop on a blanket while doing anything demanding - it breathes from the bottom, best to have it on a solid surface or even better - elevate the bottom off a surface so it can have unimpeded airflow, might make whatever you have going on happen a little faster, and lead to less wear and tear of this internals

Genius! Love it. This should be a regular series.

Got rid of everything and bought a van. Been in it for about two months and loving it. Watching you pushed me to do it. Thank you

I love this dudes van. I don't have the desire to own one, but if I did, I would want that build. 😁 It's like a traveling man cave. The layout is great, the color is great and the ceiling is amazing. I've been thinking about making something like that for my office.

Love your videos. Laundry tip, throw laundry bag in with wash so you can put clean clothes in a clean bag.😊

Just stumbled upon your channel & I am obsessed. Didn’t even know you were a fellow Baltimorean (Marylander) until I was already subscribed. My husband & I want to convert an rv or something sooooo bad & live on the road so seeing you do it is such an inspiration. You are so cool & down to earth I genuinely enjoy watching your videos!! I watched the entire Alaskan Highway video & now I’m hooked 🎉😂 I hope nothing but blessings come to you in the future 😊

Pro tip Ryan: Whenever you're making toasties just lather up both sides of the sandwich and insert your filling before you toast up in the pan, the mayo has a higher burning point than your bread, giving your filling more time to melt and a tastier, more crunchy crust. Love the content, keep it up x

Well, not the best food choices, but fun to watch. Maybe spend 24 hours at a Buc-EES! And do your dishes 😂

I'm impressed that you were able to cook what you did with the ingredients you had. Rehydrating the chips was a great idea. I enjoy these videos - keep them coming!

LOVE your videos, thanks for sharing. Living in Arizona was an extra treat. Hope you keep making videos!

Love seeing your camping videos, Ryan! I remember when I worked at Subway giving people just veggies all the time.

I love when you do meals! It’s so fun to watch, and I love how creative you get.

Ryan's recipe ideas are always great. I was wondering what to have for dinner tonight and now I think you gave me an idea with that custom made shepherds pie!

I have to say Ryan !!! There’s no limit to the imagination you use in your cooking using potato chips to make shepherd’s pie !!! You are definitely your own man !! ❤😊👏👏 Your hand is not big enough to hide the dishes in the sink … 😮

The operator of that claw machine should serve jail time for setting the machine at the lowest possible setting.

Enjoyed the editing and music for the mash potato scene, very cool.

I am so happy I saw your video, it put me in a good mood. Keep up the good work, we need more people like you Ryan. Stay true to who you are.

OG of van life 🔥

I love it when you say "and why not" and it all turns out amazing!!

Great vlog, Ryan! How is the Japanese truck doing?

I love this so much. Cool ideas on cooking. Glad i found you on here.

OK. That was a creative use of truck stop sandwich food but the rest of the world is still stunned at how GD sweet everything in the USA is - I remember the sugar content of commercial bread was obscene. Real rye bread, pickles ,onion, cured meats, cheese and hot mustard. Or in Asia, fish or eggs and rice and vinegar, ginger/garlic, bitter greens, etc. Salsa, beans and eggs with corn tortillas. Flat bread stuffed with curried veggies in South Asia or slow-cooked mashed beans with garlic and olive oil spooned into a pita and eaten with a fresh hot pepper in the Middle East. Lots of roasted, savoury meats at truck stops too along with thick, wholesome soups and warm, fresh bread. The rest of the world doesn't eat dessert for actual meals - except for sliced fresh fruit and plain yoghurt with honey as a side dish in some European/Middle Eastern/Greek places along with the savoury - typical breakfasts/lunch. No wonder USA people are so big :D EDIT - even the ham and pickle relish are stuffed with sugar :o EDIT 2 - Sheppard's Pie = lamb or mutton, Cottage Pie = beef and neither have beans. Just saying (shepherds tend to sheep, not cows). No tomato sauce - gravy! 'Merica! EDIT 3 - lotsa fun and very entertaining but nothing nutritious or authentic :D :D

Amazed by the mashed potatoes . Husband and I saw a easy bake oven at Walmart and thought what an awesome cooking challenge for you. Haha

Love this video! More gas station food creations from the van please! 😊

I went to culinary school and I have to say a big thumbs up for your ingenuity in creating that shepherds pie with gas station ingredients.

Great video and great job working with gas station items. Thanks for sharing

A+ For the food creativity!

man i will forever love this type of channel always glad to come across a channel like this one

Great work Ryan! Loving your films

Great Job on the Chip-Mash I think those hard boiled yokes-Benedict would of did me in, I would of been in the rest room for the last hour for sure. Another Great video, Thanks.

🤣🤣🤣I enjoyed watching you come up with your version of Sheppard’s Pie. I wonder if my British hubby would go for that.👍🥰

Ah yes tide pods... right next to the food items are people eating them again? 😂😂

I was totally impressed with the potato chip hack to turn them into mashed potatoes. Great job!

Yo bro ur real af keep it up. Loved the Alaska - dalton highway video

Haha man this is some crazy Frankenstein cooking 😂.

I sometimes drive so long I have trouble standing up so I understand the massage chairs, but never would try it now. You are brave!

I think a gas station recipes cook book is in order. Love this episode of culinary invention and reconstituting bland to cuisine. You never fail to entertain!

Love your channel always great videos. You're killing it out there.

You looked like you were about to meet Teddy and Franklin in the thumbnail 😂

That is a nice truck stop. We used have one just like that in Walton, KY TA Petrol with lots of items but they tore it down and replaced it with less than 10% of what they used to offer.

i love you Ryan!!!! ❤ Sending all love from Czech Republic 🇨🇿

Oh man. I'm so glad you washed those dishes😆😆

Awesome video Ryan!!! Our cats a fan now too.

Okay, this really was a fun video, but not gonna lie, I was dying just a little over the hollandaise. Eggs benedict are one of my signature dishes, and this broke my heart just a little lol I was even down with your lays mashed potatoes, but the hollandaise had me yelling NOoooooO! at my computer screen!

Reminds me of my trucking days🤙🤙good stuff bro ✌️👌

And yes I really like those days when u post or at least few day in one vlog love it.

I spit my iced tea out when you were describing the air going up your butt in the massage chair!😂😂😂 I so enjoy your videos, Ryan. Your family must be so proud of you. ❤❤

Enjoyed the content, The chair scene though 😆Had to watch it twice!!!

You are my new favorite. It’s amazing how creative you are. With food from a convenience store

If it's beef it's Cottage Pie if it's lamb it's Shepherds Pie 😉 Love and peace from Australia as always Ryan 🦘😘😘

Great vid Ryan love your stuff!😊

Another great video ! Creative ,funny and entertaining as always ! Love the hand over the dishes ,,,you dont see those ! Safe travels as always !!!

As u were”cooking” shepherds pie. I was gagging! Lmao

“Can I get some relish?” *Grabs onions, peppers, cheese” 🤣🤣🤣I would’ve done the exact same thing

I hope everyone watching this is having a prosperous and goal achieving year so far!

There is nothing better than coming home from school and watching Ryan 🤙🏽

This is really great brother, keep sharing amazing videos with us ❤

Wow the hot desert land!! Arizona?? Looks like it. Beautiful and fun looking I gotta say.

I think a great video would be that: A day without electricity in the Van, no powerbank, no solar or anything - fire for all cooking and candles etc..

LOL! Adventure chef!

Always enjoy your videos!! I am curious... What happened to your spice blend?

While putting the shepherds pie in the oven you said...."I haven't had anything else to eat today"..... What about the sandwich you made earlier in the video? lolol. 😀

You can make Egyptian fried eggs with those boiled eggs. Or you can make Tapatio style fried boiled eggs -- slice, fry them in the butter, and add hot sauce. It's delicious!

It's funny to see someone doing this for content. Worked like 3years at a doing night shift at a gas station. Cooking like this was my life then. Always thinking "What can I do to make this junk food better?"

That mash potatoes from lays look awesome!

A new Ryan video! Makes my day 😁

You make me smile.

Smoke alarm low battery. Love the video 👍

Ryandagoat with another banger!

I'm amazed. 😊 I learned alot.

You're in my hood! I hope you enjoy yourself!

I had a giggle watching you create your meals, reminded me of my other half cooking... he always thought the food tasted pretty good too, in reality it tasted like crud 😂😂😂 At least you didn't get food poisoning from the burger... I was worried for you 😅

As long as you have groceries ..you're doing ok. Just not fancy

I love all your videos...love when you cooking so entertaining 😉👍🏝️🌇

Fold that laundry Ryan!

Just what I needed to watch at the end of a long work day. You’re funny without trying. Top moment for me was the ”Feels violating” moment on the massage chair. Ha! 😂

Great Idea...loved it, I think the lunch looked the best for me! That's a LOT of dirty dishes......Cheers Ryan!

That is such a creative breakfast, even if it wasn't your favorite!

I enjoy watching your videos, some more than others. I have a laughter/horror response to your GenZ cuisine cooking. Thumbs up on the cottage pie you made (shepherd's pie is made with lamb... as in sheep-herder pie). It was pretty clever. I was pleased that you didn't top it with GenZ gravy (ranch dressing). Pringles would possibly have been easier to use, since they are basically formed and baked instant potatoes, but I don't know about better.

knew shiiii started getting real serious with the boiled Lays😂

You did great job, Ryan

Impressive meals! Can't wait for more!

🤣I'm going to clean this all up, push everything into sink.

That is such a bad ass ride.

i say good job. that smoothy with the granola bar. yum even the eggs ben looked good

A+, this is great

Bro.!!!! You are in Tonopah. That’s awesome. I live 30 minutes away

you should do this at a BUCEES, guarantee the video would go viral.

As a fellow traveler, I've met folks that have stayed multiple days at Loves/TA/FJ - using these stops as a base station for visiting local sites. Just do NOT set up an 'apartment' outside your rig (It's these people that eF it up for everyone). And park at a different spot every night.

Hahah such a crazy but inventive way of making food 😂 it certainly makes vanlife a little less mundane for real. Stay safe, God bless.
