I'm Mexican. We literally have portable mini stoves. Straight making a full on Carne asada on our lunches sometimes.. Mondays we have a lot of leftover meats from yesterday's bbq.. great meals
I used to work construction in California, and the food was one of the things I loved about working with Mexican crews! (that, and they knocked out the work so fast! One school I was building, the Drywall subcontractor sent two crews out one Monday. The Mexican crew was assigned one side of a hallway, and the white guy union journeyman crew was assigned the other side of the hallway. The white guys started out laughing at the Mexicans and blathering about how they were going to show them how it was done and would be way ahead of them. Then they started getting their bespoke tools and benches and supplies out and properly arranged, got their bags loaded with screws, and then they began to get ready to hang their first sheet of drywall. The Mexicans had already hung the first 6 sheets, and fully screwed off, and mud being applied... The Mexican crew got their side of the hallway finished by the end of the day, while the white guys were now totally silent, and about half way down the hall. The white guys didn't show up on Tuesday, they told their boss that they didn't want to work with the Mexicans anymore and were put on a nice safe garage remodel job, and meanwhile the Mexicans went back and repaired the mistakes the white guys made, and finished the rest of the hallway mid morning! Lol I was the forklift operator on the site, and I had a hard time keeping up with getting units of drywall set for them they worked so fast! Now, I know not all white guys suck that bad (I AM a white guy after all lol), but after all the smack they were talking, I was happy to see them totally dominated!
I remember working on new construction project about half a decade ago. We were building a massive old folks home. Every single day for months I’d walk right across the street to Albertsons for lunch and I’d always buy a sub, chicken wings, sushi, gatorades, and a monster. Great food, great people, great memories. Now I work from home and although it’s much better I do miss the camaraderie at times.
My dad worked construction for 45 years. He did the ol "Throw it in the backseat" all the time. He didn't clean out his work truck until he could smell it a block away. One time I swear when he cleaned it out there was about 6 bags worth of garbage he pulled out of it.

UPS driver here from the good ole UP of Michigan. This couldn’t be more accurate. We just get to use the back of our truck as a private dining room and your Amazon box as a table and chairs - super classy.
Every job I’ve ever had I eat my lunch in my truck. My co workers always ask me why I do that. It doesn’t take long to convert everyone to my way of thinking. The boss can’t ask you to work through your lunch if you’re not there.
I’m a firefighter/paramedic, I’ve been at home out of work for several months from an on the job ankle injury. My go to brunch/lunch of choice most days on duty was a strawberry Arnold Palmer and the 3 taquitos for 3.50 deal and my favorite was the Monterey Jack chicken taquitos. Seeing this video made me crave my “7-11 special” so much I went and got it the other day and it was so damn good.
Hahahaha. Yeah believe it or not a lot of us do for the early meals and snacks of the day once or twice a week. This one wasn’t even a gas station just a convenience store. But for a station in the crappy part of the city there’s not a lot in walking distance. But trust me come dinner time we eat like kings haha
Straight up the monterey jack chicken taquitos are amazing. IDK what makes it such a magical experience, but it is. Ever try the Buffalo Chicken roller? Those are so good too.
Don't leave out the construction worker breakfast. Holiday coffee, microwave breakfast sandwich, and scratch off lotto tickets. I've eaten many of those lunches
And the four loko with a 5-hour dumped in it. Because those boys at corporate got upset about "drunken and caffeinated college students". Now we got to assemble our own.

Freaking nailed it , but I’m a Big island guy, we got a gas station here called Minute Stop, and they make fresh fried chicken, it’s literally the best fried chicken in the world and it’s the cheapest lunch in all of Hawaii…
Serbian/Balkan construction worker lunch: Half a loaf of bread, 100 grams of the cheapest baloney and a small pack of mayonnaise. Make a big sandwich out of it. If you're feeling fancy get a cup of yoghurt (our yoghurt is liquid unlike the original greek), but it's usually just a beer that you're drinking the whole day anyway.
Love the videos! Bonus tip, these places usually have the air conditions set to arctic temperatures which is nice after a morning of slacking off on a hot day. Cheers!
You know a place is good when the suits and the blue collars are there. I used to go to a place literally in a guy’s house and state representatives and the concrete crew would be there. Haven’t eaten a better fried pork chop since.
@@DoomedKnight bro it's divine. One of if not the only energy drink I can drink hours later. Edit: it's obviously worse but I feel like most any energy drink tastes horrible 5-10 seconds after taking it out of the coldest temp possible and opening it. Even if it's still pretty cold it's just not enough, and the carbonation fade changes the flavor quickly to the point where everything else tastes just beyond the line of too chemically. Like I said it's not perfect, and better fresh, but the Aussie style lemonade holds up as acceptable for at least an hour or two unless it's left in blistering heat.
Mate once it hits 12:30 i book it a fast a possible down to 711 for a 500ml V and double fist some sausage rolls that so do absolute damage on my digestive system
Had some heavy rain that put an end to work late morning. So after I had half the Funyuns in the parking lot, I headed home to share the rest with my wife. When you work construction, it isn't every day that you get to share a lunch with the woman you love more than anything in the world. I walked into the bedroom, said it was a half day due to weather, held out the bag of Funyuns and the hot dog, and told her that after she got onion breath the best palette cleanser was "The White Monster that I can pull out when I get a free hand". Now I am eating course 3 on the davenport with an extra pillow and blanket that she threw at me after yelling that she wants none of my hot dog and I can enjoy it by myself tonight. I was hungry still so I am eating it all right now, but apparently she isn't planning on anything for dinner so I am going save course 4 and her half of the Funyuns for this evening.
New construction roofing back in the 1990’s in North Carolina, Monday through Thursday lunch was from the gas stations, big fat beefy hotdog coated with coleslaw and mustard, throw on some onions and jalapeños if they had them, a side of a big bag of chips and usually a coke in a 2 liter bottle ( monster had not been invented yet), then Friday we would knock off at 1:00 and head to the county line bar for a burger and beers, hardly ever made it back to work on Friday……Good Times!
This also works for office personnel with only 30 minute lunches. The fastest way to get a somewhat decent meal without having to spend all break in a fast food line
As an inspector on Construction Projects, I have no idea how their stomachs are built for long day of work and eating all these gas station food. The amount of monster drinks they consume on a hot 108 degree summer day is astonishing.
I work construction in Hawaii, we're lucky enough that the 711 here is operated by 711 Japan. So we have -A LOT- of food options, was shocked when my company sent me to a mainland job and all we had to eat at gas stations were nachos/hot dogs.
Give that bun to chef Mike for 7 seconds in the bag and you have a perfectly warmed, ready-to-go bun for your gourmet, rolled-dog construction lunch entree dish at your local gas station
I’m not a construction worker, but every so often I get a mad craving for a hot dog. Gas station hot dogs are the best. You just have to find the one with the best condiments. You know, the fresh onions, relish, mustard and if you’re lucky sometimes gas station chili and cheese. Although once at about 2:00 am we were at the rose bowl parade after New Year’s Eve party and found a Hot Dog Bar restaurant in Pasadena. Now that was munchie heaven. 🥳
This man just spent my daily check for lunch 😭 I just wanna be able to eat out on lunch without worrying about spending half my day on it. I need a raise
You guys may think this is just a silly little CZcams video but watching him put condiments on the bun just changed my life. I will never go back to the way I used to eat hot dogs.
I used to work at a pizza place and there was a huge whole foods/parking garage/apartment complex monstrosity going up across the street. We always had about 30 construction guys come in to get lunch every day, I had no idea how spoiled they were! There was also a chinese place, mediterranean place, and a couple sandwich shops on the same street, really living the high life

Pulling up to a gas station after a couple hours of grueling work can be compared to seeing an oasis in a desert, best feeling ever
There were a few times I sat down in the beer fridge for like 10 minutes after welding in 95 degree heat all day.
Getting that chicken sandwich and a ice cold soda is a good feeling
Plus the adrenaline rush of not always knowing 100% that the food will digest without giving you mid-job runs… exhilarating
Dosing yourself with sugar and carbs after an exhausted body from manual labor is the greatest feeling on earth.

Half a loaf of bread, 100 grams of the cheapest baloney and a small pack of mayonnaise. Make a big sandwich out of it. If you're feeling fancy get a cup of yoghurt (our yoghurt is liquid unlike the original greek), but it's usually just a beer that you're drinking the whole day anyway.
The key to a construction lunch is definitely to eat off site. Even when I pack a lunch, I find somewhere away from the job to eat
You should see some of the gas stations in louisiana. Hot boxes full of boudin balls, corn dogs, chicken tenders. And can't forget the plate lunch
Sounds heavenly
@@MaxPower-ke5rq that's the word to describe louisiana food
You forgot the meat pies baw
@@beautheriot2378 oh how could I. Meat pies and crawfis pies. Make you wanna slap your mom and dad
Literally having lunch this second. Little Ceasar’s 😂😂, I’m an electrician. Oh and of course energy drink!
Lol have you learned to clean up after yourself yet?? Lol
@@seanalexander367 no go ahead and teach him your majesty
@@WakeUp_Neo it's an electrician joke
@@DM_-mq6dv It's really not a joke, just a sad fact in life
This also applies to anyone who works EMS for a busy city ambulance company…I feel this
This guy is so likable, give him his own show!!!
Ya know what I appreciate most about this video? You putting the condiments under the dog.
its all about the platting when you go out for fine dining
That’s a veteran move right there
Except for the blasphemous use of the Anti-Condiment.
ketchup on hot dog is awesome, fight me
@@pikespice let's go! No respect for anyone who puts ketchup on a hot dog. It's worse than putting sugar in your coffee.
Lol. I’m a welder and this is half of our crew at Kwik trip every day.. me being one of them 😂
*"I like my dogs rolled and my monsters cold"*
*~an anthem by blue collar boys*
They Literally build our country unsung heroes
That is the cleanest, most stocked Holiday that I have ever seen.
This is a lunch for just about every guy in the trades. I’m a John Deere technician and this isn’t far off from what I do a few times a week.
Well, this explains how all the hot dog buns get those big thumb prints in them.
I guess I never thought where the buns were
i always wondered why the hell people did that lmao
Can we talk about how many different pairs of safety glasses he wore through this lmaooo
Love the videos! Bonus tip, these places usually have the air conditions set to arctic temperatures which is nice after a morning of slacking off on a hot day. Cheers!
my eats like this and he's in IT 🤣
I don’t work blue collar anymore. But I still enjoy the gas station lunch special regularly. Co-workers do not understand. Wrench on brothers.
You know a place is good when the suits and the blue collars are there. I used to go to a place literally in a guy’s house and state representatives and the concrete crew would be there. Haven’t eaten a better fried pork chop since.
@@chrisestill8825 man you can’t be talking about these places without dropping a name and address first
Solid 9/10 meal. Go with the Aussie style lemonade monster instead though if you really want a Michelin star worthy gas station lunch.
That exsits!?
@@DoomedKnight bro it's divine. One of if not the only energy drink I can drink hours later.
Edit: it's obviously worse but I feel like most any energy drink tastes horrible 5-10 seconds after taking it out of the coldest temp possible and opening it.
Even if it's still pretty cold it's just not enough, and the carbonation fade changes the flavor quickly to the point where everything else tastes just beyond the line of too chemically.
Like I said it's not perfect, and better fresh, but the Aussie style lemonade holds up as acceptable for at least an hour or two unless it's left in blistering heat.
Mate once it hits 12:30 i book it a fast a possible down to 711 for a 500ml V and double fist some sausage rolls that so do absolute damage on my digestive system
Had some heavy rain that put an end to work late morning. So after I had half the Funyuns in the parking lot, I headed home to share the rest with my wife. When you work construction, it isn't every day that you get to share a lunch with the woman you love more than anything in the world.
I walked into the bedroom, said it was a half day due to weather, held out the bag of Funyuns and the hot dog, and told her that after she got onion breath the best palette cleanser was "The White Monster that I can pull out when I get a free hand".
Now I am eating course 3 on the davenport with an extra pillow and blanket that she threw at me after yelling that she wants none of my hot dog and I can enjoy it by myself tonight. I was hungry still so I am eating it all right now, but apparently she isn't planning on anything for dinner so I am going save course 4 and her half of the Funyuns for this evening.
Sounds like another 4 course at the gas station tonight 🤘
"Davenport"...LOL...
Did you just say you ate your own “ white monster”?
Work in the office now but I never quit the gas station lunch life. In my opinion that just proves it is the pinnacle of lunches.
I work with coal miners in Pennsylvania and this is pretty accurate except they use sheetz and everyone’s lunch is packed.
As of an ex of a construction worker, all he really wanted was a roller dog. Even when I made nice meals. Spot on.
Still bitter heather?
@@LilfletchJDub oof
I tried packin a lunch, but getting away from the job site in that air conditioned store is the highlight of my day.
New construction roofing back in the 1990’s in North Carolina, Monday through Thursday lunch was from the gas stations, big fat beefy hotdog coated with coleslaw and mustard, throw on some onions and jalapeños if they had them, a side of a big bag of chips and usually a coke in a 2 liter bottle ( monster had not been invented yet), then Friday we would knock off at 1:00 and head to the county line bar for a burger and beers, hardly ever made it back to work on Friday……Good Times!
I work at a blast and paint shop doing pipe line pipe. And we go to sheetz EVERY SINGLE DAY. And i love it.
The 5 course meal is on Fridays. That's when you put a little kahlua in your coffee
Pro tip: Put the bun in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before preparing the dog. Eat quickly before the bun returns to it's previous stale form.
I absolutely LOVE IT how you sound like an old worn out exhausted dad🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely right about the white monster. But I like the large can where the lid screws on.
Brings back memories. lol. The gallon jug of iced tea, and a candy bar were my drink and dessert of choice.
Lunch hour is typically lunch 30 mini
This is pretty accurate for the oilfield too.
100%. Especially in the Bakken! LMAO
@@2WhiteAndNerdy In the Permian it’s Allsups or Stripes.
@@SilverOilman oh yeah. Hahaha. Stripes tacos (Laredo Taco Company) FTW.
This also works for office personnel with only 30 minute lunches. The fastest way to get a somewhat decent meal without having to spend all break in a fast food line
Office workers not allowed here
AS a construction worker i have to say this actually is a 5 star + Menu.
True to life. 100% accurate. Luxury living is when the taco truck comes by the job site.
This was very similar to my "Enlisted Lunch" when I was in the Army. Down to even eating in the vehicle at the gas station parking lot. haha Primo.
Tornados and a redbull 🤌
Concrete guy here. I feel personally attacked. I love it
As an inspector on Construction Projects, I have no idea how their stomachs are built for long day of work and eating all these gas station food. The amount of monster drinks they consume on a hot 108 degree summer day is astonishing.
I work construction in Hawaii, we're lucky enough that the 711 here is operated by 711 Japan. So we have -A LOT- of food options, was shocked when my company sent me to a mainland job and all we had to eat at gas stations were nachos/hot dogs.
I just had chips, a redbull and an egg salad sandwich from Casey's 🥚🤣
Did you post this comment from the toilet? 😂
@@dullc22 Yes, in a super stinky bathroom 🤣
Give that bun to chef Mike for 7 seconds in the bag and you have a perfectly warmed, ready-to-go bun for your gourmet, rolled-dog construction lunch entree dish at your local gas station
Definitely has big Encino Man energy lol weeze the juice!
I’m not a construction worker, but every so often I get a mad craving for a hot dog. Gas station hot dogs are the best. You just have to find the one with the best condiments. You know, the fresh onions, relish, mustard and if you’re lucky sometimes gas station chili and cheese. Although once at about 2:00 am we were at the rose bowl parade after New Year’s Eve party and found a Hot Dog Bar restaurant in Pasadena. Now that was munchie heaven. 🥳
2:39 is very true! Although not only construction but Walmart too. I never eat in break room. I walk out to my truck and eat.
Classic video topic as always! Loving the content more and more. Don’t forget about the Tornadoes. Best, David and Rachel from CFS!
Lol I was just thinking that!
This is my husband exactly! Especially the part about throwing the trash in the back seat....hilariously accurate
Let's not be lazy...make him a delicious lunch that his coworkers would be envious of.
@@jneusbaum3697 i do. But he still buys second lunch....and how dp ypu know that I dpnt workl too
@@AdrienneJung.M Why would you...you're too beautiful to work.
@@jneusbaum3697 Yeah, But only if he makes YOU a delicious lunch that YOUR coworkers will be envious of.
This man just spent my daily check for lunch 😭 I just wanna be able to eat out on lunch without worrying about spending half my day on it. I need a raise
True, nowadays all that cheap crap would be close to $20
You guys may think this is just a silly little CZcams video but watching him put condiments on the bun just changed my life. I will never go back to the way I used to eat hot dogs.
I used to work at a pizza place and there was a huge whole foods/parking garage/apartment complex monstrosity going up across the street. We always had about 30 construction guys come in to get lunch every day, I had no idea how spoiled they were!
There was also a chinese place, mediterranean place, and a couple sandwich shops on the same street, really living the high life
As someone from the Oklahoma where he have a "Quick Trip" on every corner, I would feel extremely underwhelmed walking into a "Holiday".
Qwik Trip is an imposter. Kwik Trip is the finest gas station in America.
You guys got Kum and go lol
Please make a “Dogs rolled, monsters cold” tshirt! 😂
