One of the World Cup’s most beloved viral fans added another stop to his growing list of American adventures this week, making a pilgrimage to Buc-ee’s in Auburn, Alabama.
The German soccer supporter, who has captivated social media with his road trip across the Deep South, documented his visit to the massive travel center while sampling some of its most famous offerings.
His menu included a brisket sandwich, one of Buc-ee’s signature items, along with a bag of Beaver Nuggets. The fan’s reactions quickly spread online as he embraced yet another uniquely American experience during his cross-country journey.
The stop fit perfectly with the group’s approach to the World Cup. While many visitors focus solely on matches and stadiums, the German traveler has become famous for celebrating roadside America. Waffle House, Walmart, Chili’s and now Buc-ee’s have become just as important to the trip as soccer itself.
For locals, the visit was a reminder of something they often overlook. For international visitors, a fresh brisket sandwich and a bag of Beaver Nuggets can be every bit as memorable as a World Cup match.
The American road trip remains undefeated.
